Machida vs Gastelum

[C0NCH3TO]

Since Kelvin loves to fight 40 year old fighters I think he would agree to fight Machida asap. Lyoto has nothing to lose either.

Who you got?

 

[BigMuffler]

Bad idea, Kelvin is close to a TS and Machida is nowhere near one.

 

[Grijswaarde]

He has that fight to lose.

But also... bullshit to put Kelvin against Machida at this point. Absolutely makes zero sense.

 

[DarkneT]

Kelvin is wayyyyyyyy above and beyond Machida
Let's not get stupid

above and beyond current Machida....yes. Prime Machida would be a different story. I'd really like to see Machida retire now on a winning note. There's no reason for him to get KO'd by guys like Brunson (that never would've happened to a 30-year old Lyoto).

You can't be mad at Gastelum for fighting old fighters when the top of MW is full of em.

I got better uses for a time machine bro

Machida's chin is gone, he looked horrible against Anders.

Kelvin is a stupid fight and probably a murder

 

[Private Whatley]

No. Machida vs Bisping just like the call out said. Gastelum will probably get matched up with Usman if he wins his next week

Yes to Machida Bisping. No to Gastelum vs. Usman. Both guys are on the brink of title shots in different divisions. That fight makes approximately zero sense.

 

[machidafan99]

this is one elderly he'll lose to

Huh?

 

[LargeMammal]

Just typical Sherdog response to a mid-tier vet putting in an impressive win.

I mean really... besides this win (which we all admit was easy on the eye) what has Machida done to warrant challenging the likes of Gastelum??

I can strongly imagine most Machida fans would welcome his retirement following that win rather than following another devastating KO defeat

 

[justblaze717]

Kelvin knocks him out.

 

[K-Town Punk]

Machida should go up against Bisping and Gastelum should fight Weidman one more time for the #1 contender spot in my opinion. I don't see Machida beating Gastelum just because of one impressive KO against an old and worn-out Vitor Belfort, as much as I'd love to see the Dragon do the same to him.

Not really he just got arguably outstruck by jacare and machida is a better striker. Machida also performed better against vitor than kelvin did. Kelvin ate some hard punches against vitor and machida took zero damage.

 

[orca]

Let machida fight legends and winnable fights only. He deserves it.

 

[fermaPY]

Machida vs Bisping as retirement fight for both....
That thing makes sense
Kelvin vs The Dragon not

 

[Kinosis]

Machida vs Bisping is a good fight for both guys.

 

[Sansnom]

Machida is a really bad matchup for Bisping imo. I think Bisping is more shot than Machida at this point. Dude can barely see. I think Machida knocks him silly.
