I don't think Rashad has evolved in anyway significant enough to beat Machida in a rematch. MMA is one of those sports where a fighter can be just as good as his last fight, match up against a new opponent and suddenly seem new or better.
It happens all the time with fighters case in point the Shogun who fought Machida for the belt was no worse than the Shogun v Gustaffson.
I think Machida lights him up again. There was a year stretch there where i thought Rashad improved while Machida declined but i think the matchup problems are still there.
I'm more interested in what Machida-Shogun III would look like.
