Ken is usually the favorite over Ryu
Rockhold could employ the Shogun kicking strategy, but I doubt he has the chin of Shogun.
I can see Rockhold catching him in a choke like bones did. Rockhold has under rated subs but I also can see how Lyoto wins this fight. I think Rockhold has the power to turn Machidas lights out and I think Luke has a solid chin. Yeah Vitor put him out but that kick caught his temple and while he was dazed vitor went for the kill. I think Luke has good enough mma wrestling to take Machida down. The way I see it playing out though is machida landing good shots but not being busy enough who knows though maybe Machida realizes he needs to be more aggressive to win a decision and get the ko but being too aggressive could hurt him too.
I think Parke against Tibau is a bad bet.
What? Machida will beat him easy.
Machida isn't Bisping/Boetsch/Philippou. Machida would also finish all of them. Machida is on a different level. Rockhold is all hype. He has a decent resum
So because he lost to vitor he is all hype? It's just plain silly to say he's all hype.
Rockhold is 6'3 with a good reach & in his prime.
Lyoto ... Not so much.
I wish Sherdoggers were bookies ... I'd be even more loaded.
