I think there's some sort of metal thing that Machida had. Being Brazilian, he felt that he was superior than all the American fighters he had fought. Just like how an American just naturally feels superior than a Canadian person. It's a stigma maybe (that Brazilians are better fighters than American. You can debate this, but it's just an observation. Just like how white people feel superior than Mexicans), and a reason why Machida was unstoppable for a while.

But then Tiago Silva came along, although a fellow Brazilian, but Machida had experience and age over him

Then comes Rua. The biggest threat so far. Has just as much experience if not more than Machida. You could classify Machida and Rua as equals. Both Brazilians. This could've played a factor in the mental game. You can see in Machidas eyes as he walked towards to the octogan, in his 2nd fight, that he was visibly shook (scared and/or worried)

That being said, I think Machida will beat Rampage in convincing fashion, because he drinks his own piss

Well. So does Luke Cummo and that didn't do too many wonders for him.

Hope Machida wins. Rampage isn't a dick or anything, but sometimes he plays one on TV

I'm not a dick in real life. I just play one on TV.

Luke Cummo is hummo

Rampage doesn't seem hungry anymore these days. He's at the point where he's a celebrity, people like him, he's beaten Chuck Liddell. A loss won't really hurt him. He really has nothing else to prove.

Machida on the other hand, needs to win. He looked like a bitch against Rua (twice), and I think he feels that he needs to prove himself to gain his respect back

Dana white said Rampage is hungry and ready..

dana white said james toney was in good shape and lookexd serious about his fight

THIS

I hate little fanboys who call fighters bitches. Seriously, do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Well Machida did kind of look like Rua's bitch the last time we saw him.

I'd like to see a double knockout.

You kno I have a hard time calling someone a bitch because he got beat up by Shogun Rua.

After dismantling everyone else he fought.

I said he looked liek Rua bitch, not that he was one. Don't get so excited.

Yeh of course Dana's gonna try and pump up the fight and say said fighter is in the best shape of his life. He's a business man.

Yeah, it's fucked up calling someone a bitch because Shogun kicked his ass, but really 99.9999% of everyone on earth is Shogun's bitch, including you and me.

shut the hell up, I'll get as excited as I want.

And he didn't say he was only Rua's bitch, he said he "looked like a bitch". I mean come the fuck on. I just hate this generation of fan in any sport. They don't really take anything into consideration... it's like "he lost therefore he's a bitch".

I watched Forrest Griffin get dismantled by Anderson Silva, but I didn't leave that fight saying "what a bitch", I was more thinking "jesus christ Anderson Silva is a beast."

I didn't say he said anything, I only spoke for myself.

Oh, and yeah Forrest got up and ran away, like a bitch.

Phil Davis is a BEAST..

So pumped for 123. Phil Davis, Lauzon, BJ, Rampage, and Chandella Powell's sweet ass.

thx for proving your ignorance :)

I said like a bitch, there's a difference between "is" and "like". But I don't expect you know that difference.

And really, you could have chosen a better example, you know one where the guy who just lost doesn't actually run away.

Honestly, when ur fighting the baddest men alive, sometimes ur gonna get tuned up. And you know wat, when you train like a mofo for a fight and it ends with you getting completely dominated, it's a hard pill to swallow. Forrest is also completely loco.

But ok, keep calling the most dangerous men on the planet bitches.

Koscheck pretending he got ilegally kneed in the head is a bitch move in my book

Come on, show some respect for your opponent who just demolished you than atleast, don't just get up and run like, well a bitch.

Once again, I have called no one a bitch.

Will you bitches STFU??

Why don't you make me? Huh, how bout that.

God so fn pumped for this!!

Ppv channel isn't showing the countdown.. I would have watched it online today..

:foc:

Ill black you out like your boy Rampage is gone get.

Gone fuck boys yo.

Fuck Karo Parisian..

Hahahahahaha

War Phil Davis!!
