UFC 104: Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua Tonight

Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida is undefeated and has quietly worked his way up the ranks of light heavyweight. Now that he has reached the pinnacle, Machida is well known in MMA circles and beyond as a top 5 pound for pound fighter. Mauricio Rua will try to dethrone him tonight at UFC 104 in what should be an interesting fight. I expect Machida to ultimately take the fight because I think the style of this fight will slightly favor him.

Both of these guys are good strikers and good on the ground. Machida is probably better overall though and that will make a difference. Of course, we'll have to see the fight play out because Shogun will probably have some tricks up his sleeve that will make this one even more interesting than it already is.
