Let's seem them: Lyoto Machida 202.5 vs. Mauricio “Shogun†Rua 204.5 Ben Rothwell 265 vs. Cain Velasquez 238 Spencer Fisher 155 vs. Joe Stevenson 155.5 Anthony Johnson 176 vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida 170 Josh Neer 156.5 vs. Gleison Tibau 157 Ryan Bader 205 vs. Eric Schafer 205.5 Patrick Barry 237 vs. Antoni Hardonk 249.5 Yushin Okami 185 vs. Chael Sonnen 185 Machida Velasquez Fisher Johnson Neer Bader Hardonk Sonnen
picking sonnen over okami is a pretty bold move. I think okami completely destroy sonnen, Anyway Shogun-machida really hard to pick. a prime shogun would whoop him something fierce imo, but he looked rather crap recently. Still, i think he nails machida and ko him eventually rothwell-velasquez velasquez is the shit, but he's undersized at hw. still, he beat the fatass rather easilly. Johnson-Yoshida Johnson is really talented, but he gives me the vibe of a frontrunner. still, he should ko yoshida since his stand up a million time better than kosheck barry-hardonk barry is good but undersized. Hardonk is crap, but big. Hardonk will win and force pat to lhw fisher will beat stevenson since stevenson 's garbage. The rest, i don't really care about.
I don't think any version of Shogun 'whoops' Machida easily. You are right, Sonnen is a stretch but I think he'll pull it out. Rothwell is a huge test for Cain.
