Breakdown
Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio Shogun
I don't see this being really close at all. The chances Shogun can finish the fight and win the majority of rounds is slim. Machida will just be too much in the fight and should finish him.
Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell
Rothwell has a punchers chance vs Velasquez but I think Cain is just too skilled and smart to make any big mistakes. Cain is just too athletic for Rothwell and will run circles around him. Cain by TKO.
Anthony Johnson vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
I would give Johnson the speed, strength, size, athleticism, power, and striking advantages. His opponent Yoshida is very limited in skills and Johnson should win by KO.
Stake: 4%
