Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida
Breakdown
Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida
Evans has holes in his game that Machida will be able to exploit in the striking department and I don't see how Machida opens up any mistakes for Evans to exploit. Machida wins here via unanimous decision by out pointing Evans with his awkward striking style.
