                    <blockquote>

UFC president Dana White  put the top contender moniker up for grabs at “UFC on FOX 4.” MMA’s big boss left it up to Machida, Ryan Bader, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Brandon Vera to submit spectacular applications for the gig.

Following Saturday’s thrilling night of fights, White announced Lyoto Machida will get next crack at the light heavyweight crown.

Reigning light heavyweight king Jon Jones is set to defend his throne against Dan Henderson at UFC 151.

Winner will face Machida for the title.

Good. He deserves it. He looked better then any other fighter tonight Phone Post

3

Not interested. He had his shot already and lost decisively. Should be Gustaffson.

I was a little suprise that nobody brought up the possibility of a Machida/Shogun rubber match. What would be wrong with that?

That Jones fights three times a year and needs an opponent quicker than that.

karate is back? Phone Post

Can't wait to see Jones destroy Hendo and Machida. They are both going to receive the worst beatings of their careers, and Jones will make it look absurdly easy.

We've never seen dominance like this in MMA before. Not only has Jones beaten 4 (soon 5) all-time great LHW champions, he has never even been in trouble in a fight. All this and he's only 24 years old. Think about that. At 24 you can already put his resume up against ANYONE in terms of quality of victories.

Too many people don't appreciate what they are seeing. It's a pleasure and a privilege to witness this kind of greatness.

You can call it nuthuggery if you want, but you also have to call it the truth.

it's not greatness, Jones is a HW beating up on smaller men.

What's wrong with a "rubber match" is that Shogun already won the first 2, regardless of what the judges decided.

da Vinci 81 - Not interested. He had his shot already and lost decisively. Should be Gustaffson.

Agree Phone Post

14

yeah its quite hard for me to get hyped about Jones/Machida 2...the first was one-sided and i dont see what Machida can do to really put Jones in danger..Jones is faster and longer than machida...that flashy karate shit doesnt work with Jones..

Yawn, more recycled fights.

How many times do we have to watch the same 6 guys fight each other?

Let some of the real talent get a shot instead of the hype train Zuffa pushed fighters.
