I really can't see anyone in the LHW division beating Machida. If Silva beats Griffin then I say why not let him try to go for double gold because he is one of the few people who might have a chance at beating machida.

Can't say Rampage deserved the title shot when Machida is the one who came along and looks unbeatable.

I think he'd tear apart Silva alive. Silva looked anything but impressive in his last two fights. I've never seen Machida anything *but* impressive.

Worst god damn ending to a Dream/Pride event i have ever seen in my life. It was an okay card, but that ending was horrible. God damn Japanese can't handle a little blood. They could have put vaseline over the cut but nope. Mayhem must be choked.

Also the biggest upset this year. Kid Yamamoto was defeated by a guy with only one previous MMA fight.

I read somewhere where they said that it would air on HDNET. So if you have the channel you can pvr it or check it out.

I think it starts 2 am Pacific time. Maybe google to be positive. I dont have that channel.

Yup HDNet is showing it live at 2AM PST. Think there is a replay tomorrow at 7PM PST as well.

Sweet, thanks, I'm going to PVR it

Should be interesting

Shelving plans to make Quinton (Rampage) Jackson the first title defence for Lyoto Machida, the UFC is instead matching Jackson with Rashad Evans - the man Machida just beat for the light-heavyweight title.

Jackson and Evans will square off as coaches in Season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality TV show, the UFC announced Thursday.

Jackson had hoped to meet Evans in a title fight, but Machida spoiled that scenario by knocking Evans out last Saturday at UFC 98 in Las Vegas. Jackson was offered Machida but turned him down, explaining Thursday that he had opted to put a title shot on hold to settle a score with Evans.

"Rashad left a bad taste in my mouth. He got up in my face with his bad-donkey breath," Jackson told a conference call, referring to a post-fight tete-a-tete he had with then-champion Evans after disposing of Keith (The Dean Of Mean) Jardine at UFC 96 in March.

"It's unfinished business, homie," added Jackson, who said he wanted "to smack him (Evans) right then and there" during their cage confrontation.

"The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights" will debut Sept. 16 on Spike TV with Evans and Jackson squaring off in December once the show's run is done. It's the first time the series has featured heavyweights since Season 2 when Evans, who has since dropped down to fighting at 205 pounds, was a cast member.

Jackson had hoped Evans would defeat Machida, so he could go after him and the title.

"I wasn't happy to see him (Evans) get knocked out because I wanted to be the first one to knock him out." Jackson said. "I'm kind of jealous of Machida."

UFC president Dana White said he offered Jackson a crack at Machida, only to be told Jackson wanted "to kick Rashad's donkey."

"When somebody says something like that to me, I'm in," said White.

Added Jackson: "Rashad's donkey is grass and I'm the lawnmower. He's going to get his donkey whupped, no matter what."

White said Machida would fight before December against an opponent yet to be determined. Mauricio (Shogun) Rua is one possible opponent.

Jackson had thought he would never coach again, describing himself as a "sore loser" the first time around. But he left Season 7 with a good relationship with the fighters on his team and "when I found out who I would be coaching against, I couldn't turn it down."

Jackson remains close to several of his fighters from the show, with Mike Dolce now part of his own camp as an assistant coach.

The TV show involves cooping up 16 fighters in a Las Vegas home, with no contact with the outside world other than to train and fight. The last man standing wins a contract to fight in the UFC.

NOTES - Veteran welterweight Frank Trigg is returning to the UFC after an absence of more than three years. Trigg (19-6) lost two grudge fights with welterweight champion Matt Hughes in his first stint in the organization.

It will undoubtedly be the most entertaining season of the Ultimate Fighter in the show's history.

I want to see more of Machida, nice to see a few guys in the game who actually knows how to strike and brings some different style to the table instead of being another Muay Thai/Judo/BJJ/Wrestling/Boxing clone. Evans got knocked out badly but at least he went out like a warrior, he needs to work on his strike dence though.
