He is a bigger BJ Penn. Just needs to focus on his conditioning and get his mind right and get in there and drop bombs like he used to and he will be fine. As far as machiada goes, ya hes frustrating for his foes, thats why he wins, he imposses his will and makes his oppenent fight his fight, boring as hell, but his fight. Vera would get his lunch eaten by Machiada. I do agree with the fact that dana would rather see chuck, rua, or wandi fight for the belt before machiada. In my eyes any of those guys can beat rampage or get beaten by rampage I liked to watch Vera fight when he was new and a much more exciting explosive fighter, he has changed his style a bit too dramatically.

He broke his hand in the Silvia fight and was stopped early in the wierdum fight. I hear everyone say that he should fight LHW but not from his mouth. Machida should be getting a title shot but Dana wants Chuck to have the opportunity first. If Chuck wins then he will get the next title shot after the Forrest/Ramp fight..

No one eants to fight a guy who has never had a fun fight and besides his sytle is so frustrating and I feel it is a bad match up for brandon. Machida is gonna get beat by a dangerous striker like Chuck or Wanderlei. THey will get in Machidas face and tko him but Brandon would get schooled by Machida. roy that is the bottom line right there.

All great fighters will tell you that it's a mental game and Brandon needs to somehow penetrate the bubble he's in now. Honestly, I wouldn't want to gain my confidence against someone like Machida who's obviously on a huge roll.
