Former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida and contender Ryan Bader have agreed to meet Aug. 4 at UFC on Fox in Los Angeles, the promotion confirmed Monday night on Twitter.
UFC first revealed the news to Brazil-based website esporte.ig.com.br
This card could be at least as good a draw as Evans/Davis. They just have to promote Machida's unorthodox karate style vs. Bader being one of the hungry young fighters tryin to get title shot, and they can market Lombard's 23 fight win streak against the All American Brian Stann. if they can stack the main card with another 2 strong fights, it should do the trick. But who knows...
agreed.Originally Posted by 4wrestling
That sucks. Not that I'm any less interested in the July 7th show now, but I was really looking forward to Cruz officially ending Faber's career that night.

This is actually pretty awesome if it plays out how I want it to in my mind. I was already planning on going, but I'd rather see Barao vs. Faber for the interim and have Mayday McDonald fight Menjivar. That would be sweeeeetOriginally Posted by chino905

I hope he meant to say that he thinks MMA is bigger than American Football if you look at it from a World Wide perspective and not within the United States. Even then, i'm not sure if i buy that.Originally Posted by The Fresh Sole
Those fox ratings don't look good and dana white had the nerve to say they are bigger than football. I know he's a douche, I appreciate his hustle but damn he says some dumb things.
