Rampage will not be fighting Machida next, he will be coaching against Rashad Evans in the next season of TUF.
Also, the link says that the next season will be heavyweights, which will be awesome.

Also, the rumorsare now that Machida's first defense will be against Shogun now, but I haven't heard anything solid on that.

So they are building toward a Rampage-Evans match,I'd rather see a Rampage -Machida bout.

Yep, Evans/Rampage are confirmed as coaches.

Shogun fight is just a Rumor but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. He didn't do good against Coleman, got choked out by Griffin, but did KO Liddell in his last outing. However most of the ex Pride monsters have been given title shots based solely on that. Henderson got a crack at the MW and LHW belts, Rampage got his shot after beating Eastman only... Some people may get all pissed but Rua was a monster in Pride in 2005 - if that Shogun shows up Machida is in trouble. And just on the chance he may show up in that shape again it's worth that alone to make the fight happen.

If Mousasi and Belfort can't agree on a weight it won't happen, I hope they do. That would be an awesome fight but no matter what Mousasi would have a size advantage.

Whats your name? If you don't mind.

I'm sure others will want to know too...

I've never competed but I did gather up the courage to take up Jiu Jitsu & NHB training a couple years ago. I can't afford it anymore but hopefully that will change. We had many local MMA fighters and I trained with them on a weekly basis for about 6 months. I really need to go back because I've lost about 40 lbs since the last time I was there. I actually just emailed the head instructor yesterday to say hello for the first time in like a year, I was pretty serious about it for that 6 months so I was really cool with everyone there. Hoping to go back soon, while I never fought I've gone 110% grappling sessions just like you see in the big gyms for 7 minute rounds with 1 minute breaks. And that was when I was 5'9" tall and 250lbs, trust me it SUCKED trying to hang with 145'ers but I did it. So I'm not just another keyboard warrior who never did anything. So when I see someone gassed, I know what that feels like. And I got cut, scraped, bruised, broken in the 6 months I did it, but I loved every second of it.

Oh and prior to that I had never done any sports in my ENTIRE life. Nothing, no T ball, no High school sports, nothing. So it took some courage to step in without knowing anyone and without any real athletic ability. I learned pretty fast considering too.
