Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida’s next UFC fight will be for a title.
With his darting karate style, Machida was able to land a crushing straight right hand to the jaw of Ryan Bader at UFC on Fox 4 Saturday in Los Angeles, and “The Dragon’s” fate was sealed.
Dana White broke the news of Machida’s earned shot shortly after the event, so the question now is: Who will he face?
Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is set to face legendary fighter Dan Henderson at UFC 151, so we know it will be one of these two men.
