Saturday night’s main event between Lyoto Machida and Luke Rockhold feels like one of those fights that can’t disappoint (logically, it probably will).
You’ve got two guys who are comfortable taking the fight anywhere it may go. They’ll strike. They’ll grapple. They’ll stalk each other for five rounds if they have to. Whatever the necessary route to the title, they’ll take it.
April 18 is still a ways away, and there’s really no telling how this fight is going to play out. Best we can do for now is break the bout down from head to toe and see if it leads us anywhere closer to a potential outcome for this five-round affair between two title contender.
