Will Floyd crush the UFC again?

[ИATAS]

May 1st:
UFC 113 - Lyoto Machida (16-0) and Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (18-4)

Should be a lot closer, as Machida/Shogun are bigger names then the last time floyd went up against UFC...

I heard Dana White booked all of May, because he knows That May 1st is a traditional boxing day.

Ive already seen articles on him saying it will be moved.I dont have one though sorry, google it.

Yep, that's right people. Dana White is ducking boxing.

Dana White is not going to compete with Mayweather/Mosley.

From MMA weekly:

Will there be another round of the putative boxing vs. MMA showdown?

According to multiple sources, UFC is reconsidering the May 1 date for UFC 113 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The rumor of a boxing superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley on the same day has come on the radar of UFC president, Dana White, who has told The Canadian Press about a possible schedule change.

The good news is that the venue is currently open every Saturday in May.

UFC 113 will feature a rematch between the light heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. The two met previously at UFC 104 in a title bout and Machida defended the belt via controversial unanimous decision victory.

"My next fight against Shogun is scheduled for May 1st, but there is a possibility to change," Machida said via Twitter. "If it does I'll let you know through here."

The speculation of Mayweather-Mosley fight has been fueled by the news that Andre Berto has withdrawn from his Jan. 30 welterweight title bout in Las Vegas against Mosley, citing the recent disaster in Haiti where some of his family members reside.

I see. Doesn't mean that Machida-Shogun is going to be on that date though. I watched Machida-Shogun I and it was 25 minutes of standing around, there was 1 exchange, and about 20 leg kicks by Shogun. That's all that happened in those 25 minutes. Hard to believe that a casual fan would want to watch that again just because there was a robbery the first time over Mayweather/Mosley. But we will see.

I agree, it was a ******ed ass fight. Plus, most people thought Shogun got robbed. Regardless, I think Floyd/Shane outdoes it no matter what.
