shogun better step it up this time or he'll get robbed again, this time machida knows exactly what he'll do. shogun won the first fight but he wasn't aggressive enough, he needs to stop machida to get the belt, i don't think he can do it the second time either

yeah, well be seeing a different machida this time.

I see a Shogun stoppage as far more likely, based on the last fight. Machida has made his money as a defensive fighter. Against Shogun, his striking was nullified to a pretty decent extent. Were he to become overly aggressive, he may well leave himself open to the attacks of Shogun.

Shogun outstruck Machida once so I don't really see all that much Machida can do to change the situation this time around. I think Shogun should get the best of the standup this time as well.
