Bader vs Machida set for UFC on Fox 4.

[kaps]

The UFC announced former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida will battle Ryan Bader at “UFC on FOX 4.”

The organization is still trying to secure a venue to host the August 4th shindig, but the show is expected to take place somewhere in Southern California.

“The Dragon” was last seen unconscious on the Octagon canvas after getting choked out by reigning champ Jon Jones at UFC 140 in December.

Ryan Bader cruised to a unanimous decision victory over Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in his most recent foray to the cage.

Machida desperately needs a win. I don't think Bader will be able to figure out the mystery...

I'm surprised man, thought Lyoto would drop to 185 after the Bones fight, 'cos he got no chance of getting dat belt back again while Bones is about, n he's a greedy money grabbin little ****er still, asking for Anderson Silva money to fight Rashad on short notice last year...

Machida won't move to 185, as long as his best buddy Anderson is still the champion.

Anyways, I see Machida knocking the hell out of Bader after about 10 unsuccessful takedown attempts.

Yeah it probably depends on if Bones ever moves up to heavyweight, then Machida might have a shot at winning the belt back or maybe he waits until Silva retires, then moves down to middleweight.
