That’s an idea floated by Luke Rockhold , who was asked on the JAXXON PODCAST episode released Monday if he was going to fight Anderson Silva in Karate Combat. His answer is sure to raise some eyebrows. “Yeah, Anderson Silva , ( Michael Bisping ) and Lyoto Machida all in one night,” Rockhold said. Come again? You mean like a grand prix?

There was plenty of debate about the entire list from top to bottom, and perhaps an even larger conversation about who was the most deserving fighter to not make the cut. Our first five out of the top 30 were all former champions: Charles Oliveira , Michael Bisping , Mark Coleman , Lyoto Machida , and Cris Cyborg

The former UFC champion is hoping to get one more fight before walking away from MMA. Machida (26-12 MMA), who was most recently fighting under the Bellator banner, is no longer with the promotion and now sits as a free agent, MMA Junkie confirmed on Friday. The 44-year-old ideally would like to get one more fight in before putting an end to his illustrious career. “Yes, I would like to fight at least one more time, who knows can be the farewell or something like that,” Machida told MMA Junkie at Friday’s UFC 287 legends Q&A with Georges St-Pierre, Vitor Belfort and Chris Weidman. Machida was last seen in May 2022 at Bellator 281 where he suffered a first-round knockout loss to Fabian Edwards
