Lyoto Machida Hopes a Win Over Phil Davis at UFC 163 Finally Earns Him a Title Shot

BAD MMA News — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 05:13:22 +0000

Former UFC light heavyweight titleholder Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida is the highest ranked 205-pound fighter on the UFC roster behind champion Jon Jones . He was defeated by Jones at UFC 140 by submission and hasn’t yet been able to work his way back to a title fight. When a knee injury forced Dan Henderson out of the UFC 151 title fight with Jones, Machida was given the opportunity to step in as Henderson’s replacement, but declined, citing a lack of proper time to prepare. When he faced Henderson at UFC 157, the match-up was billed as a top contender’s bout, but, although Machida defeated Henderson, Alexander Gustafsson will face Jones at UFC 165 in September, instead. Machida takes on top-ten ranked Phil Davis at UFC 163 on Saturday and hopes to show he’s ready for a rematch with Jones. “I was a bit frustrated because it was the second time that I get this opportunity and I wasn’t given the opportunity to go for the title bout, so this Saturday I would like to gratify that I am, in fact, ready to go after the title,” said Machida during the UFC 163 pre-fight press conference in Brazil on Thursday.

Georges St-Pierre Doesn’t Want to Fight Anderson Silva, “That’s a Fact,” Says Dana White

BAD MMA News — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 02:07:30 +0000

Talk of a superfight between UFC welterweight titleholder Georges St-Pierre and middleweight champion Anderson Silva has swirled for years, but according to UFC president Dana White , St-Pierre doesn’t want the fight. “Georges St-Pierre would not even think about this fight because Anderson Silva isn’t going to win (against Chris Weidman ), according to Georges St-Pierre,” said White following the UFC 162 pre-fight press conference on Thursday. But there’s more to the story. When asked if he sensed St-Pierre doesn’t want the fight, White said, “There’s no doubt about it. That’s a fact.” “St-Pierre had his chance to pronounce himself about fighting me and he didn’t do it,” said Silva on a recent media conference call. White doesn’t hold it against St-Pierre for not wanting to go up a weight class to challenge Silva. “At the end of the day he weighs 170 pounds. He’s a 170-pounder. If he weighed 185 pounds and felt that way I’d be real pissed,” said White. “I’m the man here at 170. If I thought I was the man at 185 I’d be at 185. I get it, but it’s a fight that a lot of fans want to see. It’s a big fight. It’s a legacy fight. It’s a fight for the pound-for-pound best in the world.” While White gets it, he still doesn’t completely understand St-Pierre’s unwillingness to fight Silva. “What’s crazy to me is GSP opted to take a very dangerous fight at 170 without trying to take a dangerous fight at 185,” he said. St-Pierre instead faces Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 on Nov.
