In a way I am looking forward to this fight, but in a way I'm not either. It is Memorial Day weekend, so many people will be out celebrating, BBQ'ng and stuff.

In one corner you have Evans, a person who many thoought and think is a showboat king. All flash and no substance. But then he got a head kick KO that made everybody take a second look at him and say hmmm maybe he has some skill after all.

Then he fought Tito Ortiz, a guy who was a dominant force in the UFC for years to a draw. Not only did he fight him to a draw, he was able to take him down at will.

He went on to beat Bisping, KO Chuck Lidell and beat the UFC golden boy Forrest Griffin for the title. Impressive streak really.

In the other corner you have Machida. A person whose fighting style of Karate is really quite boring to watch. It is effective because he suffers no to little damage in his fights. However because of it, the fans don't really care to watch him either.

He beat a couple of well known names, including Tito Ortiz. Now will this fight be a big draw ? Probably not. Sure they both undefeated, but neither of them have that I've been destroying dudes in my division resume.

Overall it will be a decent fight to watch. Clash of styles. You have a wrestler who like to bang in Evans and a non aggressive fighter who don't like to bang or engage in Machida.
