Pros Pick Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi
Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi are set to square off at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 36, in a Middleweight attraction. The fight holds significance as ‘The Dragon’ stands to earn a shot at the title with a win. ‘The Dreamcather’ may not be in line for a shot with a victory, but Machida would be a huge boost for his stock.
Mousasi’s promotional debut was a decision win over Alexander Gustafsson’s late replacement Ilir Latifi at UFC on Fuel back in April, 2013. Unbeaten since 2010 and widely considered as one of the best fighters outside the UFC since around 2008, a win over ‘The Dragon’ would probably and GM in a title eliminator bout.
