Machida at 185 would be And1's biggest challenge

[Liquidrob]

Of course it would never happen, but Machida is hurting his career by sticking to LHW, he could be an all timer at MW, LHWs can barely take him down, at 185 he would wreck pretty much anyone

Name someone at MW who can beat Machida? None of those guys

Only MW in Silva and Machidas league will be Rockhold

[EmpireWF]

Weidman > Rockhold.

[SHOGUN]

Weidman > Rockhold.

Probably, but Rockhold has the length to compete standing in Machida's Karate range. He matches up better against Machida than Weidman would.

I agree about Machida being a force at 185. I think he'll drop for sure after And1 retires.

[Liquidrob]

Weidman will have to get Luke to the ground to beat him, not an easy task, no young at 185 has the length and stand up skill that Luke has currently

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Vitor has the speed to.

At this point they should just swap weights and lets each other dominate the other weight class.

I think Anderson will vacate the belt at some point and drop to 170 to fight GSP then Machida will fight at 185
