From Tatame.com:
At UFC 89, two unbeatable fighters will colide on the duel that will put one of them to meet a loss for the first time. With 13 win in a perfect card, Thiago Silva won 11 by knockout, and that's why Lyoto Machida predicts a fast fight against him at UFC 88. "I believe this fight won't go to decision... Thiago likes to fight aggressively, me too, he has good MMA techniques, so I believe this fight might finish before the third round", said Lyoto, that is training hard. "I'm training a lot, actually I hadn't stop training since my last fight. Now I'm doing a specifically training focused on Thiago, preparing my strategies and working on the physical preparation... I'm very focused", said the athlete to TATAME.com.

Ted's Take: Man, I am psyched for this one. Both these guys are undefeated, tough, Brazilian fighters, with very different styles. Both are great on the ground, and Thiago is an agressive muay Thai striker, while Lyoto prefers to be, as many have said, "elusive," making his opponents miss and then counterstriking. I'm thinking whoever wins this one gets a title shot, probably after Chuck Liddell.
