I don't like to use this space to complain - but when there's an argument to be made and I feel strongly enough about it, I'll say something. What the hell am I talking about? Not long after Lyoto Machida won the LHW title from Rashad Evans, the pundits took to the Internets, waxing about how long his reign will last, and who will be the one to dethrone him.
To which I say, who cares? Just enjoy the moment (unless, of course, you can't stand the guy), live in the now, dammit! Hug his nuts a little.
He may string together a number of title defenses, he might lose it the next time he fights. That's why I love this sport - you truly never know what can happen on any given night. I'm fine with predicting fights, everybody does that. But the dude just won the title and hasn't even made one defense yet. It's a bit premature to try to say how long his reign will last.
The only thing I know is that he won the title, it looks like Quinton "Rampage" Jackson gets the next crack at him, and it may not be until after the two serve as coaches on the next The Ultimate Fighter.That's it.
