#4 Machida vs. Mousasi headlines UFC Fight Night 36

 vs. 

#4 Lyoto Machida                            Gegard Mousasi

Machida last fought #8 Mark Munoz winning by knockout in his middleweight debut. Mousasi hasn't fought at middleweight since his knockout win over #6 'Jacare' Souza in 2008. The fight takes place February 15, 2014 with the winner most likely fighting for the middleweight title later this year.

#7 Machida vs. Mousasi added to UFC Fight Night 35

#7 Lyoto Machida will welcome Gegard Mousasi back to the MW division. Just last month Machida made his MW debut knocking out #9 Mark Munoz in the first round. Now Machida gets a step up in competition in Mousasi who was ranked as high as #3 at MW with his memorable knockout win over #5 'Jacare' Souza. Now the both rather small LH's will now meet at MW and add even more depth to the weight class. The fight is scheduled to take place February 8th in Brazil. This fight wll most likely serve as the main event.

Natal replaces Machida, meets #10 Kennedy at UFC Fight Night 31

After losing Lyoto Machida as an opponent for UFC's third 'Fight for the Troops' card. #10 Tim Kennedy went haywire calling people out. Rafael Natal replied on Twitter and now we get Natal vs. Kennedy. Now Natal was scheduled to meet Ed Herman at UFC 167 which now puts Herman at a limbo. But Herman is still expected to fight at UFC 167. Natal is coming off a recent win over Tor Troeng while Kennedy is also coming off a win over Roger Gracie.

#6 Bisping injured, #8 Munoz now faces Machida in Manchester

Looks like the UFC Fight Night 30 main event gets repackaged in a big way with Machida vs. #8 Munoz. #6 Michael Bisping was forced out of his fight against Mark Munoz with an eye injury. Lyoto Machida will now step in for Bisping. Machida was originally supposed to make his MW debut opposite #10 Tim Kennedy. It is unknown who will replace Machida to fight Kennedy or if anyone will at the moment.

UFC Light Heavyweight Title Picture 2013 Update #1

Current Champion: Jon Jones

LH Landscape

Lyoto Machida:

After getting the wrong end of a controversial decision to Davis at UFC 163 Machida looks to drop down to 185 pounds. At this point Machida just wants the quickest route to a title fight. Now that Anderson Silva is no longer champion he might want to have a go with middleweight champion Chris Weidman (should he retain his belt in December). Machida is already scheduled to meet Top 15 middleweight Tim Kennedy on November 6th in Brazil. That's a step in the right direction.

Rashad Evans:

Evans recently snapped a 2-fight losing streak defeating Henderson by split decision. So, a title shot isn't in the immediate horizon for Evans at the moment. Evans instead will be fighting Sonnen at UFC 167 in Las Vegas. I expect Jones to fight Gustafsson and Teixeira before accepting rematches. So while Jones fights off fresh challengers Evans must keep winning in the mean time.

Dan Henderson:

Henderson was scheduled to face Jones at UFC 151 for the LH title but a knee injury forced him out of the fight. Upon returning he opted to stay active instead of continuing to wait for his title shot. By doing so he lost two razor close split decisions to the 2 men ranked above him; Machida and Evans. With back to back losses and at age 43 it's not looking good for Henderson title hopes. Hopefully for him he could turn things around in his rematch with Belfort.

Alexander Gustafsson:

After Jones refused to give Machida a rematch and Machida opted to stay active, Gustafsson gets his wish; a shot at the title. The two will meet on September 21st at UFC 165. 

Chael Sonnen:

I don't see Sonnen getting another title shot anytime soon. Sonnen was Jones' easiest title defense of them all and most recent one as well. So the one sided beatdown is still fresh in our minds, even with Sonnen's recent win over 'Shogun'. 

'Shogun' Rua:
Mauricio 'Shogun' is on the verge of losing his spot in the top 10. He either needs to regain his form that won him the LH title or fall further down the ladder. By no means will 'Shogun' get a title shot anytime soon but a win over Te Huna this December is a step in the right direction.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira:
Might I say this is the dark horse of the LH division? I think so. Since losing to Davis, Nogueira dominated Tito Ortiz, which avenges his loss to Bader, then upset Evans, which avenges his loss to Davis. Upon returning from his back injury, with proper matchmaking Nogueira could be close to title contention. In the mean time he's flying under the radar.

Phil Davis:
Officially Davis has earned the biggest win of his career, but unofficially most of the mma community thinks he lost to Machida. As a result of this controversial win he's not on the UFC's list of  possible title challengers  just yet.

Glover Teixeira:
Following his win over Bader, Teixeira was promised the next title shot by the UFC. Now nothing means anything until the cage door shuts, but with no other fresh challenger on a winning streak like him and Gustafsson currently have, who else is left?

Ryan Bader:
If Bader ever wants a title shot he's gonna to have to not just get better, but evolve because what he brings to the table has hit a glass ceiling and its not going to be enough to pick up crucial wins like the Machida and Teixeira fights. It'll be enough to beat Brilz and Matyushenko but there's a reason why those guys aren't in the UFC anymore. So if Bader wants a title shot he needs to pick up some signature wins, in order to do that he needs to evolve plain and simple.

UFC on Fox 8 Johnson vs. Moraga Predictions and Betting lines

My Main Card Predictions & Bets:

#1 Johnson -470 vs. NR* Moraga +370

I'm picking Johnson because of his speed and ability to transition from position to position. Moraga is a credible opponent but he doesn't present anything Johnson hasn't seen. I think Johnson will cruise to a decision victory the way he normally does.

My bet: 47$ to win 10$ on Demetrious Johnson & 21.50$ to win 10$ on the fight going over 4 1/2 rounds

#6 Ellenberger +190 vs. #9 MacDonald -240

I'm picking MacDonald because everytime he fights you see a clear improvement to his game as if the MacDonald that fought BJ Penn wasn't scary enough. Ellenberger is dangerous too but generally only in the first round while MacDonald will be dangerous for all three rounds. I got MacDonald winning two out of the three rounds.

My bet: 24$ to win 10$ on MacDonald

#10 Lawler -290 vs. NR* Voelker +230

I'm picking Lawler because his opponent will be over matched and he took this fight on short notice being a full time student and a full time construction worker. Only God knows how he found time to train for Lawler. Lawler's had his opponent changed three times but they were all strikers so he didn't have to change much of his game plan and plus he did get his full training camp in so I got him winning by TKO in the later rounds.

My bet: 29$ to win 10$ on Lawler & 17.50$ to win 10$ on the fight going over 1 1/2 rounds

DR* Carmouche -600 vs. DR* Andrade +425

I'm picking Carmouche for the purpose of giving you my prediction but I'm not placing any bets because the line is too high. Carmouche is by far the better striker and I would say the better wrestler too but she is very submission prone and that's what Andrade's good at which is why you can't completely count her out. That being said Carmouche should defeat Andrade but if you're a betting person tread cautiously on Carmouche.

My bet: pass

My under card bets only:

28$ to win 10$ on Masvidal

21$ to win 10$ on Masvidal vs. Chiesa to go over 1 1/2 rounds

22.50$ to win 10$ on Castillo

20.50$ to win 10$ on Castillo vs. Means to go over 2 1/2 rounds

13.50$ to win 10$ on Cruickshank

18.50$ to win 10$ on Cruickshank vs. Edwards to go over 2 1/2 rounds

24.50$ to win 10$ on Albert

I am passing on:

Guillard vs. Danzig, Herman vs. Smith, Kedzie vs. de Randamie & Riley vs. Salas
