Lyoto Machida eyes Jon Jones rematch, wants Hendo next

"I don’t agree, but it’s his personal opinion, we gotta respect. But I don’t agree. I believe there are athletes who can defeat him. I guess being well trained is possible, I believe in my work and, within time, I guess I’ll have another opportunity. My next step is not Jon Jones, I’m not thinking about it. I’m much more worried about my next fight.

I’m waiting UFC’s suggestion. I guess in April or May, but in case it doesn’t happen I’ll suggest Dan Henderson, who’s a good guy. I know he’s on the line for the belt, but if this fight against Jon Jones doesn’t happen, I’d like to fight him. He’s a legend in the sport, a champion in many events, like Rings, Pride, Strikeforce… I’d like to test my technique against his." - For complete interview with Lyoto Machida, visit Tatame.com

machida really did nothing but land one punch in his title shot and didnt look as impressive as he usually does and i dont know he if he can beat hendo either

He won the 1st rd Sab clearly. Everybody has said that he won that rd.

one punch won him a round?, u can clearly tell that both of them were uncomfortable in that first round then jones got his bearings and dominated the second round and the same would happen again, and after shads performance against davis i dont think shad has a chance if the fight goes past three rounds

lol sab hop off jones nuts god i cant stand jon bones yea the guy is good, maybe even great but NO1 has tested him he has never been rocked or hurt when tht time comes we will see what kind of fighter bones is and yes machida clearly won the first and for some reason in the second he came at jon with a flurry not like machida if u ask me shoulda kept stickin and movin

never been tested he has faced 3 former champions in his last 3 fights how can u say he has not been tested, shogun, rampage, machida, and now he is facing his fourth former champion, these are all test every single fight is a test and he is passing them with flying colors, and btw machida always does flurries thats how he kod shad thats how he almost kod rampage thats his style is very patient then he strikes like a viper

yea well he strck at the worst time jones defended nearly every punch and dropped him on his back and your not getting what im saying yes he has faced the elite and destroyed them no doubt but he has yet to have some one hit him flush and rock him no 1 can get close enough and when someone does we will see jon jones colors. does he pull a lesnar drop to his back and huddle in the fetal position idk thats what i mean when i say no1 has tested him a test to me is facing adversity (ala chael v silva) he jus rolls over everyone he fights

i dont think he will be tested at lhw only at hw i think he will be tested at

machida wpn rd 1 and hendo vs machida should be an ok fight but who knows

sabby lol still nuthanging, JBJ lost 1st round easy

yes i know he won the first round dumbass im not saying he didnt but he didnt look comfortable in that round do u think he is gonna do any better

machida was comfortable as hell, it was clear as day. hendo will ktfo of JBJ, he'll eat JBJ pillow punches and give him a h-bomb.

dude hendo only has one way to win a fight, jbj has multiple and im a huge hendo fan i love that dude but i dont see him winning its the same god damn conversation over and over again the only guy i think can beat jbj is rampage well jbj dominated him, the only guy that has a chance is machida, he took a nap, the only guy that has a shot is evans and after his last performance well that was not his best but come the 21st of april he better be ready because jones will be
