Say it with me folks... Welcome to the Machida Era. Lyoto Machida had no trouble beginning his run here in our tournament, taking out the #7 seed Glover Teixeira in a near shut-out. It was an impressive performance from The Dragon, but as we all know - that era can come to a sudden end at any moment.
Today, like The Undertaker climbing to the top rope, we go old school. It’s #3 seed and OG UFC LHW champion Frank Shamrock taking on Pride standout #6 Ricardo Arona (who is so old school he doesn’t even have a link in our fighter database).
