Two months ago, on April 18, Lyoto Machida was forced to tap out to Luke Rockhold in the UFC on Fox 15 main event. Immediately following the loss, “The Dragon” wanted to return to the cage as soon as possible.
“It was devastating to lose that fight the way it happened. The only thing that crossed my mind was that I would like to be here and fight again. Now I have another chance,” Machida recently said in an interview with UFC.com.
On June 27, Machida returns to action against sixth-ranked Yoel Romero.
