After watching UFC 94, I have a new found respect for Lyoto Machida.  Lyoto came out and pushed the action.  He took Thiago Silva out of his game plan.  Machida is going to be a tough contender to beat.  I’d love to see Machida fight Rashad Evans for the title. Machida showed he has an arsenal that we continue to experience with each fight.  I guess we have to wait and see the outcome of the Rampage Jackson versus Keith Jardine fight.  The Dragon has finally arrived.     

Not the fight fans wanted to see

GSP versus BJ Penn did not live up to the hype.  The first round both fighters pushed the action and tested each other.  I thought first round was pretty even.  Then something happened in rounds two, three, and four.  BJ stopped fighting.  BJ was not in the fight.  I’m not sure what occurred, but this was not the same fighter from previous fights.  Several articles have been written that BJ quit. I disagree.  He didn’t quit.  Hopefully, BJ will come out and address the fans and negative press.
