By signing with Bellator in June 2018, we reinvigorated Lyoto's The Dragon & # 39; Machida – the former UFC Light Heavyweight Brazilian Champion and UFC Middleweight Championship title challenger – who is fighting the Black House MMA and is fighting in this co-senior record with a 25-8-0 history record, on a series of three consecutive victories. His latest wins were a split decision over Rafeal Carvalho at Bellator 213, a win via "forehead kick to chin". only 1 minute in round 2 against none other than Vitor Belfort at UFC 224, and a decision win against Eryk Anders at FN UFC 125. Tapology.com ranked him 7th among the greatest MMA fighters of all the temperature. The Dragon has fought in the Brazilian sumo championships, has been twice champion of Brazil and is ranked second in the South American championship. According to Wiki, in addition to his achievements in sumo, karate and MMA, he also holds a university degree in physical education. He is a 75% favorite against Sonnen, with an opening odds of (-135) against Sonnen at (+115).
Meanwhile, his competitor Chael Sonnen enters the war with a longer professional record in 30-16-1, after losing his last fight against infamous Fedor Emelianenko via Ground & Pound at 4:46 of Round 1 of the great price of Bellator heavyweight. Previously, he beat Quinton Jackson and Wanderlei Silva at Bellator events in 2018 and 2017, both via Unanimous Decision. Sonnen fought against Team Quest Portland and was ranked by Tapology.com as the 26th largest MMA recorder of all time. Chael showed his work in the WEC and in Pancrase, and was challenged for both the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and the UFC Middleweight Championship. In 2010, although he relies on a choke and an armband, he was awarded the title of "Fight of the Year" by the World MMA Awards and the honors of the fight of the night for his fight. animated with Anderson Silva as part of the UFC Middleweight Championship.
As BIJ.com pointed out, this is a confrontation we have not seen yet, the two fighters have different fighting styles – Machida's karate style going against the fight and Boxing sluts Sonnen. Machida opens as the favorite bet, his advantage will be on the feet, however we have seen the Machida fight in the past once dropped to the ground. Sonnen could easily make a decision here, or get caught up in Machida's unique style as he tried a takedown.
Not to forget, the new main event of the evening will feature Rory MacDonald and Neiman Gracie.
