Quoteworthy:
“I don’t think about fight at heavyweight division, but I think about a challenge, maybe against the heavyweight champion, but it’s time for it now. My focus, for sure, is on my division now, later is later. Maybe a fight against Brock Lesnar. He’s a huge guy, showed himself very aggressive and strong, who knows if one day we can fight… I respect him as a fighter, he’s very strong, but I’m professional and I’d like to test myself.”
– Undefeated light heavyweight Lyoto Machida talks about life outside of his division and a possible fight against UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. Hopefully this fantasy doesn’t cloud his focus on May 23 — “The Dragon” has a very tall order in front of him: defeat reigning 205-pound champion “Sugar” Rashad Evans at UFC 98. A victory over Evans will likely set up a fight between the Brazilian and former 205-pound kingpin Quinton “Rampage” Jackson after a rumored stint on TUF 10 (http://mmamania.com/2009/05/14/tuf-10-coaches-likely-to-be-quinton-rampage-jackson-and-rashad-evanslyoto-machida-winner/), putting any kind of Lesnar “test” on the shelf…for now.
