UFC 113 Preview: Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley, Kimbo Slice vs. Matt “Meathead” Mitrione

Features, Top Story, Video

Recently, I sat down to speak with FoxSports about my thoughts on this Saturday’s UFC 113 card. In the main event of the evening, UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida will defend his title against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, whom he defeated in a controversial decision at UFC 104 last October. Will the rematch go the same way?

Also, we discuss Kimbo Slice vs. Matt “Meathead” Mitrione and Paul Daley vs. Josh Koscheck.
