Final Card For UFC 104: “Machida vs. Shogun” Revealed

The next UFC pay-per-view pits undefeated Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida against acclaimed fighter Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in an anticipated main event. Once considered the best 205 pound fighter in the world, Rua fell from grace with a loss to Forrest Griffin and an uninspired performance against Mark Coleman. He brought himself back to the top with a dominant knockout victory over Chuck Liddell, but is he ready for the man who most recently put Thiago Silva and Rashad Evans to sleep?

The card also features Cain Velasquez, one of the most hyped heavyweight fighters in the world, fighting a debuting Ben Rothwell and a battle between Joe Stevenson and Spencer Fisher.
