Quote :
A fight between Chael Sonnen and Lyoto Machida is all but a done deal.

Sources close to the situation tell Fighters Only that Sonnen will be making his UFC return at light-heavyweight and is almost certain to face the Brazilian former champion.

The fight is apparently being considered for UFC 136, which takes place on October 8th in Houston, Texas. No fights have been announced for that card but Jose Aldo and Kenny Florian are expected to headline.

Machida is a fighter that Sonnen has long had his eye on, and not just because he is a training partner and friend of Sonnen’s favourite smack-talk target Anderson Silva.

Sonnen made comments at the weekend about possibly fighting Machida when he returns to action, and has been taking potshots at him via Twitter (although that is nothing new).

The latest - “Of course your sport should be taken seriously. Everybody would like to be able to workout in their bathrobe” - is a dig at Machida’s background in Shotokan Karate.

He also slammed the recent spate of videos depicting Black House fighters training with Steven Segal. “I don't seek training advice from actors for the same reason I don't seek health advice from strippers.”

Today Machida told Brazilian website Tatame that he will sign for the fight immediately if Sonnen really wants it, but sources say that verbal agreements are already in place at this point.

More news as we get it.

Machida is a small LHW so it shouldn't be a problem size wise. I like this fight. It immediately puts Sonnen in place for another title shot if he wins and builds the feud even more.

On paper its a pretty bad matchup for Sonnen. But he also has a good chin and walks right out and gets in your face without being a punching target which could give Machida problems as well. It will be fascinating to watch for sure. Chael's wrestling chops are best of the best, elite in MMA right now while Machida's takedown defense and sumo background is fantastic

Machida has much better TDD than Anderson and this will help him in this fight. Sonnen will have cage rust and will hopefully be off the steroids which wont help his cause.

I don't know that Machida's takedown defense is going to be enough to consistently stuff Sonnen. He drives through that shot and is quick to duck under as well. Whether Chael can avoid being subbed or reversed from deep half guard is another concept entirely.
