- "He's not next in line," White said. "He'll fight another fight."
"When I make a fight, I don't say a word until both bout agreements are signed and the deal is done," White said. "I did exactly what it is that I never do. We were in this position, that big media call was the next day, and I wanted to have some answers. So I went out there and Machida was in the freaking jungle somewhere. (His manager), Ed (Soares), told me he's in the jungle and can't get ahold of him. I said, 'What do you think?' He said, 'I think he's going to take the fight. I don't see why he wouldn't.' So I went with it, and it didn't work out.
"This is a guy who had been terrorizing me for a title shot and he said the four weeks wasn't enough. I said 'OK' and I moved on. ... When you turn down an opportunity to fight, things start going in another path, in another direction." http://mmajunkie.com/news/30506/lyoto-machida-and-chris-weidman-unlikely-to-get-immediate-ufc-title-shots.mma |

| Hendo should be next anyways. Maybe Vitor will be ready to fight by December after he knocks out JJ. | |

I'd like to see Hendo vs. Shad in Dec and have Machida face either Glover or Gusta next IF they win their fights. |

I don't think Hendo is keen on Machida he didn't show much interest a while back when Dan was offered him. IMO he is more likely to win that fight then the Rashad fight. I don't want to see Rashad do the same kind of shit he did in the Rampage fight. | |

| Shad vs. Shogun would be nice but that's not likely to happen until spring next year unless Gusta gets injured and Shad replaces him. |

And not as interesting at the time. for me anyway. It's lost some of it's luster but with Shogun's power and Shad's vulnerability it's still an exciting fight to make. |
