If the UFC gave Machida his retirement fight, who should it be against ?

[Escabar]

Anderson, always wanted to see those two fight.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Seeing Lyoto fight in ONE or maybe Rizin for his send off to retirement would be much better. The UFC couldn’t care any less about these things.

 

[SpedDaddyV]

The Chris

 

[Willek]

Wonderboy at Middleweight?

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Fuck it, Nick Diaz.

On a serious note, Bruno Silva? He can either defuse the guy, or he'll get knocked into fuckin next week and will retire off that.

 

[legcramp]

Sean Strickland so Machida can showcase his skills without fear of getting KO'd by Sean's pillowfists.

 

[nonoob]

Out of respect, pick somebody competitive who won't murder him.
Smilin' Sam may be appropriate?

 

[MikeyB]

Tito Ortiz.

Because watching Tito getting beat up is fun.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

WB at WW

 

[DapperDave]

If I want it to be a guaranteed win by no-show? Pereira at MW.

Interesting? Wonderboy at MW.

Absurd? Penn at whatever.

Harmful? Bader at LW.

Insulting? Jones.

Oily? Cheal.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Paulo Costa

 

[Clark Rogers]

Something winnable with some history, and favorable style matchup if it's a proper farewell.

UFC standard farewell, they'd instead feed him to someone like Bo Nickal.

 

[DougieJones]

BJ Penn. rematch of the century

Lol are you serious?!?!?!?







Penn can't make MW these days!!
