Rua To Get Rematch With Machida

Well folks, it is official. Mauricio Rua, because of his controversial loss to Lyoto Machida, will get his requested rematch; the rematch will be part of a card which will take place on May 1, 2010 in Montreal, Canada; Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports confirmed the rematch via Tweeter via UFC president Dana White.

According to White:

“I’m ready to make this rematch as fast as we can. That’s me the fight fan, the business fan, whatever you want to call me. I want to see this fight again. The rematch will be a different fight from both guys. No one wants to lose and win a fight the way these guys did, it doesn’t feel good for anybody. So I guarantee you that the next fight is going to be much different. And I want to see it. I wanna see this fight again.”

    A AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UFC WHEN HE SAID THAT’s NOT GOOD FOR EVRYBODY BUT FOR HIS WORDS AGAINST THE DECISION A’M TOTALLY AGAINST IT. MACHIDA WAS REALLY SUPERIOR AND THE DECISION WAS FAIR AND AS A PRESIDENT OF UFC HE SHOULD KNOW THAT’s “AS REEL AS IT GETS” STILL TRUE. next rematche machida is going to show that he is really a dragon!

    a’m realy agree with mister dana white but interfering with a dicision and against an oppenent it’s not fair at all. machida was superior it’s just he wasn’t well prepared he became the champion and he became the target he must work much more and not doing show off.
