Lyoto Machida Ready To Make His Octagon Return, Eager To Have The UFC 205 Pound Title Around His Waist Again

The former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto ‘The Dragon’ Machida seems to have put his first defeat to the side  and return to the cage to do what he loves best.  His manager Ed Soares comments on ‘The Dragon’ and tells us how he’s ready to fight any opponent that is handed to him.  Machida’s goal is to continue fighting the best and is confident that the 205-pound title will be around his waist again sometime in the near future.

From Lyoto Machida’s manager Ed Soares:

“He told me now he feels like a complete fighter. He knows what it’s like to win, he knows what it’s like to be a champion, and now he knows what it’s like to lose. He feels like a complete fighter, and I know without a doubt he’s going to come back a better fighter, and it’s just a matter of time before he has that belt around his waist again…. He’s out here training, we’re ready to go right now. He’s ready to fight whoever, he wants to fight the best too …  he’ll fight whoever. When the UFC is ready, they’ll give us that shot. We’d love to fight him right now, but whoever the UFC gives us is fine.”

Jake Shields: “I’m Brand New To The UFC But They Have Treated Me Better Than Strikeforce”

The former Strikeforce middleweight champion and possible future UFC fighter Jake Shields talks about how comfortable he feels with the North American MMA organization.  He pretty much bashes Strikeforce in different ways and tells us how he would like his Cesar Gracie teammates, Gilbert Melendez and Nick Diaz, to follow his foot steps toward the UFC.

From Jake Shields:

“I’m brand new to the UFC but they have treated me absolutely wonderful much better than Strikeforce to this point. They return my phone calls and I get seats unlike Strikeforce but so far things have been absolutely perfect. I don’t want to knock Strikeforce because that’s not my style even though they did treat me like shit which was unnecessary because I never talked bad about them. Honestly I would love to see Gilbert and Nick in the UFC. Even though Strikeforce is a good show, everyone knows it’s the number two show. They have a handful of good fighters but all the top competition is in the UFC and I feel that Nick and Gilbert are good enough to fight at the highest level. I just don’t see Strikeforce putting the marketing strength behind him as they didn’t for me. I feel like they (Strikeforce) want to go after the places that have already been built like Shamrock or Cung Le. They don’t seem really interested in building top young fighters in their prime. They had a great batch of young fighters like me, Nick, Gil and King Mo but they weren’t interested in great young fighters and instead all the push went to ‘has beens’ like Shamrock and Cung Le. It seemed like they wanted to push people who were no where near their prime.”
