Randy Couture: This is a very interesting style matchup. If Rashad Evans can get his hands on Machida and implement his wrestling skills, he will win the fight, but that’s no easy task. I believe he has the ability to pull it off. Should be very interesting to see it unfold.

Din Thomas: How do you pick a winner in this fight? Neither guy has lost, so it’s hard to say how one could lose. My guess is, after five long rounds, they will defensively both be so dominant that they will cancel each other out. And [for] the first time in UFC history, nobody will win. It’ll be a draw.

Rick Roufus: I think Machida will win. I think his style will eventually force Rashad to initiate. I believe the only way for Rashad to win is to take him down and ground-and-pound him. Machida will counter and use his footwork to ensure that he fights his fight.

Ben Saunders: I predict a riot breaks out in round four, ending in a controversial no contest (laughs).
