After a narrow decision victory over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 104, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida's abilities finally were being challenged. Despite a dominant run through the light-heavyweight division, it appeared The Dragon might have met his match. Fans eagerly anticipated a rematch, and this weekend, UFC president Dana White is giving them just that. If you're not Montreal-bound for the big rematch, catch all the action and other exciting matchups — including Josh Koscheck against Paul Daley and Kimbo Slice versus Matt Mitrione — at local sports bars and casinos.
