Lyoto Machida's brother, Chinzo, says he is confident that Lyoto will knock out Shogun Rua in their rematch.  Here's the interview with Tatame.

What do you expect from this rematch?

We can’t predict the fight itself, but Lyoto is more prepared than the other time, more focused on the fight, stronger. We changed the concentration on training, we don’t let a lot of people around him in training anymore, thing that had no reason to happen. We separated his training, making him more focused.

How do you think it’s gonna be this fight?

I believe in a knockout by Lyoto, that’s why we’re looking at.

If you've been following the hype leading up to the main-event of UFC 111, which pits lofty welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre versus the brash and fiery slugger Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy, you have probably heard that Hardy's chances are somewhere close to slim, none, or the accursed "puncher's chance".

Here is something to consider:  GSP has never faced a striker with Hardy's particular bundle of striking attributes.

If you have any faith in the adage "styles make fights", then please join me in placing St. Pierre's past opponents under a microscope to extract what unfamiliar challenges Hardy may provide.  Before I discuss a few areas where Hardy will present a certain threat that the champion either hasn't seen or doesn't see often, let's take a look at the commendable strikers GSP has faced throughout his career, and what pros and cons were at play.

Of course, Thiago Alves is the first that springs to mind, who is clearly the most proven of the bunch. Alves has won an impressive 10 of his 16 fights by TKO, which are numbers that demonstrate his capabilities in the stand-up category. When analyzing the method in which Alves has consistently implemented his prowess throughout his career, most of the stoppages have come by way of either knees (many of the flying variety) or a broad accumulation of strikes. Alves definitely has power in his hands, but not necessarily of the single-shot "lights out" magnitude.
