Just few hours before the official weigh-ins for UFC 98, when Lyoto Machida will try to steal Rashad Evans title, the Brazilian is ready for the fight. While Machida rests for the weigh-ins at the hotel, TATAME.com spoke with his brother, Shinzo Machida, who’s confident on the brother’s victory. “He’s well, we’re ready. We’re confident for the fight, and the expectation is that we’ll put our game on. Rashad is a very strategist guy, but we’re ready”, guarantees Shinzo.

 

At the pre-UFC 98 press conference, that happened yesterday at Las Vegas, Lyoto and Rashad was for the first time face to face. “Lyoto is ready for a five rounds fight”, says Shinzo, who helped Lyoto on his preparation for the fight. “Lyoto will start studying Rashad on the beginning, because it’s a five rounds fight. He weighted this morning and he already made weight. He’s now resting, just waiting for the official weigh-in”, finished Shinzo, excited for tomorrow night’s main event.
