If Chris Weidman and Lyoto Machida win their next fights, there's a chance that these two will meet up in Octagon and fight for the title. This would give Machida a chance to join the illustrious class of individuals who have won UFC titles in two weight categories (Randy Couture, BJ Penn).
This is a fight that favors Machida because he is very hard to take down and his striking is tremendous. Machida is the king of counter attacks, and Weidman is not a fighter to play it safe. While Phil Davis was able to take Machida down, he has made adjustments that will allow him to help him against Weidman.
Based on the odds, there's a good chance these two will meet in 2014 and Machida will emerge as the new UFC middleweight champion in 2014.
