Lyoto Machida (pictured) could earn a shot at the middleweight title tonight by beating Gegard Mousasi at UFC Fight Night 36. Will that happen? If you were to ask the Gambling Gods … yes.
Machida is almost a 2.5-1 odds-on favorite to beat the former Strikeforce champion. Mousasi checks in as nearly a 2-1 underdog against “The Dragon.”
Arena Jaragua in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil hosts the festivities.
