“The Dragon” should enter the win column tonight against Yoel Romero – at least if you were to trust the Gambling Gods.
It would be a much-needed victory since Lyoto Machida (pictured) has dropped two of his last three, including April’s lopsided submission defeat to Luke Rockhold.
Machida is nearly a 2-1 odds-on favorite to beat “Soldier of God” tonight at UFC Fight Night 70. Romero, meanwhile, checks in closely behind as a +155 underdog.
Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida serves as host. Fox Sports 1 broadcasts the main card live starting at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
