The rematch fans have been demanding ever since the conclusion of UFC 104 may happen in May.
UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and challenger Maurico “Shogun” Rua (18-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) have agreed to revisit their October clash on May 1, according to Yahoo! Sports.
MMAjunkie.com has since confirmed with sources
close to the fight that both parties have verbally agreed to the
contest, which is slated for an as-yet-unannounced trip to Montreal.
