Light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida will defend his crown against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the UFC 113 “Machida vs. Shogun 2” main event on May 8 at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The UFC on Thursday made the highly anticipated rematch official.
Machida defeated Rua in a controversial unanimous decision at UFC 104 in October. The Brazilians were projected to meet again at UFC 108 three months later, but a hand injury suffered by the champion forced a delay.
“The first fight between Machida and Shogun was very controversial,” UFC President Dana White said in a release. “I think fans are very excited to see them fight again and find out who the best light heavyweight in the world is.”
