The Brazilian Lyoto Machida won the right to challenge the champion Chris Weidman at UFC 173 after Vitor belfort give up the fight. But until the event, scheduled for May 24th, in Las Vegas, the atmosphere between the fighters, it seems, will be very respectful.
The first meeting after the duel was announced did not take place at a special UFC event, but at the Arnold Sports Festival, a fitness fair organized by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The fighters put aside the traditional staring and posed for photos in a friendly atmosphere.
“Look who I met at the Arnold fair! My next opponent,” wrote Lyoto on his Instagram page.
