How many belts are there in light heavyweight? I think at least 3, it's not possible. DW said a few days ago that if Gustafsson wins in Stockholm he will have TS, now he says that the winner of Machida and Henderson will also have that chance, and he also wants Anderson Silva to fight Jones in NY for the belt … if you decide bald!!!!!
Lyoto wins for sure, he's going to do the same thing he did to Randy Couture to retire Hendersom, believe me!!
