The UFC has confirmed ten fights for UFC 104 (October 24th, Los Angeles), making the Machida vs. Rua headliner official, as well as adding a main card bout between Sean Sherk and Gleison Tibau. Sherk is coming off a disappointing unanimous decision loss against Frank Edgar at UFC 98, while Tibau most recently lost a controversial split-decision against Melvin Guillard at the TUF 9 finale in June.
Unfortunately, Sherk vs. Tibau comes at the expense of two other fights that are probably more worthy of main card status. Currently slated for the undercard are TUF 8 light-heavyweight winner Ryan Bader vs. Eric Schafer (who are both riding two-fight win streaks in the Octagon) and Yushin Okami vs. Chael Sonnen. Yes, Okami is on the undercard once again, despite his current three-fight streak against Jason MacDonald, Evan Tanner, and Dean Lister. My God this disrespect. You know, UFC, if you’re not careful, you’re gonna lose him.
The updated UFC 104 lineup is as follows…
MAIN CARD
Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio Rua (for light-heavyweight championship)
Sean Sherk vs. Gleison Tibau (LW)
Joe Stevenson vs. Spencer Fisher (LW)
Anthony Johnson vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida (WW)
Ben Rothwell vs. Cain Velasquez (HW; expected for the main card, but not yet confirmed by the UFC)
PRELIMINARY CARD
Antoni Hardonk vs. Pat Barry (HW)
Yushin Okami vs. Chael Sonnen (MW)
Jorge Rivera vs. Rob Kimmons (MW)
Ryan Bader vs. Eric Schafer (LHW)
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Razak Al-Hassan (LHW)
Stefan Struve vs. Chase Gormley (HW)

I actually like a multi-dimensional fight, I like it when it goes to the ground, I actually love watching Maia. But, a KO is even better. I don't go and hope for a KO though, unless it's two good strikers. Go fuck yourself.
@Kadumel
I don't give a shit if you don't think Machida's style is boring. "This is MMA son" OH REALLY!?!? GODDAMN I THOUGHT IT WAS BOXING THE WHOLE TIME!!
You guys are fucking morons for thinking that all I want to see is two dudes stand and bang. Get your heads out of your asses and stop assuming stupid shit.
The fact of the matter: four of his seven fights have gone to the judges. I've watched all of those fights and came to the conclusion that he didn't start to become entertaining until the last two.
Fuck "The Machida Era"; he hasn't even defended his belt yet. He's a good fighter, but I'm not hopping on his bandwagon of douchebags and old faggots like the rest of you.
Dude I logged into just to agree with everyone else telling you how fucking dumb you are. This is MMA son if you want to watch two dudes only punch each other then go watch boxing. I have never thought Machida was boring to me his style of fighting is interesting to watch. So what he doesnt stand there and get punched in the face. Would you?
Knocked out the LHW champ and took his belt. Destroyed Silva. Wrecked Tito. Smashed "Terry Soak A Jew". Finally finishes two fights huh. Everyone is just givin him his props. You will too Bovice......you will *swinging pocket watch back and forth*
Figures you'd have a name like that, you're probably the same type of douche who cried about anderson after leites and cote and then jumped back on the suck his balls wagon after his fight with forrest.
Okami needs to get his shot at Silva after this fight. Will he beat Silva.. most likely not.. but he deserves his shot. At least he will go toe to toe with him. He's done it once... and he'll do it again.
@agentsmith.. get off the junk and clean up your act son.
Yall know what the fuck I meant!!!
The matchmaking on this card is epic, and if you don't realize it, I won't waste my time trying to explain.
Sucks, I hope they both win, but they won't.
Bad, bad, bad matchups for both of them. I'm guessing that's not an accident.
Dude, you're trippin. This is an awesome card. I can't wait to see which undercard fights make it on the ppv.
