Everyone seems to be picking Lyoto, but I'm not so sure. For one it's a 5 round fight, and I think Rashad can outwork him in the later rounds, secondly I think one of Lyoto's biggest strengths is his ring movement, and elusive style, but I think Rashad's speed will allow him to keep up with him.
Both of these guys are counter fighters so I think it's gonna be a fairly boring fight with someone winning a decision. Lyoto has looked unbeatable, never really losing a round so far in the UFC, but Rashad is looking better and better every fight, and coming from Greg Jackson's camp you know they will have a solid gameplan put together. If Rashad hits +150 or higher I will probably make a play on him.

but there is difference between proven black belts like Maia and those who have black belt but never really had a chance to show what they are capable of . There are few people who have black belt but their sub skills are questionable for that level ... I just don't believe his BJJ is great enough to really threaten Rashad if he really ends on his back but sure he should hang in there if it really happens , he isnt Houston Alexander or McFedries LOL
That being said I already placed my bet on Machida at - 180 and - 190 ...
