Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

But one of the stories that hasn't received a lot of attention is that of the comeback trail. Lyoto Machida, Rory MacDonald, Ivan Menjivar, and Jason MacDonald all came up big when it mattered the most... with their backs against the wall.

Rashad Evans didn't have a clue what he was up against when he stepped into the cage against challenger Lyoto Machida at UFC 98. In every interview in the lead-up to the title showdown, Evans was confident, indicating that he would expose Machida to the world and prove his championship status.
