Where to Watch UFC 123: Rampage vs Machida
If Nebraska and Texas A&M banging heads tonight doesn't satiate you, take a look for UFC 123 at 10pm on Saturday in the Palace at Auburn Hills. The card features BJ Penn and Matt Hughes facing off in a rubber match and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson going toe to toe in the Octagon. Both at 205 lbs, Machida is coming off a disappointing loss in his much anticipated rematch against Mauricio Rua, while Rampage is coming off a disappointing The A-Team performance, putting up only 49% on the Tomatometer (certified rotten.) BJ Penn is also coming off a poor showing against Frankie Edgar, against who he was heavily favored.
Tonight is a night for redemption. Can Penn or Machida bounce back from big losses? Can Jackson bounce back from a predictably disappointing 80’s action series vehicle? Also, Matt Hughes is a born again Christian, so you know…redemption.
