It appears the UFC is ready to return to the Montreal in May of 2010.
According to The Canadian Press, light-heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida will take on Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in a rematch of the main event of UFC 104.
Machida escaped their first meeting with a victory, but the result was questioned by many, including the majority of the crowd in attendance, who booed the judge's unanimous decision in favour of Machida. Many UFC fighters sitting ringside also voiced their belief that Shogun had done enough to earn the decision and the light-heavyweight title.
Due to the controversial ending and the evenly-matched nature of the bout, both fighters have agreed to enter the octagon against each other once again.
May of 2010 seems to be a longgggg time from now. Hopefully both fighters come in healthy and prepared to bring another slugfest. Rua still got ROBBED!
