"I think any time that you're able to fight with someone for 25 minutes, I think the same way that 'Shogun' got to familiarize himself with my style, I've been able to familiarize myself with his style," Machida said. "I think that this fight is definitely going to be a much different fight because we're going to be a lot more familiar with each other's style. I think we're going to be a lot more comfortable [trying] to do what we want to do in there."
The winner of Saturday's main event could face the winner of UFC 114's main event between rivals and former champions Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans.
