Who would win: Silva vs Machida

With Silva's disposal of former light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin, talks of facing Lyoto Machida next. Dana has said that if Machida becomes the next best and logical opponent for Sila, he'd make the match. Silva came back saying that they are like brothers and that match would never happen.

But let's say it did, who would win in the battle of counter-punchers?

Silva has won ten straight fights, I can't even think of a fight that got out of the third round. He has looked pretty much unstoppable.

Sliva isn't as great as people say he is...Lyto would win this one.

Technically Machida has won 15 straight because his record id 15-0 (though I think he only has 6 or 7 in the UFC).

His fight prior to Forrest was Thales Leites which went the distance.
