Today in news from the world of possibly crazy, UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida tells ESPN—or, actually, Sherdog—that if he defends his title five times, he’d like to move up in the world… to heavyweight. Specifically, to face  heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

"My focus is on my class, but in the future I would like to do a couple of [heavyweight] fights, like Brock Lesnar," Machida said. "I respect Brock Lesnar as a fighter, but I know I can fight with him. Brock Lesnar is a big challenge for me because he's a big guy, very strong, very fast. For me, I like the challenge."

“Lesnar-Machida, if it ever happens,” says ESPN/Sherdog’s Jake Rossen “could represent the largest-scale style-versus-style match in the sport's history. There's probably no way Lesnar could tag Machida standing, but I would have a hard time imagining Machida could get out from underneath Lesnar. That's not a character flaw: He couldn't out-grapple a Kodiak bear, either, but I don't hold it against him.”

Regardless of how the matchup would take shape, the whole thing would be more than a little fantastic—so, as if I wasn’t already, I’m going to have a pretty damn difficult time cheering against Machida as he continues his defence of the light heavyweight title.
