And that's why they gave him a title shot so quick =P. But yeah of course an organization would want to make the money, but so far they're putting on great fights for us to see.
I can't wait until he fights Shane Carwin, someone who is about his size/weight, and also a wrestler with excellent hands.

I'm hoping carwin can take lesnar... He's done well and all I just really can't stand the guy. I'll be pulling for machida when he fights shogun. Anderson silva mentioned moving up a weight class a while back, have yall heard that? Silva vs machida would be one hell of a fight...

Fedor was my favorite fighter for a long time but I've lost a little faith in him since he turned down danas offer a while back

Machida would tear him apart. Not for the reasons you might think (younger, bigger), but because Silva's done. He's winding his career down and is ready to stop working so hard all the time. He's got many great fights in him still, but I don't think he has the drive to fight all the time for years to come.

Of course this is all speculation on reading things and limited information presented by the media.

I don't know if Anderson/Machida would be a very exciting fight. They are both defensive fighters. And we have already seen what happens when Anderson fights someone who does not attack. Not very interesting.
