UFC 104 which features Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida defending his UFC Light Heavyweight Championship belt against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, USA on October 24, 2009.

Shogun will try to do what 15 other men failed to do, that is defeat The Dragon. This is Lyoto Machida’s first defense of the title he got from Rashad Evans at UFC 98 so Mauricio Rua will have to work harder this time.
