NEW YORK – Lyoto Machida has options. After brutalizing three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen at Friday’s Bellator 222, “The Dragon” could very well be in line for a title shot – but at which weight? At this moment in time, former competitors of Machida (26-8 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) hold both the 185-pound and 205-pound belts. Gegard Mousasi , the current Bellator middleweight champion, defeated Machida in the UFC in 2014 via five-round unanimous decision. Conversely, Bellator light heavyweight (and heavyweight) champion Ryan Bader was unsuccessful in his attempt to slay “The Dragon.” In their 2012 UFC on FOX 4 clash, Machida viciously knocked out Bader in the second round
