Who watched? Those leg kicks were crazy!

Congrats to Machida on the win! hahahaha

 

Rigged.

 

Can't wait for the rematch

 

missed this one no budget..

 

those kicks were devastating!! crippling! all shogun had to do was finish it but i was surprised at both their "efforts" or "lack there of" near the end of the 5th...shouldn't leave it to the judges

 

Machida couldn't kick very well after being kicked in the knees and ribs so many times lol

He was already noticeably limping by the 2nd round

 

Dana wants an imediate rematch. I felt like Shogun won the last 2 rounds for sure. I'll re watch it. I was slightly surprised that rothwell got beat the way he did.

 

Well the final score was 48-47 so the refs had Machida win 3 out of the 5 rounds.

Cain Velasquez is no joke...

 

That he is. You dont go undefeated purely by luck.

 

except if your machida.

 

so just because of this one fight u think Machida's won all of his previous fights (including winning every single round in every single fight) by luck? ooookkkkkkkkk

 

The judges "unanimous decision" was pretty outrageous, although Machida to remain champ is no surprise. A "challenger" trying to win via points (leg kicks) is not going to give you any edge on the judges score card. Machida with his momentary spurts and successful take down defense was enough to bring this fight to a draw, in my opinion. I was disappointed at Shoguns lack of aggressiveness, Joe Rogan keeps talking about the Shogun of PrideFC but the intensity is not there ever since he stepped into the UFC. If you want to win by leg kicks you better knock him down at least.... Sorta' like what Brandon Vera will do to Randy Coture on the next event.

 

+100

machida is a *****

 

god that was horrible scoring. all the MMA forums and blogs went a little crazy. i think ESPN had to change their outcome on their site (don't quote me on this, just heard from a buddy). I didn't catch it live but i DLed it and watched it. I thought shogun had at least 4rds. i hate machida's style. but i do give in to the fact that he is quick, and he does know how to get points.

on another note, 1st fight of the night on PPV, anyone know yoshiyuki yoshida's intro song? can't find it anywhere.

 

No, I was talking about this last fight. Machida got lucky to still be undefeated. I really like him and expected him to win, but that fight belonged to Shogun. oooookkkkkkkkkk......
