Mauricia Shogun Rua is the LHW Champion… Machida is the Challenger.. Hopefully this fight will make it official..
BTW.. Great video Bruno…
Shogun will KTFO of the challenger Machida!!!
Bruce Lee’s still #1
It’s amazing how no one’s took his crown even after all these years.
cant wait shogun bring home the gold
bruce lee wasnt just a movie star he was the real deal,he was the founder of jeed kundo ,i heard that he was challend for real fight almost every day when he was shooting a movie back in the days
Machida holds his title against the challenger, Shogun.
Hmm wonder how Bruce would fair in MMA…would they beable to catch him…the camera equipment of the day wasnt fast enough to see his movements he actually slow himself down so it could be seen on camera. He had no ground Game but would he have needed it ???
i really want shogun to win but its hard to argue against how machida is not going to be ready for shogun’s strategy but all in all im still a shogun supporter through and through i said shogun but decision last time and i’ll say shogun but decision time as well

you guys remember the cerrone n henderson rematch. its exactly whats going to happen to shogun. quick tko
@KieranMac – In a way, much of what you see in MMA today was created by Bruce Lee. His Jeet Kune Do, both the martial art and the philosophy, had all the principles that the best MMA artist today try to mimic. He mixed what really worked of each martial art, including judo and jiu-jitsu (so he did have a ground game, he just didn’t use it in his movies because the audience didn’t like it).
His main sources were Wushu, Karate, Chinese Boxing, jiu-Jitsu, English Boxing, and a few elements of Bushido, Aikido, and other Kung Fu styles.
His main idea was the fluidity and adaptability of mixed techniques applied specifically against an opponent, adapting to his strenghs and weaknesses.
You have to keep in mind that he did most of the ground work at a time nobody was thinking about it. If you compare him to today’s MMA champions, he wouldn’t fare that well just because sports technology and MMA training advanced millions of light years in the last 35 years, mostly because of his work.
But if you compare how much he accomplished in such a short life to any of today’s MMA fighters, he is unbeatable.
Please see the original cut of Game of Death to see Bruce’s ground game.
Machida knows to watch for the leg kicks this time, there”s nothing else shogun can do,he cant take Machida down,I look for Machida to take shogun down and pound him out!
bruce lee kicked ass and f***** whores all day
machida MACHIDA!!! WAR MACHIDA!!!!
Bruce Lee had ground work. Some people assume too much. Also Lee at his heaviest would be like 150 lbs. So maybe he’d be fighting @ 135 which would be awesome!!
I heard Shogun has a knee injury. NOT GOOD. Oh, and I’ve also heard Bruce wasn’t very good on the ground and didn’t like ground fighting. eh, he’s still one of the baddest mofo’s to ever walk the earth.
just imagen,bruce lee vs diego sanchez what a fight he guys,bruce lee taste his own blood and let the furry of the dragon loose that would be cool
holy shit shogun won by ko
bye bye machida
Oh NO! Just saw the headlines. Can’t believe Machida lost. And by KO at that!
Machida who??? You bandwagon bitches. Everyone’s favorite fighter now is Shogun. I liked Shogun since his Pride days. I hate seeing everyone jump on the wagon. F*** youuuuuu. Machida who???
shogun just knocked out machida!!! jusstice is served
Sho nuff
ok befor all you ass f*** start your shit talkin ill say this shogun will not and you can thake this shit to heart he will not hold that belt for long and the only reason he got that f***** belt is becuase lyoto foot fell from under him soo just keep all the shogun is a bad ass comments for ppl who really like his ass! and im done
OMG!!!
SHOGUN LHW CHAMPION
(MASSIVE sarcasm follows…)
Oh, wow! What a surprise! I would NEVER have seen that coming in a bazillion years! OMG… I am SOOOO blown away by that! I mean… just… GOLLY!!! How unexpected!!!
@ ‘ace’: sorry, but that was one of the dumbest rants I’ve heard on here in the 2 years of membership. Either you’re a child or have merely never heard of Shogun before. Either way please do your home work before coming to class next time.
bruce lee is number 1 no doubt….but he is already dead…..come on guys move on! MMA is much different “NOWadays” compared to the 90′s. Fighters today are much well diverse in different martial arts and collaborating it with science.
dam he put my boy to sleep!!! great fight tho! shogun deserves to be the champ, but my boy machida will learn from this and come back stronger. so im thinking anderson silva should go for the lhw title now, silva vs. shogun would be epic!
Cant believe they didn’t give Machida the decision…
who’s next a. silva, rampage, rashad, or griffin? bring on bones jones!
machidas first lost…i thought it will goes to the end, but shogun has waiting for the right moment.
jon jones can beat both of this guys…
i am a machida fan but at this time he was not so concentrated and shogun hurt him. respect for shogun….he has really good skills and if he works good on his cardio, he will beat rashad, rampage or the other guys. i think he has problems with wrestler…
holy fecal that was sheer pwnage!!! i thought the dragon would pull it off but i was wrong..congratz shogun and let’s see the spider move up to lhw now and get his ass shoved in.
F*** yeah!!! I knew Shogun had won this fight way before he got in, Lyoto knew that. He looked scared for the first time in the octagon. whoever that saw it live would agree. He didn’t look fully comfortable. Shogun scared the shit out of him with the 1st beating. Who ever said shogun won’t retain the belt are seriously stupid. I can’t believe Chuck was listed above Shogun as the best LHW a couple years back. Some of you should find Shoguns fights against lil nog, rampage or Alistair Overeem to know who Shogun is. The UFC finally has a real LHW champion! Chuck, Rampage, Forrest, and Rashad are nowhere near the top in real mma rankings.
To all those who write negative comments about Lyoto Machida:
- Machida’s only lose was last night against Shogun.
- Shogun has several loses includng a lose against guys such as Forest Griffin…
So, wake up and smell the coffee…it is not a proper analysis to forget Machida’s record.
@ace, I’m not even going to try to explain something to someone who is a complete retard, just stfu and never post here a again.
Anyways, I’m so happy Shogun won this one by a KO, he did a great job getting off the ground and finished the fight when he had the chance. You need to take the title away eh? HE SURE DID!
yeah!!! I knew Shogun had won this fight way before he got in, Lyoto knew that, he looked scared for the first time in the octagon. whoever that saw it live would agree Lyoto didn’t look comfortable.

I can’t believe Chuck was listed above Shogun as the best LHW a couple years back when chuck was fighting nobodies. Some of you should find Shoguns fights against lil Nog, Rampage, Arona or Alistair Overeem to know who Shogun is. The UFC finally has a real LHW champion! Rampage, Forrest, and Rashad will never be champions in the ufc as long as any of these two fighters are here.
Sorry for the double post, its pretty late here! Just had to say something to the Lyoto testicle kisser up there..
Back on Top!
Man…did you see Lyoto’s mountain-sized swollen eye? That’s brutal. Can’t take anything away from Shogun! …i’m starting to respect him alot more. well done.
hehhe f****** great ko by shogun (^_^)…..made my mother’s day better!
Lol @ the machida era.
and btw, happy mothers day to my mma fam!
Hey ace I have to agree with viking, your comment is border line retarded.
Your guy just lost two in a row to Shogun and to say his being ko’d is due to his foot falling out from under him is sad to say the least.
Many of us have been long time Shogun fans and I’m proud that I can say this result was so predictable it’s not funny.
Machida talked about being more aggressive and changing his style, he had lost already before the fight started. Machida has always fought one way, and if he had a chance it was if he didn’t change a thing.
I knew that Shogun understood his only mistake last fight was he didn’t headhunt enough. Well it happened two round sooner than I predicted but hey nice of Machida to play early and let the inevitable happen sooner.
I knew Shogun had this one in the bag! CongratZ Shogun!
Also I think You also see a little bit of Bruce’s grapping in, Enter the Dragon, Its actually very mma, they used kempo gloves for sparing which actually influenced the modern day mma glove. If you watch is documentary, there is a whole section on how he was working with the Idea of MMA and sparring long before it existed.
Bruce Lee’s #1 in the martial arts movie scene.
Not in MMA silly.
always has been the best lhw
The new Champ… Thanks Bruno
it is amazing how weak the stand up level is.It is like C-level kickboxing.Shogun is great at MMA but his stand up is so weak.I want Diabate to go to the UFC since it is essentially stand up.diabate had demolished ra at the stand up departement but he lost cos shogun is very good on the ground
Shogun beat machida(the untouchable) twice now.. and this time machida w’ont fool himself in thinking he won. Now Shogun vs Anderson Silva will be a huge fight.
Let’s all say goodbye to the “machida/karate” era…..it was good while it lasted….and as far as the patrick cote/alan belcher fight, was it just me or were you all thinking that he should take his fine ass to a modeling agency and leave mma alone? but i digress…congrats to shogun, styles makes fights, and i think he beats machida 9 times out of 10….
Shogun new deserved champion!!!
Lyoto didn´t have answers for his knees-kicks to the legs and his agressive stand up.
Shogun showed great sportmanship: as soon he realized Lyoto was in heaven, he didn´t hit him anymore, even before the referee came to stop the fight.
CONGRATULATIONS SHOGUN!!!!
All 3 judges score the bout…oh, wait
Thats was incredible, shogun is back… I prefer Lyoto, but this was not so bad, cause now anderson silva can fight shogun for the title, and that will be spetacular.
Man, that depressed the hell out of me. He’ll be back. Nice class by Shogun stopping when he knew Machida was out.
So now can we finally see Anderson Silva competing for the LHW belt?
@ace Machidas foot “Fell” from under him because Shogun hit him with an overhand right.. he caused Machidas knees to buckle.. AND HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE BELT LAST TIME! THIS IS JUST FURTHER PROOF OF THAT.. I SUGGEST YOU STOP HUGGING MACHIDAS NUTS AND ACCEPT THE REALITY THAT THE BEST MAN WON.. SHOGUN IS DESERVEDLY THE LHW CHAMP
heck yeah my boy shogun didnt leave it to the judges this time.
bout time, no offense to machida but he runs too much. war pride fighters!! and @ dan, ” bruce lee had no ground game” lmao how the F*** do u know, do u know he invented the mma glove. look at the beggining of enter the dragon where he took the guy down and finished him with a keylock!! yes it was hollywood but it showed he had the knowledge back when no one in america had even heard of anything remotely resembling bjj, anyway, props to shogun.
and now we can finally see the dream fight with anderson silva fighting for the 205 title, he wouldnt take the fight before because machida is his best friend.
I new shogun was going to win, Heck shogun won the first fight. Shogun will beat forrest if they fight again.
There was no way Machida won the first fight, justice is served.
I’m not even acknowledging the stupid argument on Bruce Lee. I love Lee but come on most of what we saw was “movies.” On to sumthing more pressing. Whose next on deck for Shogun??? What you guys think? The winner between Evans and Jackson?
And balance is restored…
The martial arts have zero to do with MMA. He was an actor.
would the wec need a 95 pound weight for bruce lee to fight. bruce lee is a MOVIE star. i also do not believe tobey mcguire is actually spiderman. jose aldo would destroy bruce lee in a fight. bruce lee’s fighting style was advanced for the time. but this is 35 years later. no jeet keen do practitioner can do jack shit in mma. cris “cyborg” santos would break bruce lee in half. unless it was in a movie.
by the way, great fight shogun. way to destroy the champ. respect.
Would love to have seen Bruce Lee Vs. Aldo…
-Matt is gay, said:
“Machida knows to watch for the leg kicks this time, thereâ€s nothing else shogun can do,he cant take Machida down,I look for Machida to take shogun down and pound him out!”
How stupid do you feel now?
And for thoose urine-drinking fans who actually didn´t see Shoguns superiour skills the first fight, now your ignorance has been confimed!
im mean machida tript with shogun legs and he executed thats it,if he (machida) duck and takle him(ala george sint pierre) when shogun come with his furry of fist could been a good stragety,but thats not machida style and he pays for it,good win for shogun ,there always remacht or revenge
Cyborg would have taken Bruce Lee’s lunch money!
Respect to Shogun. I thought he would have trouble with the transition from Pride to UFC (with no penalty kicks and stomps) but here we are!
he give shogun e really good knee hit before he went down ,how did he survive that knee hit, remind me when machida fought tito ortiz,when he give him a knee and he went down like a sack of potato
o mine bad now i see it right,he dint trip he got with waright hand on top
As I said, the first one to make a mistake is going down hard…
fffua is right, Machida looked scared and hesitated when he went in, Shogun had his timing and Bang!, lights out.
I hope Shogun will keep his consistency this time. It seems that Shogun has two modes: Pride (and now UFC) champion and that guy who lost to Forrest and almost lost to Coleman.
Blowgun got in a lucky shot he wont hold the belt for long!
(Narrator’s voice) As Thiago & Rashad smile with glee Rampage after dropping his bag of Lays potato chips grabs his gym bag and runs to his car. Chuck thinks….Hmmm retirement….Brandon thinks….Hmmm 185 master Lloyd?….Randy thinks….take down ground & pound…Forest….well Forest soils himself. Young Mr Jones looks in the yard & sees the big kids playing but uncle Greg says not yet Johnny. Joe Rogan thinks…Wtf what now Dana?!
Dana thinks…F*CK! that F*cking belt is being passed around like Jen*** J*****…
As the Shogun kisses his baby girl & prepares for the next challenger.
I think that machida should have drank more urine before this match.
o well, a man’s gotta lose someday
Wow! I knew this would be a dangerous rematch.
Bruce Lee had plenty of ground game. He actually highly regarded wrestlers because of their strength and ability. He only wished that they were more aggressive: bites, fish hooks, ripping fingers and etc. He wanted them to fight dirty because that is what you would do in real life if your life was in danger. He also said that the strongest guy would most often win. Look, Brock Lesnar may not be the most talented fighter, but he has high skill and doesn’t even use it because he is so strong. I know this about Bruce Lee because I read his books to find out what the man was really thinking.
yes, bruce lee is back in the day, and it’s just movies but give him credit for being one of the first, if not THE first, mixed martial artists. lee studied multiple martial arts, took what he thought was the best of each style and created his own martial art, jeet kune do. he was a pioneer for sure.
and glenn, i’m just going to assume you’re not from the states, canada, UK or any other country where english is not your first language.
called the result 2 seconds into the fight, Machida looked sloppy and scared… then he got punched in the face. maybe this will make anderson silva wake up from the coma that he was in last fight and actually make a move on the title
shogun v. spider
Maybe pouring piss into his eye will help the swelling too… Shogun is the real deal. Always has been. Dana was right, y’all were wrong.
Anderson vs. Shogun… yaaaaaaaaaa. Can’t wait to see that fight.
Any time Rogan says you landed a nice shot to the body, it’s a harbinger of doom.*
*See this fight, Liddell/Rampage (“Nice left hook to the bod–” !punch!)
Don’t leave it in the hands of the judges, and you’ll never be disappointed.
Madona. get your shit together. Rua beat Machida once. Everyone gets caught with a good punch. It’s important to note that Machida was whooping Rua’s ass until got that punch.
If you Machida haters think he sucks… you are simply… unintelligent. He’s whooped plenty asses. Everyone has to lose at some point. He finally did. Way to go, Shogun!
Now Anderson can fight for the title. He’ll make Rua cry.
shogun won the firt time so he deseve this time divine justice
Damn! My boy got ktfo! Great convo about Bruce Lee too. He’s kick ass!
Man, this is such a bitter sweet finish, as much as I like Shogun, I’m a huge fan of Machida. Part of me is glad he finally got his 1st loss so people will hop off the band-wagon. It’s funny I can already see from the posts that people are calling his scared to fight and running from his opponents again, just like before he was KOing people; when in reality this fight was going blow for blow with Machida getting the better hits in until he got caught.
I was sort of hoping the old elusive Machida would return, trying to bang with Shogun is a mistake that cost him big.
Have no doubt that there will be a Machida vs. Shogun 3, cause no one is going to beat Machida besides Shogun.

It’s all you guys’ fault. If you didn’t complain so much about him being boring he wouldn’t have been preparing for a “war.” He’s a f****** karate fighter. STOP COMING FORWARD MACHIDA!
Shogun is back. Now I want to see, Anderson Silvia vs Shogun
And Machida drops to 15-2…
Machida looked to be 2 steps slow this fight. I can see a huge difference from the last few fights to this fight. Could be that his hand was really bothering him and that it messed up his mind. Who knows. Shogun is a beast and won.
WOW, some of you people are talking out of your ass thinking you know a lot eh? Shogun did lost to Forrest with 2 injuries and a torn ACL I think or whatever his knee. He was not in shape, but did you know who Shogun was before he came into the UFC? Only the best LHW in the world and he would of eventually get back to the top if he was injury free. I guess people only heard of Shogun when they jumped on the UFC bandwagon. Saying shyt how he’ll lose to Rashad, Rampage, wrestlers, etc. GO TALK A LOOK at his record sheet and you’ll be impressed at some of the names you see on there. He has a lost to Coleman which should of been a NC because he tweak his arm before he fell, but who cares about record itself, just talk a look at the names he fought.
I feel kinda silly for drinking my own urine now…
No Machida is 17-1 now. I wanted Machida to win, but now Anderson has every reason to take 205 Belt. Go SILVA
Glenn when i read your posts iread your posts i imagine the voice of a retard for some reason.
Its not just me rite?
WAR SHOGUN!!!!!
And like some one said
PRIDE FIGHTERS FTW!!!
facepalm at my ironically retarded post
still i meant what i said.
sry 4 double post
Machida is a good fighter but Shogun has more experience against top fighters. I don’t think Machida was well rounded enough to hold the belt for a real long time. Silva won’t fight Shogun because Dana White would be too worried that Silva would win and then retire, which would make the UFC look like a joke. Silva isn’t going to get a shot at any other weight class’ title for a while.
@ace Are you kidding? Shogun pressed the action and hit Machida several times. Machida had 2 takedowns and a knee strike. That’s what you call dominating. Shogun kicked Machida’s ass. That 1st punch stunned Machida, but Shogun followed it up and beat the crap out of him. And as far as all of you talking about Bruce Lee, he would be almost 70 years old now, so it’s stupid to talk about how well he would’ve done in the UFC and you can’t tell how good his ground game was by watching a movie. Those scenes were set up and choreographed. It doesn’t matter how well he looked in a movie. What matters is if he was put in a rear naked choke by a modern day mma fighter in a real fight would he be able to get out. And as I said he would be turning 70 this year so it is impossible to know.
that was GAY
Yeah “Lucky punch” LOL. Go drink some cool aid, Machida got owned as many of us kept saying.
Let the excuses keep flowing it only shows how you can’t accept reality.
Shogun is the LHW champ and he without a doubt will remain so for a long time.
As many of you still don’t know Lyoto trained at Chute Boxe with Anderson Silva, Wandy and Shogun back in 2005.
Machida has known for a long time he can’t take Shogun, maybe some of you should wake up to that fact.
Shogun won and no question about it. The only thing that bothers us is that if The Dragon was fighting hurt. Machida didn’t look like the old Machida fighter. He looked overweight…in the sense that he didn’t carry his usual muscle mass. He looked heavy…fat heavy which is not good. He looked pretty slow than the usual Machida hit-and-run style. I hope that the third fight would show both of them at their very best so it would be fair. Thanks.
Anderson vs Rua will be good! I think Rau could out strike him and has better ground game! like to see Chuck fight anderson! I think it is a good match up for Chuck!
It’s crazy! Rua hits hard. He was getting beat up, then his first punch knocked machida down! Damn! He must hard. The only punches he landed were the finishing punches. WOW!
what a let down…i was expecting a long grueling fight. this fight didnt prove much, machida was winning the round before he got clipped. the factors that stuck out in my mind were machida was bulkier, i think he mustve done some power training (which i think may have not been the best strategy)…he seemed sluggish and actually a little winded before he was knocked out…but machida tends to look tired when he fights anyways. he flops his wrists and breathes with his mouth open. the other thing to think about would be if shogun wouldve been too aggressive in the opening rounds and gassed later. oh well, shogun showed once again that pride fighters were always the best, i hope a good recovery for machida and that he doesnt lose his confidence for future fights. now im excited to see some other matchups in the best division. shogun/silva, shogun/rampage, rampage/machida, ect ect.
winner of rashad vs rampage gets the next title shot, then most likely anderson silva, then machida again, unless silva gets the belt.. in which case i don’t know what machida is gonna do.. look for fedor?! haha
here comes machidas husband for revange ,,,
anderson silva vs shogun
pride babe !!!!!!!!!!!!
So once again it’s proven how f****** bad we need our MMA TKO forum back up and running
Bruno: I still have all the old forum info saved. I will put it back up in a few months when I legally can after my contracts up. You are currently at a post count of 629.
I would have given it to Machida. He had the better take downs.
Come on everyone! Are you still going to argue that MACHIDA was winning? SHOGUN KTFO’d him! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT???!!! DOES MACHIDAS BALLS REALLY SMELL THAT GOOD?? STOP NUTHUGGING AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT SHOGUN IS THE CHAMP! and A SILVA aint got shit on Shogun… but thats just an opinion.. should be a good fight though
omg can you say Shogun won people? KO KO KO vitory. What do you want to talk about? He had some take downs but did zero damage vs shogun’s guard. Pride fighters should get all the respect in the world. Alot of those guys were legitimately the best in the world but just wore each other out. You can’t take that many soccer kicks and stomps to the head when you’re down before it catches up with you. Shogun is great now but I think his recent injuries have slowed him greatly from his prime in Pride. UFC does have great LW and Welterweights fighters but Pride had most of the good big boys.
Shogun was beating Lyoto even before the ko sequence. He was pressing the action, landing some of the kicks and rocked Machida on a hand sequence on the fence that made “The Dragon” look for the take down. Once they got there, on both times, Machida didn’t do any damage and was on the verge of giving away the top position due to a sweep. In my eyes it was a complete blow out in Rua’s favor, but that doesn’t say, all of a sudden, Machida sucks. He has some good fights under his belt also and let’s not forget he was the heavy favorite in their first encounter, but in both fights, the once reckless shogun, made up strategies that took the former champ out of his game.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn
i wait for this moment so looong F*** machido shogun is a f****** machine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Machida is a great fighter, But i think rua is a tadd better.
I guess all that URINE sampling doesn’t really make you invincible.
Rogan needs to just stop doing commentary right away. Any time he says somebody has a “good shot” they get knocked out within seconds. And a lot of times, the exact opposite of what he says will happen will happen, like “He’s rocked!” and then the guy who he says is “rocked” ends up connecting with some great shots against the other guy within seconds.
if its true that the winner of rampage/rashad will fight shogun then i really hope rashad doesnt win. cause if lyoto ko’d rashad and shogun ko’d lyoto then what does that say about what shogun will to do to rashad. think rampage v shogun would make a better fight.
why does being a fan of a fighter make you a “nuthugger”? most stupid term used by the most stupid people i.e. tone.
Rua would not be denied. That was a great fight.
I’m a Rua fan now.
I agree about Rogan, too. He’s not smart enough to do objective commentary during a fight and he blows every move way out of proportion.
Emm…how does shogun’s piss taste mangina? I can’t even imagine how good shogun would be if never had any injuries…probably number 1 pound for pound. I knew you could do it shogun you my boy
Enjoy your win Blowgun,because Jon Jones is going to Smoke your Ass!
You know I went back and watched the fight over without audio and Machida ko’d Shogun, weird.
Ya what a lucky shot if Machida’s head wasn’t there when Rua threw the punch he might have missed.
You guys making excuses make me sick, your guy got owned twice!
Machida will never hold a belt again!
The only thing that impresses me about the three original Machida fans before he won the title is that they are the only ones that seem to understand what they saw, and they seem to be the only ones that admit defeat.
The thousands of bandwagon Machida dudes seem to want to live in denial, your boy can’t hang with Shogun that’s been proven without a doubt now.
my bad – i meant aside from rampage getting served by shogun in pride i think rampage would fight w/ more heart in a rematch w/ shogun as opposed to having rashad fight shogun.
Jon Jones are you guys kidding?
He is a raw talent and is nowhere near ready to take on Shogun.
You put Jones in with him any time soon and his psyche will be destroyed, give the kid a chance to grow before feeding to the lions.
Thank you Shogun, you’re my hero. The Machida Error is over.
niv, everyone has to grow sometime. look at rua’s career, he fought beasts from the very start. his 9th fight in he fought rampage and won. bones needs to fight the “a” level now, maybe not shogun but a top ten for sure.
Shogun! As I said earlier. Shogun is THE MAN
The only good or decent fight the ufc can offer to Shogun is A. Silva, most of us know what he’ll do to Rampage or Rashad. Maybe Thiago could give a better fight, they both have a similar style (aggressive, in your face, very powerful and with huge leg kicks)And it did seemed like Lyoto tried to bulk up a little but I don’t think strength was the answer here. Shoguns punch came from the waist just like the one Chuck ate for dinner.
I’m ashamed of my pupil Ryu. Ever since here scarred him, Sagat has been training like the demon Akuma, and has made his skills as sharp as a blade from Hatori Hanzo. Ryu just became too soft and didn’t focus hard enough. His Tiger Upper Cut just became too much for Ryu to handle.
@PitFighterZ: not sure why you addressed your comment to me, seeing as I hadn’t said a single thing in this thread until right now. Check sources pls
I want to see a rematch where Machida isn’t all concerned with DW thinking the fight is entertainig,that the other guy should have won the decision and that retards in the audience are complaining that he runs away. Machida or any smart fighter shouldn’t be preoccupied with that “never leave it in the hands of the judges” nonsense and “it is better to get ktfo and be entertaining than be boring and win” garbage. A decision loss ins’t really losing but getting put to sleep like this is! If Machida would have fought the way he usually does he would have been robbed of the decision even though he would have won on points like he did in the first fight but at least he would have gotten a rematch immediately. That is unlikely now. Dude needs to hang out with Floyd Mayweather to get his head right!

It’s crazy! Rua hits hard. He was getting beat up, then his first punch knocked machida down! Damn! He must hard. The only punches he landed were the finishing punches. WOW!
wat are you talking about??? shogun tagged machida multiple times you f****** blind retarded cuntfag
Machida looked better than Shogun this time, just got caught, it’s a fight, that’s how you lose, GG Shogun.
Shogun vs. Rampage again? I hope so!
machida fell down because he was also throwing a punch,
You guys make me embarrassed to be an MMA fan. I’m serious…this thread is filled with a bunch of Homers who either think Machida’s a total bum or he’s the best and simply lost because of a fluke. Here’s the truth: Lyoto’s still an amazing fighter, and this was the best 3 minutes in MMA I’ve seen in a long time. Shogun, however, is back to his old PRIDE form and has an uncanny ability to finish a fight once he smells blood. It’s not about who we like or don’t like, guys. These are two of the best in the world, and they put on a hell of a show. Good for Rua; he’s the champ, and deservedly so. Machida has no excuses, but I’d still like to see the rubber match.
And what’s up with all the Bruce Lee talk? Seriously, give your boners a rest…he was a movie star.
Shogun the Dragon Slayer, who’s ya masta, “SHOGUN”
all these ufc fighters should thank their lucky stars they have the BULLSHIT “unified rules” provided by dana white, marc ratner & co. to protect them when fighting Shogun. A real MMA/ValeTudo Master!
ufc is NOT MMA!
it’s a real waste of time & talent to see Shogun fighting in the ufc; half his arsenal has been deemed illegal by this god forsaken “unified rules” CRAP.
sad day for MMA when ufc bought out PrideFC.
