Take a look at Machida’s face and access the damage. Then take a look at Shogun’s face and access the damage. I think Shogun looks more damaged. This was a technical, good fight. Just because Machida got a little slowed down from some good kicks that made Machida back up a little. Shogun could not take Machida down one time, and he tried. Machida had some good flurrys and backed Shogun too. Just because some spoiled people always want to see a knockout does not mean a close fight was not a great fight. Machida is so humble, that he now feels he let the fans down because he did not close the battle with a knockout. I bet no other 205er can go 5 rounds with Shogun.
Give it up–Machida is still on top.

Rainbow you are out of your mind. Just because you back someone up with a flurry, doesnt mean you caused damage. Shogun connected with far more damaging kicks than MAchida connected with damaging ANYTHING. Shogun also pressed the action more than Machida for the entire fight. Even the president of the UFC believes that Shogun won the fight. It was a bad call.

LC Says, in 10-26-2009 at 09:48:35 from 24.247.159.172

It was a close fight. Could have went either way. I am really hoping for a rematch. These two are clearly the best 205ers by a long shot. I could see this being another Randy vs. Chuck style trilogy in the making.

123 Says, in 10-26-2009 at 09:57:42 from 173.81.165.16

Damage means nothing. If you want to talk about damage, Machida could barely walk after the fight. I bet Shogun could have went 4 or 5 more rounds, but there is no way Machida could last another round. Shogun broke Machida, next time Shogun will be more aggressive and the out come will be Shogun raising his hand in victory.

Burned1981 Says, in 10-26-2009 at 11:04:51 from 67.165.186.203

All I can say is… I can’t wait for the rematch!!!

theetompster Says, in 10-26-2009 at 11:51:29 from 174.3.102.36

Shogun looked to have great cardio. Machida was looking pretty dead and round 5 but Shogun looked quite fresh. Funny that this is the guy who gassed against Coleman.

Shogun controlled the cage and pushed the pace of the fight. His gameplan made Machidas gameplan obsolete and useless. Shogun won this fight and pretty much the whole world believes he won minus three judges and some internet trolls. Machida can’t even answer the question of “do you think you won the fight?”. He just uses the judges as a scapegoat.

ashame Says, in 10-26-2009 at 12:04:26 from 99.133.181.84

ive heard people blame shoguns corner saying that they were wrong for saying he was winning (in his corner). If they had rushed him to stalk machida or be more aggressive he could have played into machidas very dangerous counter striking game. SHogun could not overexert himself he stuck to a very disciplined strategy and won (not officially).

jeremyemilio Says, in 10-26-2009 at 12:13:43 from 142.167.36.98

All of this ‘close fight’ talk is nonsense. Was it a mismatch? Of course not. But it was an EASY fight to call for anyone with their eyes open and a grade three level grasp of counting. Fightmetric has the stats. Look at strikes landed:

Round One: 19/11 Shogun (head shots, 2/1 Shogun; power head shots, 2/1 Shogun)

Round Two: 21/7 Shogun (head shots, 2/1 Machida; power head shots 2/0 Machida)

Round Three: 19/15 Shogun (head shots, 9/6 Machida; power head shots 5/5 draw)

Round Four: 10/3 Shogun (head shots, 1/1 draw; power head shots 1/0 Shogun)

Round Five: 13/6 Shogun (head shots, 7/1 Shogun; power head shots 4/0 Shogun)

Total: 82/42 Shogun (head shots, 17/14 Shogun; power head shots, 12/8 Shogun)

If you’re using the 10 point must system to scoring rounds, then, by total shots Shogun wins 50/45; just counting head shots it’s a 48/48 draw; just counting power head shots it’s 49/47 Shogun).

The only metric that Machida wins is body shots, and even that he takes by only 3 rounds to 2 with a 24/16 edge in strikes landed, compared to Shogun’s all out assault with the leg attacks, which he dominated for all 5 rounds, out striking Machida 49/4.

Sorry, but 82/42 is NOT a close fight, especially if the guy who lands the 82 is also the guy who lands more head shots and power shots. How do a few extra body shots all of a sudden balance out a dominant performance in leg attacks and a solid edge in strikes to the head?

And don’t even get me started on the ‘well Machida did more damage in the first three rounds’ garbage. If that’s true, why did Shogun control rounds 4 and 5 so easily? Did Machida gas out? Nope. He was just more beat up coming into round 4. How’d that happen? Did his corner men beat him up between rounds? Nope. Shogun beat him up somewhere between the starting bell and the end of round 3. Logic dictates that for Machida to be the more beat up fighter going into round 4, Shogun had to do more damage (aka WIN) in at least 1 of the first 3 rounds. Simply put, not a difficult decision to make; regardless of how you slice it, Shogun won that fight.

Q.E.D.

Darren Says, in 10-26-2009 at 12:25:50 from 70.178.147.197

Machida is a dang good fighter but shogun won the fight period. Shogun should whip the judges butt… If the fight would have went another round shogun would of clearly been the winner.

JJ Says, in 10-26-2009 at 12:59:06 from 83.233.210.177

A close fight? LC, just by saying so you show how little you know aboat the sport. You will probably not understand the facts or scoring, but that sais it all – that Shogun won that bout in every aspect (exept for knees to the body).

You should feel stupid now, but if you did, you wouldn´t have made stat statement. So keep on thinking that it was a close fight, and be happy.

mmalove Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:01:26 from 129.8.84.83

who wants to see a rematch of a guy running in circles *literally* and another chasing him down?? Maybe if the octagon was made smaller in size? Good strikes by SHOGUN, he clearly won by Strikes! JUST LOOK AT MACHIDA’S FACE!!

mmalove Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:02:39 from 129.8.84.83

Machida didn’t even think he won!

sooooopernate Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:05:25 from 98.246.136.89

Alright man this fight broke my spirits. Watching Machida dominate sokodju, ortiz, thiago silva, stephan bonnar, bj penn (at diff weights), rich franklin, and rashad evans among others, I became a HUGE Machida fan. He appeared to be a champ among champs. Then he fought Shogun… what the hell? How did he do soooo poorly? Shogun almost lost against Coleman! I guess he stopped being hungry or something. I really think he lost three rounds to two, but I can see how the judges would’ve gone the other way. Rounds 1 2 and 3 were pretty even, and Shogun dominated 4 and 5. Judges must’ve erred in the champs favor for rounds 1 2 and 3.

Shogun Assasin Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:12:24 from 90.208.131.205

MAURICIO SHOGUN RUA IS THE UFC LHW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. To all you Machida nuthuggers the riddle has been solved and played. Machida and his family say that thay are samurai’s, if they had any honour they would admit defeat and should commit HARI KIRRI! But they are Bogus warriors. SHOGUN IS “THE LAST SAMURAI” ALL YOU MACHIDA FANS WHO NEVER GAVE SHOGUN A CHANCE ARE NOW REALISING THAT Machida is a fake warrior and Shogun is only 27 and not even in his prime yet.So all you Machida cock suckers can now celebrate by drinking your first piss of the morning! YUCK!!!!!!

nmpld1985 Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:32:06 from 98.238.140.82

its just really sad that the sports is taking the road of boxing, anyone who watched the fight clearly seen that Shogun was the better fighter that night, im just really upset at these judges; they get paid to do this and they cant even get their job right. Maybe someone bought the judges decision if you ask me.

baller Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:33:02 from 69.211.59.221

rambow u must be blind. shogun won hands down.

Three Squeaks Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:33:58 from 68.193.138.9

Everyone with half a brain knows Shogun won this fight by a mile in every way. Strikes landed, aggression, damage, overall impression, you name it.

I hope Shogun knocks him out the second time. If Shogun loses the rematch it’ll be a pity.

And don’t give me that “you gotta beat the champ to be the champ” bullshit. That’s just an idiotic rhyme that doesn’t mean shit. It didn’t mean shit when Rampage fought Forrest, and it didn’t mean shit when Hopkins fought Taylor. Shogun beat Lyoto just as much if not more than Forrest beat Rampage.

Cecil Peoples Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:37:44 from 68.193.138.9

Machida won the fight easily. If any of you knew anything about unbiased mixed martial arts scoring then you would know that if anything, people should be upset that Machida did not get a 49-46 or 49-45 nod. He had Shogun on the verge of being TKOd in the third and could easily have taken that round 10-8.

Drummo Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:40:11 from 216.253.117.61

it was rigged

Samiam Says, in 10-26-2009 at 15:14:47 from 68.224.124.196

LOL at saying look at their faces and compare them to each other. Tell me who’s legs you would rather walk on after that fight??????

rock Says, in 10-26-2009 at 15:15:05 from 71.189.105.13

We all know Shogun won the fight. One way to know is to see who the UFC fans like now. These band wagers go for any fighter who wins. I almost felt off of my chair when I heard band wagers booing Machida and cheering Shogun. No one gave Shogun a chance at beating Machida and after he beat him they are all fans of his (ufc fans). They should be like me I’ve liked Shogun since he was in Pride.

Drewington Says, in 10-26-2009 at 15:16:30 from 70.160.131.3

wow i’m so sick of everyone crying “shogun won.” complaining about it isn’t going to change the decision it just makes you seem annoying when most of you probably aren’t. I understand that you feel like your fighter got robbed but it’s not gonna help complaining just hope for better in the future and get over it.

bearlythere Says, in 10-26-2009 at 15:19:42 from 96.49.203.229

yes, rigged.
i agree.
not much else to say.

oh ya, SHOGUN IS THE CHAMP!

natedog Says, in 10-26-2009 at 15:54:21 from 219.89.244.184

Rampage was the best bit

had_to_say_it Says, in 10-26-2009 at 15:54:24 from 24.238.154.144

It’s funny listening to how people try to make it seem that Machida could’ve actually won that fight and it was close. It was close? It was close!??… Yeah right, the only thing that was close was Machida’s trainer icing his thighs face foward with his legs basically straddling his shoulders after round 1! LOL

tooch911 Says, in 10-26-2009 at 16:32:54 from 67.243.166.243

none of you guys have any idea what your talkin about just cause shogun landed more strikes doesnt mean he won the fight for example the kness to the body machida kept catching shogun with are worth more than gay little leg kicks, everytime shogun tried takin machida down and failed points go to machida, and for the guy who posted the punch stats why did you leave out the landed-missed ratio cause shoguns percentage was way less than machida’s he was making him miss alot. im not saying the fight wasnt close but watch it again carefully from a neutral prospective and youll understand why it was a UNANIMOUS decision, everyone saw it the same way and the only reason why dana’s saying he thought shogun won is to promote the rematch. and he even says right after that “i had machida winning in the 3rd round and then the 4th and 5th to shogun” but then went back to say that the 1st round could have went either way and machida deffinitely won the 1st round

pwner Says, in 10-26-2009 at 16:34:57 from 98.221.159.46

MACHIDA WON (OFICIALLY), now that being said WTF is all the arguing gonna do for you? It can;t & won’t change shit.. NOW STFU. nuff said all you whiney biatches..Tampax Tampons anyone??

Greatwhite Says, in 10-26-2009 at 16:36:09 from 76.77.91.10

SHOGUN was robbed.

machete Says, in 10-26-2009 at 16:41:42 from 24.205.146.95

The problem is that it was a close fight that’s why the judges have to give it to Machida, Shogun didn’t win “decisively” you don’t want to become the champion that way, imo Shogun should have been way more aggresive, he was being more careful than Machida…and he had nothing to lose, he still young thou maybe he can take it in the rematch.

rainbow brite are you blind??? if u pulled your nose out of machidas ass you would clearly see shogun dominated this fight

wow Says, in 10-26-2009 at 17:01:25 from 216.119.215.193

Even Rounds go to the champ almost always unless the challenger is Forrest Griffin.

123 to Machida, 45 to Shogun,

Machida wins…

How is this so hard to understand for people?

If you score the fight as a whole like in japan, Shogun wins, but reality is… They weren’t in Japan, get over it.

guy Says, in 10-26-2009 at 17:35:12 from 76.95.7.174

umm shogun won on my scorecard 3 rounds to 2. i had him win rounds 1 4 and 5, however in my opinion i wouldnt give him the win simply because to dethrown a champion it has to be more convincing than that. any of you out there who have participated in any sport that is similar to mma should know in a fight this important dont leave it up to the judges. you have to TAKE the belt not ask for it.

JohnClayBurchett Says, in 10-26-2009 at 17:37:52 from 74.142.218.36

“”Cecil Peoples Says, in 10-26-2009 at 14:37:44 from 68.193.138.9

I wonder if this is actually Cecil Peoples. If so, I always hate your fucking judging. You’re always the judge that gives someone a 30-27 victory when it could NEVER have gone that way…and yes your expertise is “judging” or whatever, but you need to talk to some people man. Shogun won…I’ve watched the fight 3 times to try and reconsider, scored it myself, and all 3 times Shogun won. Arguable that he won 3 rounds to 2, but I say 4 rounds to 1. And to say that because Machida threw a flurry that landed 1 clean shot, should get a 10-8 round….and if you watch the replay the CLEANEST shot of the flurry was Shogun’s counter right hand at the end that staggered Machida into a clinch. Bunch of silliness.

Suck it Cecil

hulkstie Says, in 10-26-2009 at 17:50:26 from 75.152.157.231

Machida will destroy Shogun in a rematch, I call Shogun gets KOed for sure. Machida needed a tough fight to wake him up, I feel sorry for Shogun because he should have taken the decision and now he has woken the Dragon.

imhungry Says, in 10-26-2009 at 17:57:20 from 70.45.175.153

Shogun definately won that fight, but at least Machida is more than willing to set up a rematch ASAP. Maybe what happend to A. Silva will happen to Machida. Machida wins in unconvincing fashion and then comes back with a huge win…then again Shogun might just chop his legs clean off in the next fight.

It would be funny if Shogun actually would chop Machida’s legs off in the next fight and then have the judges STILL give the win to Machida…hilarious.

TheBlairSmithPr Says, in 10-26-2009 at 18:01:33 from 124.148.82.68

Bat Mite Says, in 10-26-2009 at 18:17:13 from 24.136.65.212

Gee, I wonder why Rampage would rather do a movie than fight in the ufc? HMMMMmmmmmmm…..
This is why monopolies usually aren’t a good idea…..unless you’re an owner (somewhere dana white is laughing his ass off).

Too bad Machida lacks the sac/sportsmanship/integrity/character/honor to call b.s. on such an obvious work. Where’s his father/grand-master teacher in all of this? Oh yeah, he’s in his corner, counting his money.

“The DRAGON?” BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

“The DRAGON!”

the Fist Says, in 10-26-2009 at 18:23:42 from 76.219.147.146

just lazy Saturday night fans, too lazy to watch the fight again. Machida won, take the time, and watch it… not that great of a fight, but hey, at least it wasn’t as bad as some of Spider Silva’s fights… and no lay and pray!

PuNcH Says, in 10-26-2009 at 18:27:12 from 86.24.124.131

I agree that shogun won the fight but i am glad i am not as upset – angry – obsessed about it as some of you guys plus the rest of the hardcore internet community

its kind of funny how much it gets to you lot

ETK Says, in 10-26-2009 at 18:37:57 from 76.90.11.148

Shogun got hurt with a counter left knee in the 1st while he shot in for Machida’s legs.
Interesting how they quickly switched cameras as if they tried to avoid showing Shogun wincing and agonizing as he grabbed Machida’s legs and hung on. Why didn’t they replay it, it’s great highlight. It looked to me like he must have screamed out loud similar to the way Shane Mosely screamed when he was hit to the body by Vernon Forrest.
And Machida hit Shogun with that knee a few times.
The 1 single leg kick that changed the fight was the counter inside low kick which Shogun landed on Machida in round 3. Which had a lingering effect on Machida for the rest of the fight.
Rogain’s commentary was deceitful and manipulative. Many times Shogun and Machida landed simultaneously kicks but Rogain said “devastating kick by Shogun”. Many times Machida barely eluded Shogun’s kick just to have Rogain said “another kick by Shogun”, “Shogun is finding a home for that kick”.
The only rigging in this fight was in order to get more money from fans.
I could not decide a winner. I’d have to say draw. Therefore Machida keeps his belt.

LarryKBrga Says, in 10-26-2009 at 18:45:22 from 200.67.75.56

Machida was a fu*in chiken runnin all the fight, and shogun did it great, he got robed, Shogun was far agresive, and land hardest punches, while machida just was waiting for a mistake that never happen, JUDGES “FU*ING AS**OLES”, machida you must to show some respect and ask for apologies to shogun for what the judges did.

rainbow Says, in 10-26-2009 at 19:05:53 from 24.130.179.36

If Shogun won then give him the belt, and throw all the Judges that were their in jail, all you smart answering people,
Call a person that congratulates the winner, a
nuthugger ? You guys that call the decision loser Shogun your main squeeze are kind of making me sick. Seems you got a thing for him or something.

sancho Says, in 10-26-2009 at 19:22:42 from 74.60.97.107

Alexandro Says, in 10-26-2009 at 19:33:08 from 67.230.149.107

I just watched it for the second time. It was a pretty good fight. Machida came out with his usual style but Shogun was very prepared for it. He had great timing with his kicks which made Machida hesitate to do his usual leap forward to strike. Shogun was also great at “chasing down” Machida and catching him with some kicks as he retreated. Machida also had some powerful knees to the body and punch combination. It seemed the Shogun was stunned and in real danger at the end of round 3.

I had the first and third round to be for Machida for sure and the fourth and fifth to Shogun. The second round was close. Going by rounds I give it to Machida. However, by overall damage, shogun devastated him with those leg/body kicks.

I’m a Machida fan but I’m glad there is someone that can challenge him like this. I have a feeling it will be very good for him. Can’t wait for the rematch.

TioChel Says, in 10-26-2009 at 20:07:30 from 201.53.157.3

They tied up. Period.

The belt should be standing by for the real winner. Noone won that night.

wolf55 Says, in 10-26-2009 at 20:52:01 from 68.5.95.237

The fact of the matter is Shogun did not win, Period. Blame whoever you want to and what you saw, but thats just how its going to be. So get over it, next fight please

Aussi MMA Says, in 10-26-2009 at 21:13:43 from 165.86.81.20

Man, How great is this sport! This decision has brought out the best in the wonderful fans of MMA. It’s awesome to hear such passion from obviously knowledgable people when discussing the result of the Machida v Shogun fight. Keep it up guys, this is all healthy debate and exhibits how discerning the average MMA fan is. Our passion will continue to grow this sport. That’s right, we are an integral part of the continued growth of MMA. The longer/louder we talk about it, the more people get interested.
Ps. I had it going to Shogun, 4 rounds to 1.

Thats hilarious. Shogun won, nuff said.

bobbo Says, in 10-26-2009 at 22:30:01 from 24.156.30.63

Lots of opinions. Bottom line it was too close to call. Definately too close of a fight for Shogun to take Machida’s title away.

I think alot of people lean towards Shogun because of the commentary. Rogan definately praised Shogun and was biased towards Shogun. Goldberg folled suit. Another reason is people have never even seen anyone ever actually hit Machida before, thus thinking Shogun deserved more just because of that. Bottom line is …yes the real Shogun is back and yes these are 2 of the best out there at 205. we are lucky as fans to get to see these phenomianlly talented and conditioned athletes compete at the highest level. my opinon of both of these fighters has gone up alot. I can’t wait for the rematch.

mma master Says, in 10-26-2009 at 22:39:52 from 75.83.123.252

man if i was a mma fighter. i will run around the ring and just throw little kicks all night and i will be a champion. lol j/k ok to be a champion you must beat the best of the best. don’t leave it up to the judges. because they will do what is best for the company not for you shogun. why do you think chuck, is good when guys was chasing him around the ring, when he was the champion. they have to knock him out, but now without with the belt, he has to take more chances and in return he get knock out. hmmmmmm it’s good to be the champion.

bazz Says, in 10-27-2009 at 00:38:51 from 189.216.125.199

lol even in machida´s face you can se his surprise he never thought be de winner. the fact is that machida won. But a bigger fact is that he disapoint everyone fan or not

pheelixx Says, in 10-27-2009 at 00:44:20 from 75.183.27.209

well my O is this I would have assumed shogun would get the D but cecil peoples judged so go figure I think after forrest they were a little hesitant about making another champ by dec I mean rashad made him look bad and made us all wish rampage was fighting

gbone Says, in 10-27-2009 at 00:48:34 from 24.24.202.136

I can’t believe how so many people comment about how far Shogun has come because he looked so bad against Coleman. As if to say Coleman is a nobody. Guys, Coleman may look slow, but on the ground he wears people down.

adelrafael Says, in 10-27-2009 at 01:44:02 from 98.64.25.63

Me maravilla,la manera y la forma que personas,claro esta que ni conozco,pero en fin fans,comentan de una pelea tan dificil en cuanto a tecnica y puntaje por desarrollo de la tecnica,conjuntamente con manifestacion de la misma,por el simple hecho de que Machida recibio dos golpes claros(solamente desde el 1 al 5)y fueron a su rostro,lo que lo mellaron y le hicieron herida.Para el que conoce un poco siquiera,nada de esto puede hacerlo cambiar de lo que se hizo evidente durante los 4 primeros asaltos,Machida supero a Shogun,pero discutir esto es como arar en el mar,en donde todos los que hablan y escriben sin parar de que fue robado Shogun;no se cansan de lo mismo.Dios les permita otra pelea,en la cual ya ustedes con un poquito mas de conocimiento comprendan que MACHIDA ES EL CAMPEON INDICUTIBLE DEL UFC.

jaydog Says, in 10-27-2009 at 03:46:11 from 99.190.223.123

Machida had the clearly accurate head hits and body shots.

Shogun clearly had the accurate leg kicks no doubt.

$hit! Says, in 10-27-2009 at 05:55:10 from 81.233.136.225

Omg.. Is it any possibility for the UFC to change the result of a match afterwards??
Could´nt they change this crap to a draw or a no contest?? Seriously…

Machida wasn’t 100% he said so himself after they directly asked him in the post fight interview.
But even then every kick by Shogan was answered with a punch or kick by Machida. Clear victory.

i think, because the prediction before fight is 85% to machida dan 15 percent to shogun, all three judges put their money on machida. But the fact is shogun wins. rather than loosing money or their houses in this time of crisis, judges make shogun loose. it happen all the time. it’s human.

123- yeah shogun should be more aggressive….thats what machida wants an agressive fighter to fight him…..thats how machida takes out people..the aggressive ones…stupid…123 do even watch machidas fights? being agressive is one the most important things not to do with machida…one mistake and machida will make a small mistake and big one! war machida!!!

If the judges tell the truth, shogun wins, ufc, shogun & machida getting more rich. But the judges will loose a lot of money or their houses if they really bet.

The fight was very close and intitally the first time I watched it I thought Shogun won…but you really have to watch it with the volume off…most kicks Shogun performed he did a Thai kick and circled which means he missed the kick. Some of them hit Machida’s hand and arm. he did some damaging kicks but he didn’t land nearly as much as everyone is contesting him to have made. Plus Machida was shoving Shogun around easily as well as controlling the clinch…flurries and two punches that nearly knocked Shogun down. Shogun was not looking to finish and since he isn’t the champion just off that he shouldn’t deserve to win a decision off a champion that completely dismantled the prior champion (Rashad)

1)Crowds booing dont mean anything. Judges are trained to do what they do and therefore their opinion is most likely going to represent the average opinion of a person who watches it in slow mo. Fightmetric.com’s strike count is non-sense, most of shoguns strikes did nothing and Machida countered a lot more than you realize until you watch it over at least on mute.

2)Despite Machida looking damaged at the end of round 5, if he still won 1 2 3, then based on the system in place he still wins. And that’s essentially what happened. Also, why don’t you be fair and post the pictures of Ruas’ face in the post fight interview, one big bruise on side of his head and another under his eye.

3)Machida backing up doesnt mean Shogun has octagon control you stupid idiots. MACHIDA IS ALWAYS BACKING UP, that’s how he fights. And he did initiate more engagements than Shogun.

4)What did Shogun really do?Didn’t take him down, didnt submit him, or knock him out. Kicked his legs a few times, some body shots that we ASSUME damaged Machida. What did Machida do? THE SAME, NOTHING. So quit winning about the decicions and cooking up conspiracy theories about corrpution. Shogun did better than expected, and Machida worse, so by contrast it looks like something that it wasn’t.

If I was Shogun, I wouldnt take the rematch. Say F’it, i’m not getting screwed again. Should finish his contract and sign with StrikeForce.

That cecil guy said machida controlled the octogon cuz he was luring shogan in. I think we should stick a judge in an octagon against any muay thai guy and as he runs away from the kicks ask him if he thinks he controlling the octogan? And when he said leg kicks and body shots don’t finish fights, kick him in the leg a few times for 5 minutes and then make him walk around for 4 more rounds, the judges are too old fashioned to understand modern MMA. And personally I think as much of a fan of machida as I am I feel that he shouldn’t be able to say he won the fight with a straight face even if he wants to hide behind the judges decision. The fact is machida is on a 60 days suspension and probably won’t be 100 percent by jan 2nd while shogun looked like his recovery may not even need to be more than a little bit of surfing and sushi and a good nights rest.

hehe if theres a rematch shogun loses by ko. you guys think that shogun is so amazing but as a technical aspect machida will figure out his barbaric style. he just rushes forward with way awkward movement but machida’s going to figure it out. about the leg kicks and body kicks…. you can forget about that. not going to land again. so what can you expect.. shogun getting frustrated and forced to come in and get countered hard by machida. next fight machida 2nd round ko

Anyone who is convinced Shogun won, go look at the final fight results, he loses to Machida! Shogun should go fight Anderson Silva. Should be interesting

just watch DREAM. you won’t know any of the fighters(unless you’re a true MMA fan and not just a UFC fanboy). so no whinning. great place to learn too. nothing but pure MMA. you’ll see some amazing stuff that has really been lost by cages and ground’n pound here in the U.S. and grow more appreciation. expand people

Man these Machida fanboys are funny. Machida is going to ko Shogun next fight? Based on what?

Shogun proved he was superior to Machida in every aspect as he took Lyoto’s game away from him.

The last two rounds Machida didn’t engage at all he was battered and his legs could barely hold himself up.

The third round every Machida fan wet themselves over was Shogun’s. Machida missed on almost every single strike that he threw in his desperate flurry and Shogun’s right at the end was the best strike of that exchange.

Shogun landed more than double the strikes and had Machida out of his rythm the entire fight.

I don’t know how anyone that watched that fight can think Machida is a better fighter than Shogun, let alone beat him.
