Lyoto Machida clearly won that fight..............

to those who don't know this fact, "there is always a slight advantage to the champion" in the final scorecards, be it mma or boxing, and to truly win, you have to beat the champion in a very convincing, overwhelming if you may manner. a knockout or a black and blue beating would qualify.

that is the way the world of fights go even if this isnt the way you think,
you just have to accept it because it happens; (happened time and time again).

it has always been this way, which is why after a very close fight, the belt always goes back to the champion.

the way i saw the fight, machida prepared a 1-2 backward stepping defense against shoguns 1-2 and occasionally 3 step forward attack which accounted for the leg hits, not even mentioning the factor of leg length and fighting style stance of rua.

Your post sucks man.

Fights are scored on a round by round basis. Shogun was inflicting more damage in every round except maybe the 3rd. Machida didn't even want to engage because he was afraid of getting countered.
