Lyoto will most likely beat Shogun again...

Ether

I know, i know what you're thinking.. "WTF YEAH RIGHT" or "HE ALREADY BEAT HIM" ..which is slightly true. Some people would debate on saying if you watched their first fight with the volume down you can see how the judges had Lyoto winning.. OR some say Shogun just got straight up robbed. I think Shogun won the first fight, but now Lyoto fully knows what he's getting himself into and knows now what to prepare for.. and at the same time now Shogun fully knows that for this guy he has to fully go at him nonstop for the KO, which he can do. Unfortunately I don't see him pullling it off. I think Lyoto will find a way to remain undefeated.

Your exactly right.

Lyoto will win again because he knows how to point fight. He will land more shots, albeit not the harder shots but it will be lopsided on the compubox(can we call it that for MMA?)

Lyoto will win another decision and people will continue to think Shogun really won. When in reality, 90% punch/land ratio is forever better than the 15% every shot landed is a haymaker ratio.

If the person who lands the most shots wins the fight, Nate should've won his last fight. I watched the first fight with the sound off and still had Shogun winning. Hopefully Machida doesn't punch and run the whole fight...

Thats right...... plus IMO Shogun landed more shots than Machida, so it should've been a win-win for Shogun there, but having judges like Peoples who say kicks don't have an impact on MMA fights and Hamilton admitting his view was not the best and thus scoring a round Shogun clearly won for Machida (Round 4)..... how can anyone give that round to Machida is beyond me......

Shogun takes this rematch and will claim what is rightfully his.......

Nate lost to Maynard because Nate got rocked, Nate wasn't aggressive, Nate didn't do **** on the ground. Maynard initiated everything and I mean everything. While Nate looked like a Ultimate Fighter wannabe. And I wanted Nate to win..

Shogun and Machida was almost entirely standing. Shogun landed the bigger shots(mainly leg kicks). Machida landed more shots, even throwing while going backwards. If you watched the fight with the sound off and still thought Shogun won... I don't know what to say. lol

By the time Shogun landed his first strike, Machida had already hit him 6/8 times.

Off topic for the thread and I know its my fault for bringing it up, so this is the last I will say on it, but Nate clearly landed more shots and did more damage the entire fight, winging haymakers that miss by a mile is not winning a fight. Just look at their faces afterwards..

I watched the fight with my eyes open and saw Shogun winning. I really don't need to shut out Rogan's commentary in order to have an objective viewing of a fight.
