Love Machida, but Shogun got robbed imo.

I agree, but who knows.

They have to re-vamp the scoring for this sport.

Love Machida, but Shogun got robbed imo.

I agree, emphatically. I can't freakin believe they robbed Shogun, please point out to me which rounds Machida won. I'm at a loss, I had it 5-0 shogun, and most of the rounds weren't even close, his leg kicks, and kicks to the body had Machida completely off balance, and out of his game plan.


Shogun faught brilliantly and I appreciate him not getting gassed finally. /cheers Shogun

Boo Judges, you suck!
