Anyone else watching?
Round 1 to Shogun IMO.
Wish I could watch it, but am without access. Keep me posted, please!
Please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated yet, please give it some thought.
Thank you!
I do BJJ and all the guys I roll with talk about ufc, but I was underwhelmed the last time i saw it ppv (april ‘09). too much kickboxing, not enough bjj.
Very close fight after 2 rounds.. Rua may be ahead.. Both rounds could of went either way..
Rua is not intimidated. He’s landing many hard kicks to Machida’s ribs
Definitely going to have to watch this on mmalinker when I get the chance. It would be nice to see Rua back in “old Shogun” form.
keep me posted, thanks.
End of 3rd.
Entire fight has been stand-up. Very good exchange at the end of the 3rd round, Machida may have gotten the better end of it.
Rua still landing alot of hard kicks in Machida’s rib.
I could see Machida getting that round though.. Still all 3 rounds very very close. Both have been very calculating and patient.
Wow.. Rua may have won the 4th..
Machida may need a KO here.. Rua very calculating landing very hard leg strikes to Machida’s thigh and rib, they are clearly hurting him.
Machida doesn’t look to have any spring in his step.
Shogun shutout after 4 rounds
Machida needs a KO, he`s gotta let it all hang out NOW
try Ustream.
government computers.... can’t stream. Thanks, though.
Shogun shutout
5 rounds of kicks to 0.
Machida waited too long and let Shogun dominate
Shogun- 47
Machida - 48
MACHIDA WINS !!!???
LOL WOW!!
48-47 Unanimous for LYOTO MACHIDA!
WOW! Robbery.
Not what I saw.
Shogun won all 5 rounds with ring generalship, dominating the center of the ring, moving forward as the aggressor with kicks keeping Machida on defense
I see it was a kickboxing match. :-(
WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!?????????
I’ve been reading two other threads, too. Even the Machida fans were sure he was getting his butt kicked all 5 rounds!
Terrible decision.
The crowd that was cheering Machida before the fight is booing him now.. Rua getting the cheers post fight from the crowd.
