Has now become boxing. Shogun won…not by the judges standards. The whole crowd at the arena thought Shogun won. I was even rooting for Machida… 
…who won by the way. What a joke!!!! Had to vent somewhere!!! Sad…shogun won hands down… 
I am a die hard UFC fan but, that was the the worst decision I have ever seen. I was looking for Don King standing behind the scorers table. Dana White should refund every ones money . That was the wort set of fights I’ve ever watched. Is the UFC becoming the WWE I hope not.
Simply put, Shogun got screwed. I guess Machida must have got some extra points from the judges for taking all those extra shots to the ribs, legs and face. I’m sure Shogun took 3 if not 4 of the rounds.
I have a theory that you can never let it go to the judges in a championship fight because they always seem to side with the champ wether he deserves it or not. I just hope this doesn’t break the spirit of Shogun, he deserved the belt, and at very least deserves another shot at it very soon.
I truly feel that they’ll make him fight Silva for it though, even though Silva says he won’t fight Machida.
The red belly and Machida changing his stance during the fight said it all!!! Sad to see…then they had to show Shogun crying in his room after the fight…cut the guy some slack for pete’s sake!!! 
which makes me believe its all fake, just like the days of Verne Gagne and Barron Von Retchke. 
I’m sorry, but there are way too many variables for the UFC to be fake. Also, guys take way to big of a beating sometimes for any of that to be scripted. I didn’t order last nights fights because the fight card just plain sucked. I am planning on getting the ones on Nov 21 with lesner fighting and Griffin fighting Tito Ortiz. I hope Ortiz gets his face smashed. Can’t stand that guy.

Except in the Rampage/Forrest Griffin fight of last year.

I used to feel the same way about Tito, but after watching him as a coach on the Ultimate Fighter, I kinda like him now.
Lesner pulled out of 106. Will have to wait until 108 now.
I didn’t pay for the fight, but when watching other replays from the past Rogan basically said if it goes to the judges the challenger really needs to dominate as they won’t take the belt from the champ if is it close. Again, I didn’t see the fight so I don’t know how much Rua dominated. I assume Machida was busy back peddling the entire fight?
