The first round was competitive. Machida's knees to the face and head kick - while not much - were the offensive highlights of the first two minutes.
Look, **** off, please. I'm sick of these turdbasket judges like you who are all "OH I JUDGE YOU BECAUSE YOU GAVE TWO ROUNDS TO MACHIDA". I ****ing did, okay? I wasn't listening to Rogan and Goldberg going on about how AMAZING Rua was doing and discounting Machida's counter punching, **** that, okay? You don't discount the counter punch because you think the original was better, you tally. You score, that is the sport. I still scored it to Rua anyway, so why *****? Machida did not win that fight in my eyes, Rua did well to solve that puzzle, and the guy is elite, definitely. I can see these guys ****ing up Light-Heavyweight definitely. To me, it just seems you can't put either guys in the ring with anyone at LH. I mean, it's all so boring to them. Either of them will **** up Jardine, Silva, Wanderlei, Griffin, Tito, Liddell, Rampage, what's the ****ing point, really? They need to fight eachother or Anderson, that's the only guys who will be able to fight. It's sort of like a different division. You have "light-heavyweight" and "****ing elite light-heavyweight", those guys are in the felh. Look, I'm not gonna be one of these dickheads who screams "ROBBERY" because tbh, I'm tired of you ****s. I've sat here through Paulie Malignaggi/Diaz, I've sat here through Froch/Dirrell and honestly, it's boring. I enjoyed the fight, I believe Rua won, what the **** does either guy lose? Nothing, because it's UFC. That's the beauty. Hate the thing as much as you want but either guy will fight on the main card again. The thing you want to focus the most on tonight is the crowd. The moron idiots who bought a ticket and dared to boo a ****ing chess match. I bet 50% of those idiot ****s bought the tickets because they saw Machida KO Evans and thought "OH LOOK LETS JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON AND WEAR A WHITE FLAG WITH A RED DOT IN THE MIDDLE HE'S SO GREAT". To quote Ali in subtext, Lyoto Machida will beat Rashad Evans any day of the week and Shogun Rua will beat Rashad Evans any day of the week. Jerry's final thought: Just stop ****ing bitching about the ROBBERY ****, it's boring, man. UFC is a little bit different in that aspect, as much of a **** you think Dana is when it comes to making fights, he'll know that Rua and Machida will get main event fights next. Those guys are made for eachother in a tactical fight. Score it how you want, that fight you could watch for about 4 ****ing hours and still find interesting.
It just doesn't make sense for the fight to be "fixed" against Machida, I thought none of the UFC brass wanted him to be champ anyways because he is so "boring".
Although this is a good day for boxing, I just cant help but feel bad for Shogun. I just cant stand when fighters get robbed. I didnt even watch the fight but judging from the uproar it sounds like a complete robbery.
