For the middleweight champion of the event, the Judges made the correct assessment. "The Lyoto fought well, was very well trained. It was a hard fought fight. Shogun fought at his pace very well, was very well prepared, is very experienced, but the technique was superior and Lyoto won resoundingly, "said Anderson. According to the training partner Lyoto, they should go home and draw a new strategy for a possible rematch, confident that the karateka won the fight. "They fought well, made a good fight, but Machida won well. Now it is back home and see what he had supposedly done wrong. This struggle has passed, does not matter anymore, he is the champion, a great person, a great athlete, "he said, congratulating the performance of former fellow Chute Boxe. "Shogun has done well, this fight was a fight that all MMA fans liked to see. In my opinion, Lyoto won all rounds. Shogun drew a good strategy to attack the legs, but it was not enough. There are coaches who have to decide, but the judges ... Lyoto won well, now it's back to training as soon as possible ", concluded Anderson.
IMH UFC is getting a bit predictable, And with statemants like that comming from P4P #1 of the sport its getting more like a TV drama!
silva's one hell of a good friend to defend lyoto like that. how i wish a shogun-silva can be made soon so that he will know how it feels like getting bombed by those kicks in the body and legs.
Exactly what I was thinking. Anderson knows he & Machida wont fight, he`s probably glad Rua never got the decision because there would be pressure for a fight with himself & Shogun - in which I would back Rua to win, dont think Anderson is too keen on that fight himself.
Shogun to me won 4 out of 5 rounds that was the worst judging since bisping vs hammil fight when they gave it to bisping
Silva is dellusional and im at the point where I truely dislike this guy. Anderson needs to shut his mouth and stop ducking Belfort.
