Rewatched Machida-Rua without sound. Not nearly the robbery I thought it was.

    It's amazing what an impact that douchebag Rogan had on my perception of the fight while watching it the first time.

    You don't have to hear to see the marks on Machidas ribs, legs and face.

    I agree 100%. I think as much as the kicks were connecting the left hand got in also.

    The challenger needs to show without a doubt that he beats the champion.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE IT'S NOT A ROBBERY.:nut

    Um, in the post fight interview Rua's face looked a lot worse. He had black eye and bruise below on the left side and a bruise on his temple on the right side

    soon most will be saying Machida won...MMA is way behind in recognizing effective striking. To them kneeing someone thighs against a pinned man on the cage is more than someone getting kneed flush to the abdomen.

    seen the fight twice...

    (first time , without rogan's comments btw)....

    And i did it again today...(again , without the audio)

    I concluded that Shogun was robbed. Still haven't changed my view on this one.

    Rogan was on Shogun's nuts because all the effective strikes where landed by him.

    Can't say anything good about Machida when he wasn't doing anything but Rogan does hug nuts a lot. He did it with Alan Belcher against Sexyama.

    I had it off the whole time because I watched it online and I didn't wanna hear Rogan or Goldberg being on Machida's balls which they were.
    I had every round for Shogun and first 2 were close but I'd still would've given it to Shogun.
