    He should have been crowned champion last night. I am a big fan of Machida but I thought Rua won the fight clearly.

    It's not at all impossible that Rua will win the rematch and will be back in his dominating ways like what he did in Pride. Those wicked kicks! wow!

    Looked really good. Best fight for him in the UFC so far probably. I had him winning every round

    Yup the rua that i expected when he first came from pride. Now he is 100% and is ready to take on anybody. So many fights i want to see him at 205.

    Rua vs Tito Ortiz
    Rua vs Griffin 2
    Rua vs Machida 2
    Rua vs Evans
    Rua vs Anderson Silva

    damnn i hope he can stay healthy cuz i love to see him fight those guys.

    Agreed, I thought he looked back to near his best vs Chuck, thats why I picked him to beat Machida but others were looking at the negative picture & putting that down to Chuck being past it, I was thinking optimistic & studying Rua`s reaction time & movements in general.

    Im glad the most exciting elite fighter in MMA is back, shame he isnt allowed to do head stomps in UFC, those were beautiful/brutal.
