Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Promised Immediate Rematch After UFC 104 Decision Loss to Lyoto Machida
Bloody Elbow —
... is so subjective that a fighter's corner should never reassure him that he is ahead on points. Especially when he's fighting for the title. Brookhouse is right that you shouldn't have to knock out the champion to take the title, but the reality is that a knock out is the only way to be sure that you'll take the belt. It's not the way it should be, but all too often it's the way it is.
And one more voice has been added to the chorus of those scoring the fight for Shogun.

Outrage in Shogun-Machida Decision Unwarranted

... and scored the fight three rounds to two for Rua, giving him the first, fourth and fifth. According to FightMetric.com , Rua outlanded Machida in total strikes 82-42, though 49 strikes were kicks to Machida's legs. The ringside judges (Nelson Hamilton, Marcos Rosales and Cecil Peoples), however, gave the fight to Machida, three rounds to two. I can not blame them. Round one was razor close. Round two was competitive. Round three was probably Machida's, but not by much. Round four was tight. Round five was Shogun's. After 25 minutes, there was not much separating the champion ...

Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Decision Leads to Overblown Controversy
Bloody Elbow —
The last few days have been surprising to say the least when it comes to the reaction stemming from Saturday evening's UFC 104 main event title bout between light heavyweights Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. We've heard accounts of the fight being scored 50-45 in favor of Rua to Anderson Silva believing it was a 50-45 win for Machida. We' ve heard angry mobs of fans and Ron Kruck claim it was a "robbery" decision while others claim that Machida simply wasn't damaged enough to be defeated because he was the champion.
There are numerous points I want to ...

... I don’t want to beat a dead horse here and rehash everything, but I will say this, Machida did not hit Shogun in the face every time he got kicked in the leg. In fact, according to the numbers, Shogun connected with 15 leg kicks in the first round while Machida only landed one strike to the head. I’ll concede the first round was close, but for reasons other than Peoples describes above. ...
