6 months ago people were saying Rua is finished now he's number 1?

No need to pile on Machida. He didn't score the fight. He didn't claim dominance. He even side stepped the question about winning.

a lot of people are prisoners of the moment, as Skip Bayless would say

just have to realize that sometimes injuries are not excuses, they're legit reasons for bad performances

Shogun
Silva
Machida
Evans
Rampage
Mousasi
Thiago
Lil Nog
Hendo
Cane

People are ranking Rampage too low. He has never REALLY lost a fight in the UFC.

Well, technically he "retired" so there is no reason to really have him on a list

1. Machida
2. Shogun
3. Rashad
4. Mousasi
5. Thiago
6. A. Silva
7. Dan Henerson
8. Cane
9. Vera
10. Lil Nog

1. Shogun
2. Anderson
3. Machida
4. Rashad
5. Rampage
6. Cane
7. Forrest
8. T. Silva
9. Vera
10. Bader

still giving the #1 to machida until machida actually loses to shogun. and you pussies who put shogun on top, i hope you all have some balls to pick him during the rematch. in fact i would avatar bet, money bet anyone in here that machida will win the next fight again and put this "controversy" away.

chorky is your avatar suppose to be favoring shogun? Cuz I havnt seen the fight yet but I am seeing what all the people who says machida was countering his kicks.. I am sure rogan yelled nice body kick though

speaking of which.. does anyone have a link.. I have some time today.. the MMA Linker one isnt working for me.

It was meant to show a typical exchange in the fight that I clearly think Shogun came out on top of. That kick hurt Machida way more than that little straight from Machida hurt Shogun.

I agree with the masses... My eyes tell me much more than three idiot judges that Shogun was the better fighter Saturday.

Shogun
Machida
Mousasi
Evans
Cane
Thiago
Lil Nog
Griffin
Jardine
Vera

a typical exchange? So this is what was happening most of the time? yeah that body kick did damage but machida also hit him in the face .. I mean all I have been reading is how much this was a high way robbery and terrible for the sport, and how it was rigged .. and that was the GIF chosen .. I mean shogun had to beat the shit out of him for all of this outrage right? I see a strong body kick, and counter to the face, a failed takedown attempt and than covering up

Man i need to find a link and watch the fight.. I am sure that I will be with most and think shogun won but from just reading everything first, I dont think I am going to be as pissed off about it as a lot of you are..

here u go Golbez

the 2nd one down works good

i wouldn't say im pissed about it nor would i say it was a robbery. It was a close fight but it falls in line with "you have to beat the champion" and while i did give the decision to Shogun i wasn't really surprised to see it go to Machida.

thanks brodie.

1 thing thats kind of conspiracy is when Bruce Buffer was announcing Machida he called him the reigning, "defending", champion. Maybe there is a secret message here. Is Bruce dropping hints? lol

I will say that I would have wanted a rematch either way that it went .. and if shogun did get the decesion they wouldnt have given an immediate rematch for lyoto.. so I am selfish and cool with it.. sorry. Plus i thought the first 2 rounds were close rounds to score, so eh..

speaking of "prisoners of the moment", i guarantee you that not even a quarter of the guys who are putting shogun on top right now will pick him for the rematch against machida. a few months from now, they'll think it over and realize "hey shogun didnt really do anything in that match to convince me he can beat machida" and they'll go with machida. also if anyone still feel strongly that shogun is a better fighter than machida by then, i'll be here and gladly take them on any kind of bet offers.
