Exact same thing happened to me. I kept telling people that Shogun was gonna win, and everybody gave me shit about it until about the 3rd round. Then when the decision came, the whole bar erupted in anger. I don't know if I've ever heard "Bull Shit!" so many times in my life.

Thats exactly what it was also BS!!

exxact same thing happened at my place chorky one of my friends was yelling Dragon the whole fight and when the place went nuts he let out a dragon yell and everyone was like Shut the Fuck up

it was funny to this day he tries to tell me Machida won that fight

How can any1 say that with a straight face that Machida won that fight??
