Machida-Rua 2

[Cammo101]

Machida is trained in Nogueira Ju-Jitsu. I would'nt count him out on the ground to anyone, but it is a matter of personal pride for Machida to win using friendly judges.

Fixed.

So I'm re-watching this fight on spike and have been trying to count the landed strikes. Round one was essentially a draw in that respect, I've got lyoto by one but there were a few strikes for each were the camera angle sucked and there were some knees in the clinch which I didn't count, the three from lyoto early and then 2 from shogun where he just put nothing into it. Can't see how anyone can bitch about who won this round as it was basically dead even on striking and the only attempt to take it to the ground resulted in Lyoto stuffing shogun. Lyoto initiated more of the action so I guess he wins this round on aggression, but really this is a dead even round. Now on to round two, ****. I hit the wrong button on my remote and have missed most of round two. But if memory serves Lyoto won this one fairly cleanly. I guess I'll check mma-core later.
