Yeah, you can't catch a crackhead. He'd be all over the place.

Machida-Rua?  Opinions?

I think the decision could have gone either way, really, but agree that Machida was closer to winning.  Neither guy really did enough visible damage to make a clear case.  "Moving forward" isn't much of a determining factor with a stick and move fighter in there.

The UFC commentary has gone beyond useless.  They pick out a fighter at the start of the fight and talk about him as if he has already won - it's less convincing than the WWE commentary at this point.  A few times Rogan went "Oh nice left to the temple by Rua" and Rua hadn't even thrown one.

Ginsu Victim:
I thought, like everyone else in the room while we watched, that Rua had won (though it was close). The judges didn't see it that way.

Try watching it again with the TV muted.  See if that changes anything.

It's pretty obvious that, like so many UFC champions, Machida has gone right into conservative "don't lose" mode.  With his elusive style he could end up harder to watch than Tim Sylvia.
