4 more rematches with Shogun and Machida can then fight Lesnar for the title.

I really hope they put on another top10 VS top10 on that card because Ortiz VS Forrest 2 headlining is far too thin to carry that card.
they should move two fights from ufc 107 up to 106 to make up for it
fitch v alves and penn v sanchez, doubt penn would agree to it though

this is exactly how i had it watching it live, rewatched and the only change i would make is maybe putting round 2 as a draw.

Is there somewhere I can stream 104 at this point? If anybody has a place, please PM me.
10-26-2009 , 06:13 PM
lol, what a pointless petition though. Obviously the result will not be overturned, even if it was a robbery. There would have to be signs of corruption for it to be overturned, stupid judges is not enough of a reason.

Ufc 106 looks terrible now, only 1 good fight as far as I can tell (nog/cane)

Does anyone know if Alves vs Fitch has been confirmed? This is an amazing comain with the #2 and #3 170ers going at it.

Ufc 108 is just flat out amazing now, looks even better than ufc 100 in terms of entertainment of actual fights.

Fwiw CC, Mikey is still active on BE and from the gist of his posts he doesn't think it was a robbery.

Was sorta hoping he would be around to give his reaction from a big Machida fan standpoint, but I guess he won't come around until the conversations start fading or the subject changes.

I already knew he wouldn't consider it a robbery as "robbery" is probably too harsh a word. But I know he scored the fight in real time, and I'd like to see his scores and compare them to, well, the rest of the world.

It is pretty close. And so is round 2, and round 3. So how some people give ALL 3 of them to Machida just baffles me. That is just Machida love... Isn't a razor close round supposed to go either way...?

Most people have this fight scored 48-47 or even more popular 49-46 for Shogun. This is giving Shogun 1 or 2 of those really close rounds. How do the judges give Machida all three of them!? It's ridiculous.

Although Hamilton gave Machida round 4 instead of 1, which just shows how incompetent he truly is.
10-26-2009 , 07:05 PM
I'm pretty sure Nelson Hamilton was the judge that gave Thales Leites 2 rounds against Anderson Silva.
10-26-2009 , 07:22 PM
I think people are starting to calm down and see it was alot closer fight, and since people gave Shogun little or no shot in this fight, to see him finally actually take some rounds from Lyoto, it was a anti climatic ending. I think using Prides judging, I would give Shogun the nod, and maybe we need to change the scoring system. Since they use the 10 point must, I think the fight was a draw, so I guess in fairness you don't take someones belt in a draw. Still puzzles me how there are still people saying 50-45 rua and giving him 10-8 rounds, that's just silly, neither fighter had dominate rounds in any sense of the word, but there's no doubt Shogun won 4 and 5 decisively. The first 3 are just to damn close.
10-26-2009 , 07:23 PM
Yea I have no idea how idea how that judge gave Lyoto the 4th. What is more ******ed is that he gave Shogun the 3rd? Literally the best rounds for the exact opposite fighter.

Lesnar pulls out of 106 because of the FLU. LOL what BS

oh and heres Silva being the tool he always is

Quote:
Anderson Silva was closely watching the fight between Lyoto Machida and Maurício "Shogun", and analyzed the controversial result in a talk with TATAME. For the middleweight champ, the judges made the right decision. "Lyoto fought well, he was very well trained. It was a much disputed fight, very even. Shogun fought in his rhythm really well, he was well prepared too, he's very experienced, but Lyoto's technique was superior and he inarguably won", said Anderson.

According to Lyoto's training partner, they must go back home and trace out a new strategy for the possible rematch, certain that the Karate fighter won the bout. "The two fought well, they had a good strategy, but Lyoto won. Now we gotta go back home and see what he, supposedly, got wrong in order for the next one. That fight is past, it doesn't matter any more, he is the champion, a great person, a great athlete", he said, congratulating the performance of the former partner from Chute Boxe.

"Shogun deserves congratulations, that fight was one that all of the fans of MMA wanted to see. In my opinion, Lyoto won all of the rounds.Shogun outlined a good strategy of attacking the legs, but it wasn't enough. It's not the trainers that have to decide it's really the judges... Lyoto won, now just gotta go back to the training as soon as possible", finished Anderson.

I agree with Anderson! (Not really but I am afraid he will morph behind me and headfake me and I will burst into flames)

its generally funny how these things work out, as it has seemed over the past couple of years that the cards that have looked weak have really delivered. TBH, I think that they are running too many major shows and its starting to look very fast like WCW back in 97 when things were sailing and they were over saturating the market with their product. 5 major shows in what, 7-8 weeks is a lot from that run from UFC 105-jan2nd. That's over saturation IMO

already posted, twice. I don't think that its BS, if brock hasn't been able to train. What would be BS if he tried going through with the fight, losing, and then it coming out that he had a bad case of the flu for a good month-6 weeks. While I don't think that he'd lose to Shane Carwin, it shows that he is definitely taking the fight seriously and wants to be at as top of condition as possible for the fight

Yea, it sucks but I would do the same thing. Pulling a Nog and fighting anyways turned to do way more damage then good to the fan base. Plus it must be hard for a guy like him to make 265, especially when he cant train for 3 weeks before the fight.
