Right again, but I really don't want to be.

First off let's state the obvious. My prediction for UFC 104 turned out to be correct, Loyoto won by UD. Now, let's focus on the less obvious, or, to the more observant, which would be the human beings with 2 eyes in their heads, the most obvious thing about the whole fight was Machida did not win the fight, much less win by a unanimous decision?! WHAT?! Rua won rounds 1,2,4 and 5 conclusively and convincingly with round 3 being up in the air and going either way. What fight were the judges watching? ROUND 5 Machida was EXHAUSTED, hands down, limping around on the legs shogun amply destroyed with Muay Thai 101. Aside from the terrible decision, the fight itself was very interesting in regards to the style match up, as it shows, contrary to a lot of peoples assertions, machids 'karate style' doesn't seem to be very effective against basic leg kicks 101 (oversimplification yes I know, but bear with me, I am frustrated at the bad decision) and accurately summed up why I had such trouble judging who would exactly win. Hopefully there is a rematch.
