    What's this? Two Brazilians disagreeing with a decision that went against another Brazilian? Never. It's like listening to Wandys fight "predictions".



    National pride overtakes common sense sometimes. Jackson won it, fair and square.

    especially Anderson the training parter of Machida who thought Machida won all 5 rounds against Shogun...I never understood why reporters ask teammates about who is going to win and how etc, its obvious they r going to support there team....well almost everyone Cain said GSP is going to be champ for a long time, not giving Kos a chance lol

    that´s exactly why you´re saying Rampage won, you´re most likely American. Watch the fight again, please.

    I'm Canadian....How did Machida win? He got out struck in the first and second round by Rampage and Rampage was more aggressive and had octagon control so first two go to Rampage, 3rd goes to Machida so if my math is right 2-1 means Rampage won.....if u dont beleive hears the link to the fightmetric's of the fght http://blog.fightmetric.com/2010/11/rampage-vs-machida-fightmetric-report.html

    There is a feature with YouTube called "interactive transcript" that you can click on... It will highlight each sentence as it comes out of a person's mouth. I think you will have to double click the video and actually go to YouTube to use it tho. Look beneath the video to the right. Just hover over and it should say "interactive transcript" when you have found the right one : )

    Most was informative.



    I think Anderson put it best when he said and I quote..."something, something, something, something, something, something." All while shaking his head from side to side, as Rizzo nodded his head in agreement, that the two of them disagreed with the split-decision victory of Jackson over Machida.



    At least that's what I got out of it.

    Rizzo -"there´s no way Rampage won the fight, he came closer to ending the fight, Rampage barely touched him"



    Anderson - "Lyoto was way better than Rampage, he almost knocked him out , but it´s difficult because we don´t know what type of criterion the judges are using to judge the fights, unfortunately it was in American territory, American ground, he fought against an American, and unfortunately he couldn´t knock out Rampage, and the rule stays the same, when you fight like Machida´s style, mostly walking back and counter attacking, you must knock out your opponent in order to win. Quinton didn´t pose any danger to Machida at any time, actually it was pretty much the opposite. So we, as Brazilians and friends of Lyoto, we are really sad, we know Lyoto won, even Rampage admited he lost the fight."



    Rizzo - "I agree and sign the bottom, even Rampage signs the bottom, he admited he lost the fight, so there´s nothing else to say."

    The only reason is because judges for some reason believe that when someone is moving back or playing a counter attack game they are retreating and therefore losing. Which is definitely not true and is a strategy. If someone is being stalked they can still be winning and that is something these moron judges need to know.

    You're right that they can still be winning, but because aggression and octagon control are part of the scoring, someone actually has to be getting the upper hand on their opponent by choosing to retreat and counter. Anderson Silva, and incidentally Rampage, will often rely on countering as well, but when they do they have a tendency to rip their opponent's faces off. Rampage actually did a good job of nullifying Machida's ability to counter in this fight, and Machida was afraid to throw much of anything because he didn't want to leave himself open to Rampage's power. When he had the opportunity Rampage clinched him against the cage and controlled him. Even though he didn't cause much damage, he didn't take much either, and he controlled the fight.



    Now, Rampage losing the fight as a whole is just a consequence of having a 10 point must system. There was a much larger difference in effectiveness is the third round than the first two rounds combined. This fight illustrates perfectly why Dana White hates it.

    That is just a ridicules thing to say, so if its my strategy to avoid fighting for 15min I should win because I implemented my "strategy"? Hell no. I am of the school that making a sub attempt should be worth more points then a takedown and that aggression should be the ONLY criteria.

    machida went for 3 subs, got to full mount in the last round and hardy got hit throughout the fight. his low kicks did more in the first then the missed punches of rampage. 2nd id give to rampage cuz of the takedown. very close fight but overall machida did more

    I wish they didn't have time limits or rounds. Keep all the other rules and get rid of the judges. Then the fighters could actually fight it out till the end and we wouldn't have all this controversy.

    You also wouldn't have sanctioned MMA bouts in many states including Las Vegas as the weight divisions/time limits/gloves were the main factors in getting mma legalized

    Fkn tards octagon control is for takedowns and takedown defense. It has nothing to do with agression. Maybe if some of you read the rules you would know rampage lost. Fight metric had machida win. When they put it in the 10 point system it was 2929. You nut huggin twelve year olds need to go play with your ufc dolls. Just liket the first shogun fight the reffs were paid.

    3) “Octagon Control”: Dictating the pace, location and position of the contest using the following maneuvers:

    a) Countering a grappler’s attempt at takedown to remain standing and legally striking effectively;

    b) Taking down an opponent to force a ground fight;

    c) Creating threatening submission attempts pass the guard to achieve mount, while on the ground;

    d) Creating striking opportunities, while on the ground.



    Rampage did zero of that in round 1. You guys are funny I love page too but I know he lost. The last round clearly was machida while round 1 is too close to call. Round two page just barely squiked by and did nothing with his take down.

    big loss of respect for silva 'it's american territory, american soil, he's fighting an american'

    every time i listen to a brazilian/filipino/portugese speak i get frustrated by their utter racism that stems from their overly jacked up sense of 'national pride'

    oh Cain with mexico too, worst tattoo ever.
