Just watched the event this morning, im absolutly shocked at Davis got that decision, granted some rounds were close but I had it 30-27 to Machida.
How did you all score it? Machida outstruck him in every round pretty clearly land more shots and landing harder better timed shots too. Davis didnt do much with the late takedowns he scored and got a LOT of Takedowns stuffed, about 10 from what I counted.
Stuffing takedowns scores nothing in UFC, thats clear. But they need to stop scoring Takedowns so highly, if they dont take defending them into account. Were at a point here where a takedown is worth MORE than a flush hard combo...
Fucking MMA juding strikes again. What next for them both now? Machida could wait to see if Anderson loses is Weidman in the rematch. I wonder if he would take a fight with Belfort at 195lbs that would be Ideal IMO. Test the waters of moving down a weight class.
Davis should rematch Nog I think.
