doomrider7 - Pretty much all but 1-2 of the punches Rampage threw landed while Machida had several leg kicks and a body kick. Being aggressive shouldn't matter for shit if you're not being effective.
Neither should running backwards.
Moving backwards and landing more effective strikes should mean you're winning, and fightmetrics has that as what happened.
HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe - I thought Machida won. This fight should have been a 5 rounder for sure. I feel like Machida was fighting in five round mode. It has been almost 2 years since his last three round fight.
so you agree he fought cautiously, but still did enough to get the W?
I had him winning but there was no robbery there. close fight.

More effective strikes? Are you serious? Round 1 and 2, Machida landed the more effective strikes?
