So like all UFC fans I patiently waited Saturday night through a whole fight card to get to the main event: Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. It was a highly anticipated fight, being advertised all over Spike during The Ultimate Fighter. There were posters for it at just about every Buffalo Wild Wings I walked in to in the tri- county area. And to top it off Dana White, founder of the UFC, was charging people about 65 dollars to watch it from home on pay- per- view. And after watching all five rounds I would label the bout as nothing more than a disappointment!
The first big disappointment was that Machida came in with the light heavyweight belt and much to everyone's surprise, including his own, walked away with it via unanimous decision, meaning that the three judges had Machida winning every round. This could not be possible just by looking at Machida’s ribs at the end of the fight.
Secondly, most people had Machida winning by submission or TKO in about two and an half rounds, so even the fact that Shogun went all five rounds with Machida should have earned Shogun the belt.

The last thing that made this fight, as well as most of the main bouts on the card, a big disappointment was that there was not one good knock out in the whole three hours.

The only way Dana White could make it up to us is to have a rematch between Machida and Shogun. Only this time he should put it for free on Spike!
