Machida's thoughts on his loss to Rampage

“Thank you all for the support. I think I’ve won, but I have to respect the judges work. Making mistakes or not, there were trained to be there, so I can’t judge them. My father has always taught me since I was little on my Karate competitions, that there were unfair outcomes: ‘Son, you can’t blame the judges, the responsibility of winning or losing is all yours. You have to be the best so they can’t say otherwise. They can give the win for either one of you, if they want to. I was glad with my performance, with my preparation. My team did a great job. Its outcome wasn’t anyone’s fault. If it happens, it was the way it was supposed to happen, I have to learn something from it."

I agree, machida beat rampage Round 1 & 3. Only fanboys say rampage won and the only excuse they can use is the FALSE
" OCTOGON CONTROL " which rampage didnt have. He had the
"Agression control " i guess since he would chase machida here and there but thats only becuase machidas style is to back up
" not run " so machida was robbed becuase of his style. PLus dana said to give rampage the win obviously.

In my opinion shogun vs machida 1 was a draw... machida had the first 2 rounds for sure, shogun had the last 2 rounds for sure. It was all about round 3, and machida was the one doing flurrys like at the end of the round while shogun just did leg kicks, i was disapointed in shogun not trying to finish machida.... you cant just think your gonna steal somebodys belt by decision when you didnt clearly win.
