UFC

[ayuntalo]

machida by decision

[ayuntalo]

after seeing them move in the octagon, boy i feel like rampage will knockout lyoto soon..or is it just a weird feeling

[Poppa Catfish]

I got that same feeling ayuntalo

[The Bet Master]

I have the feeling Rampage will try and to knock him out and it'll backfire

[ayuntalo]

rampage feet seems bouncing tonight (most of the time he loses because its always flat) and lyoto is not doing anything IMO its hard to wait for rampages big haymaker because when it hits you will fall on the mat

[Poppa Catfish]

Awesome fight, amazing card

[ayuntalo]

the fight was only 3rd round? (no 1st and 2nd rounds? LOL)
this is kinda ugly..i think lyoto won by decision just because of the impressive 3rd round

[The Bet Master]

I think the Judges might of bet on this...

[ayuntalo]

[rocky mattioli]

another bullshit decision...how the hell did rampage win the 1st round?...what did he do except get kicked and get hit with a afew punches?...

judging is killing this sport...

[sportsfanatic]

holy crap. the odds on rampage winning via decision were enormous prior to the fight.

[JuicedUp]

page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[ayuntalo]

yes stupid decision by UFC again.. judges are ruining the sport lol
1 and 2 was up in the air and looks like nothing happen on it..i think lyoto should win by a close one

[terpkeg]

Man, between that decision and having to see karo parisyan's performance TWICE, turned out to be a shit night for me on the gambling front. Still enjoyed the card, but how the **** does Rampage take the first? I didnt think he landed more than 2 strikes.

[rocky mattioli]

holy crap. the odds on rampage winning via decision were enormous.

theres the rub...mucho dinero wagered on machida by decision...

[sportsfanatic]

theres the rub...mucho dinero wagered on machida by decision...

you know i thought about taking rampage by decision for kicks but chickened out. i feel really stupid.

[Cap dat 4ss]

Good fights tonight. It's hard to say Machida was the clear winner of this fight. He clearly won the third round 10-9 but the first two rounds were very close. Rampage got a takedown in one of them so that gives him that round 10-9. The other round, Rampage landed a few bigger punches and was the aggressor. So either way this decision went 50% would call BS and 50% would say it was right. Don't leave the decision in the hands of the judges and this doesn't happen. See B..........J........ PENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

[JuicedUp]

Thank you PAGE!!!!! cash it baby!!!!!

[sportsfanatic]

congrats to the guy with the penn and jackson parlay who posted earlier

[eidolon]

3 5 minute rounds is horrible.
Does anyone out there in the world other then the judges have Rampage winning? wtf.

I'd rather see 5 3minute rounds, instead of 3 5 minute rounds

[sportsfanatic]

thought machida won, but you don't leave the decision in the judges' hands

[rocky mattioli]

i have to watch the 1st round again...so i can see "the punches" jackson landed...out boxed...out kicked...

corrupt....

Machida lands four or five inside leg kicks for his first offense. Jackson charges in, winging punches, but Machida is on his bike. Now, “Rampage” initiates the clinch and stomps the taped feet of Machida as they work along the fence. They split and Jackson hits a glancing uppercut, while Machida lands a kick to the body. Another kick allows Jackson to clinch again, but they soon disengage. “Rampage” whiffing on his punches in the last 30 seconds. He eats another leg kick from Machida.
