got this off of mmanews.com
After a controversial finish at UFC 104 in October that seen Lyoto Machida defend his light heavyweight championship against Shogun Rua, in a fight many believed Shogun won, UFC President Dana White stated that Shogun would receive an immediate rematch and now a date has been set.
On May 1st when the UFC returns to Montreal the two 205lb fighters will clash again to see if someone can decisivly walk away as champion.
It wasn't the prettiest of fights and the arguement could be made that Shogun didn't "beat" the champion with it being so close but, the 10 point must system which has been the focus of criticism since its inception in the sport of MMA clearly had Shogun winning the fight on many MMA insider, writers, and fans scorecards.
Hopefully next time one of the fighters takes it out of the judges hands.

Sweet!! UFC is coming back to Montreal. I've been to the first two and hopefully will be going to this one as well. I just hope we have 3 different judges this time around.

Glad that there is going to be a rematch for Shogun's sake. I'm not a huge fan of him, but he clearly won the first fight, Machida got outclassed on that night by miles..

I'm not gonna say Machida will destroy Shogun, but I hope he learned his lesson from his "win" & comes out with a better game plan.

Yeah, it's completely unbelievable that Machida will destroy Shogun isnt it? And saying that makes me a COMPLETE fool! This place is a joke for being able to have an opinion. Look at history. Machida has destroyed everyone one he has faced in UFC until he ran into Shogun. Then during a GREAT fight you can make a case for each fighter to win. Shogun has been beaten badly in the UFC and has only really dominated an aging glass chined Chuck Liddell until the Machida fight. You'd think that being an mma and UFC fan you'd be able to recognize that one fight doesnt mean shit. If Shogun REALLY dominated Machida as much as everyone acts then Machida would have been knocked out on the mat. I love you "Smart" ufc fans here.... |
