It was close, no doubt. I could see a close decision either way, but Rua did not run away with that fight. Many times Machida would land a 3 strike combo or counter Rua's kick, and Joe Rogan would say "Man, Rua is really landing these kicks!" I was yelling at my TV.
Anyway, we have to agree to disagree. I think the fightmetric is just wrong. It didn't count all of Machida's srtikes |
Good call bro. Im sure we can also agree it didnt end how either of us would have liked.
Anyone watch 109? That main event should have taken place ten years ago. I think White just has the entertainment obligation to fill. There were really no spectacular bouts.
