I watched it live, have read the comp-u box numbers, and read cecil's blog about why he gave it 3 rounds to 2 for Machida. I personally would say there is no clear cut winner. Other than Shogun's leg kicks he really didn't do a whole lot. Now his strike count from comp-u box is higher, but most of those strikes were leg kicks. A majority of Machida's power shots were to the head and body, so he got the nod from2/3 judges for the first 3 rounds. I believe that since Shogun was much more effective, in rounds 4 and 5, that's what most people remember. They forget that the first 3 rounds were pretty close. Now there is no written rule that says close/even rounds always go to the champ, the fact of the matter is they always do. Whether that's right or wrong is debatable. I would have personally called it a draw, and set up a re-match as soon as possible.
