The final blow left Evans unconscious against the cage and brought a rousing conclusion to the first title bout between two undefeated fighters in UFC history.

white owl Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It was a little boring at first when they were feeling each other out but Machida did very well against Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoriKid Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Machida's post fight with Joe Rogan was very cool. Gracious in victory and finishes with "Karate is back!" I just love how the karate influence, being a different striking base than boxing and MT, i sso confounding to everyone he's fought. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.
