FUCKING AWESOME!!! THAT’S JUST THE WAY I SAW IT GOING DOWN!!! LYOTO “THE DRAGON” MACHIDA IS NOW THE NEW UNDISPUTED UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP!!! THIS MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA IN MMA. (sorry nigga) j/k :lol:
I was rooting for him the entire time. He completely dominated Evans all through out until finally knocking the ex-title holder out midway through the second round! Gotta give credit for Evans though for hanging tough despite the early beating he received. He fought with a strategy but to no avail. He’s got nothing to be ashamed of, he was a proud champ.
Anyway, I can’t wait till Machida defends his newly acquired belt. I wonder who’s gonna fall prey to his karate next... Rampage?
About the Hughes and Serra fight, I was quite disappointed on how the match turned out to be. Hughes may have won, but it wasn’t like he did what he said he’d do in the pre-match interviews. Btw, I did expect him to win and although I also expected the match to go the way it did, I at least had hoped to see some blood. Lastly, when the match was over, where the fuck did all the bad blood disappear to? Hugging each other just like that after all of the constant yapping exchanges between them for who knows when, YUCK! EWW!
I really didn’t care much about the rest of the fights. The 37-second victory by Drew over Xavier was all but lucky... did it actually take only 34 secs, I dunno. And it ticks me whenever a fighter questions the stoppage done by the referee. Don’t get fuckin knocked down thrice if you’d like to avoid such a call. :lol: One last thing, I feel like Sean Sherk should call it quits. He’s getting too old for the sport (not to mention the steriod case) and obviously, his direct standup/boxing style is just too easy to counter for any youngins around his weight division like Edgar.
All in all, I'm very happy with The Dragons’ triumph over Evans. It was held in Vegas (US) but the crowd was obviously cheering for him who’s a Brazilian native rather than their very own, Evans. What’s up with that? (ever since the match was scheduled, it was clear who was favored to win, and I can’t blame the people for feeling that way – Machida is a one of a kind fighter that’s very rare to come by and really is fun to watch) FUCK YEAH!
