Someone has to be given the round, which is why draws only happen when there is a penalty point issue.
I really don't see a need for a rematch since nobody really got set back by it, and there are other fights to be had, but maybe at a later time if it comes around. |
This and I was pleasantly surprised to see a more strategic and tactical Rampage than ever before. After the 1st round, it appeared his game plan wasn't merely to 1-shot KO Machida but instead to calmly look for uppercuts and hooks during clinch breaks as well as rapidly execute multiple forward-stepping punches after Machida's kicks (while Machida would be momentarily off-balance and unable to counter well). It even looked like Rampage was coached to throw fake, half-hearted kicks just to change things up a little (or else those were some of the most pathetic kicks I've seen in a long time).
Rampage, I'm a fan again and your movie was actually pretty damn good, too!
