I saw this fight live and while I couldn't make a case then for Rampage, I felt as though the decision was wrong. I chalk that up to Machida's 3rd round performance, of course, as well as my not seeing clear cut winners in rounds 1 and 2. I suppose I would have been happier with Machida taking a majority decision or the fight being declared a draw of some sort. I'll have to see if I can view it again to get a second opinion on it.
It just stinks that the fight just started to heat up and then it ended. Either way, the fight had its moments and if a rematch happens I'll be good with that.
