And how did Machida win that fight... Im hardpressed to find anyone who didnt give the first 2 rounds to rampage... Round 3 clearly went to Lyoto... the most eventful round clearly, but enough to earn a 10-8? dont know about that... and even with that its a draw...
Machida had just come off his KO loss to shogun, came out very tentative and gun shy... lost the first 2 rounds because of it... turned up the pressure in the 3rd... won it, but it was too little too late. He lost the fight. |
So you are operating under the assumption that Machida is gonna destroy Hendo to say that Rampage is equal to Hendo. It's always a good idea to just assume stuff like that. It's why I have Kalib Starnes ranked above Anderson Silva, because I just assume he is gonna come back to the UFC and rattle off 15 straight wins.
Also rewatch Hendo-Shogun and Machida-Rampage.
