Machida: Rampage Told Me I Won The Fight
Posted on Nov 22, 2010
Following his razor thin split decision loss to Quinton Jackson at UFC 123, Lyoto Machida spoke about what was said between the two competitors following the bout when the judges scorecards were read:

"After the fight Quinton came up to me and said ‘no, you won the fight', I thanked him and told him he's a great champion too, even more for acknowledging that [I won], it's not easy to do that, but he added ‘don't you worry about that, you won the fight, and I'll give you a rematch because I know I didn't deserve this win.' I think the journey continues, it's not a defeat nor an obstacle that is going to get in the way of our dream, my dream continues, the journey continues. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to improve even more."

Which proves...
...Rampage is a bigger man for admitting Machida might have won at UFC 123 than Machida is for maintaining that he (Lyoto) beat Rua in their first fight. Props to Rampage, for showing Machida what a true man is...
