The Dragon Is STILL The Champion!!!

Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida is still the champion after Saturdays UFC 104 main event. The fight that was intended to last five five minute rounds didn't disappoint! It was captivating and very kept me at the edge of my seat every second of those five rounds. The fight was not won by knockout or submission, it was won by decision and the Staple Center crowd seemed to not agree. Machida was booed after his belt was returned to him on the octagon and he seemed to notice. He himself said “Whenever he wants, I’ll try again, No problem.”( To read the rest of the article go to http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-ufc104&prov=ap&type=lgns) Machida is that karate kid that everyone doubted and now look at him, he is twice champion and holds a 16-0 record, has never been knocked out and until Saturday NEVER lost a round. My opinion is that people need to accept the fight results and Machida had said it himself, he will accept a rematch. So I'm happy with the unanimous decision and like I said Saturday, Stop hating it was a great fight and the judges make the decision not you so deal with it, and who knows in the near future there might be a rematch and then we will see WHO really is the champion!!! ( cough-cough Machida) Oh and the Velasquez Vs. Rothwell fight was also "stoped prematurely" but I think it was a fair fight and I liked the results because Rothwell was talking too much about how he would win but he lost by TKO and I guess there would be a rematch for that too and i would still pay $50 to see that go down! 'till later TaTa.
