By Tim Ngo UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida doesn’t know what was more hectic, the treacherous training camp he endured for his first title defense at UFC 104 or the week since the bout where he was forced to justify his controversial unanimous decision win over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

By Tom Ngo UFC president Dana White was sitting front and center watching the 5Round affair and he appeared to be the most  disappointed fan of them all.  So discouraged that he was pushing for an immediate do-over at the UFC 104 post-fight presser.

By Chart Topper On Tuesday the actual gate totals, fighter payouts, and fighter suspension were made available from this past weekends UFC 104 event, headlined by a light-heavyweight title fight between Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

By Chart Topper Both Shogun Rua and current UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida think they won the fight, with most observers siding with Rua. Recently Machida spoke to Sherdog about the decision, and also about a hand injury suffered during the bout: “I thought it was a very even and tough fight. I had the opportunity to see the fight again and I thought I won four rounds and Shogun took the last one. Some people say he won the fourth and fifth round, but for sure I won at least the first three rounds. The American commentators were pretty much biased. If you see the fight without audio, you will probably see a different fight.   [read the full post]

By Todd Jackson Consider for a moment Georges St. Pierre.  One hiccup in that last four years is all he has had.  It was one moment in time set aside for another man to reign atop the division.  The short time frame that showed someone other than St. Pierre with the welterweight strap was a mere flash in the pan. 

By Steve Cofield When both fighters are engaged in a striking match what I always look for is the fighter who is being judicious, picking his spots, being accurate and landing the cleaner strikes which ultimately is what Lyoto did more effectively than Rua.

By Kid Nate There has not been a successful defense of the UFC 205lb belt since Jackson upset long-time champ Chuck Liddell exactly two years ago. Many believe that Machida has the formidable skill-set to be the dominant champion the division has awaited.

By Tony A I think Machida will control the pace of the fight as he has been doing in all of his UFC fights. Evans always starts very cautiously as seen in the Ortiz, Liddell and Griffin fights.  Rashad likes to measure his opponent than attack, as he demonstrated with Chuck and Griffin.
