Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio Rua: Biggest Robbery Ever!

I just witnessed the biggest robbery ever in the history of UFC between Lyoto “Dragon” Machida & Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

I’m sure you can find a video of this fight somewhere online, but I had it at 50-45 for Shogun. The karateman got beat up.

At the end of the fight, you can clearly see that Machida thought he had lost the fight. Unfortunately, the UFC judges are blind enough not to see that Machida got smoked by Rua and awarded him a UNANIMOUS decision.

I’m not the only one who thinks Rua got robbed. Check out these vids below:
