UFC 104 Results: Lyoto Machida beats Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Watching from the video replays, the 48-47 decision victory for the Champ is surely a very controversial one. The match lasted 5 full rounds and viewers can clearly see a battered Machida. Sports scribes also disagrees with the official decision.

Was it luck or some magic hands at the top? Rua was fighting like mad with all the kicks and punches. He surely hurt the champ who had busted lips and was quite limping afterward. Machida had his time too, mostly defending, but not clearly dominating. I earlier predicted a victory for him. But I am now becoming a Shogun fan too.
