It’s Brazil vs the world in this Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this August 27, 2011. It will mark the long-awaited return of the UFC to Brazil after thirteen years. The main events are Silva vs Okami and Griffin vs Rua.
It’s a busy week and I wanted to watch the UFC 128: Shogun Rua vs Jon Jones fight video replay at Youtube or anywhere where there is available. I read the preflight articles and I thought Rua, who outclassed erstwhile undefeated and UFC Lightheavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida, would strip Jones off his pants. Being the Champ and a veteran of many fights, I gave him high regard. I was also aware of Jones capabilities, and that the odds were for him. But I thought these were just hypes.
For those who haven’t seen the trailer, watch this:

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.
