Machida is really good but apart from the Soko fight he has been extremely boring and that sucks. I do not think people are scared of him they just think that he will win by decision because they would get so frustrated running after him that they would give him a few points just to feel like they are in a fight

he's like the Floyd Mayweather of MMA... he's a defensive genius and the moment you try to go on the offense and get aggressive, you get a knee straight to your liver and thrown like a ragdoll around the cage, ask Tito. He's nice with the hands and has a good ground game as well... he might be the most complete fighter in MMA right now.

Beautiful Post.

I liken this to a conspiracy theory, which to me equates to utter bullsh@%.

If Machida is only asserting that they prefer to have Chuck with the belt, then fine.

But if he's asserting that "they" (Dana/Joe Silva/Zuffa) fixed this decision so that Forrest would win, then he's full of sh**, and is clueless.

Let's look at what would also have to be fixed in order to make Chuck the next champion(again):

1. The Rampage/Forrest fight is fixed.
2. Either the Evans/Liddel fight is fixed or Chuck's next two fights are fixed.
3. The next title fight, assuming Chuck wins a fixed fight with Evans, is fixed

That's just asinine. Let's stop, please, I'm begging you, with the assertions that, a decision, no matter how much you may disagree with it, is fixed and is part of a larger plan.
