84 landed stikes for shogun ...
42 landed strikes for machida
more power shots too .. hard kicks etc..
machida won because shogun was a 4:1 underdog and a lot of smart money was on him in vegas ..
the 2 owners of the UFC also own "station casinos" in Vegas .. these 2 italian guys ..
1 of the owners has very tight connections with the csac and the nsca ..
so, its obvious what happened ..
it was easier to pay off 3 judges instead of about 10,000 people who had a shitload of money riding on shogun for the win
this is the worse decision in the history of the sport
