Just had to reiterate my point about C. Peoples being the worst judge ever...straight from the horses mouth:

"Lyoto made Shogun come after him, he determined where the fight took place which in my opinion constitutes as effective Octagon control."

lol someone pointed out over on TZ, guess that means Kalib Starnes had the best octagon control of all time. What a fucking trash excuse this part was.

"Lyoto was landing the more cleaner and damaging strikes throughout the fight - if you take a look at the judging criteria clean strikes are valued more-so than the quantity of strikes landed. Although Rua threw a lot of low kicks they were not as damaging as Lyotos diverse attack in the earlier rounds which is why I scored the first three rounds for Machida. You have to keep in mind we always the favour the fighter who is trying to finish the fight, and leg kicks certainly don't do that."

Where was the damage on Rua? When was he even staggered once? And if he's sitting so close, how can he not see the giant fucking bruises all over Machida's legs and ribs? I was watching this shit on YOUTUBE and I could see how jacked up his ribs were. So for him not to understand the damage being done there, maybe he needs to get in there and let Shogun wail on his ribcage for a minute. I'm sure a lot of people would pay good money for that.

Only thing I could possibly see as a legitimate point is that you may or may not view leg kicks as trying to finish the fight. But if that's the case, Rampage wins a decision over Forrest just based on rounds where Forrest didn't accomplish what this douchebag feels was effective aggression or whatever the fuck. So where's the consistency?

"I'm just glad the other judges on the panel saw it the same way and I'm sure the fans who understand the technicalities of the sport agree with the decision too."

Well the other judges saw it that way, but nobody else in the building agrees, the fucking BOSS doesn't agree, well known fighters don't agree, and the entire internet has been blowing up with casual and hardcore fans alike calling bullshit.

So yeah conclusion is that Cecil Peoples is a fucking moron. I certainly hope he isn't a judge for the rematch.
 
Yeah no puny American damage for Fedor, lol. Gonna miss the free card this weekend because of the tourney in Buffalo, I'll have to catch it later on. Interested to see what 46 year old Randy looks like against someone his size.
 
This weekend it was all about the Manny-Cotto fight for me and I haven't had the time yet to check results or reruns.

How was it?
