Lyoto Machida defends the Middleweight title!
Machida would have none of that. That, or Condit went light on Lyotes becuase they are teammates. Or perhaps they are also lovers? Would that explain Condit's complete lack of trying whatsoever here? Mayhaps. Just mayhaps. I mean, if anyone's team would be full of same-sex relationships, it would be Cannon's.
