Unbelievable! Lyoto lost this fight! Betting sites will explode!
It was relatively even, with a Machida upper-hand, until this flash-submission. Even after losing this fight, Machida did more damage. But MacDonald did his thing and stuck to takedowns. That is his key to beating Machida here and he used it. Using your advantage is key to winning the big fights.
