Incredibly disapointed with this main event. First of all, I was hoping Fedor would come out very strong. He came out so-so, letting Machida easily take the first round. He came out stronger in round 2 and 3, making them really close. But in round 4, he just lost enough steam to get himself into some trouble. Machida landed some good shots, then suddenly, we have a damn cut stoppage. Machida was winning at that point, but cuts are a pain in the ass.

Incredibly disapointed with this main event. First of all, I was hoping Fedor would come out very strong. He came out so-so, letting Machida easily take the first round. He came out stronger in round 2 and 3, making them really close. But in round 4, he just lost enough steam to get himself into some trouble. Machida landed some good shots, then suddenly, we have a damn cut stoppage. Machida was winning at that point, but cuts are a pain in the ass.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
