at the outrage at the decision. I thought Shogun narrowly won it but neither guy dominated and Machida got the decision cos he's the champion.
It's hardly the 'worst decision ever' like some people are saying.

It was 'possibly' one of the worst decisions ever in UFC. Its becomming more and more like boxing now.
There will definatly be a rematch and Machida will come off with a win, he now knows where his weak points were with Hua and wont allow the low kicks next time.
