Ian McCall gets a good win. If he ups his game he can get the belt at 125.

 

[Liverlips]

Tom Watson is a tough guy but his wrestling is still really poor. I recall watching TUF alum Jesse Taylor beat Watson a few years ago in a regional show by just taking him down and laying on him.

Very weak card. Cesar Ferreira as the third fight????

I am going to bed after the Davis-Machida match. I am tired and the Aldo-Korean Zombie fight is not going to be competitive. Aldo is a lot better.

 

[Old Scratch]

Machida clearly won, I was surprised to see the Brazilian judges rob a Brazilian fighter but it might have to do with Davis's being black.

Tough luck for the Korean Zombie, Aldo was clearly gassed and fading and he was starting to come on strong he might have got a finish in the 4th or 5th.

 

[Wes Woodhead]

Machida clearly won, I was surprised to see the Brazilian judges rob a Brazilian fighter but it might have to do with Davis's being black.

Of course thats what it is. Are there any examples in UFC history of a black fighter actually getting robbed?

I asked that question on sherdog like three years ago, and the one example that kept comming up was Bas Rutten vs Kevin Randleman at UFC 20 back in 1999.

 

[Old Scratch]

Good point. I don't think I've ever seen a black fighter get robbed of a decision. Cecil Peoples was one of the judges and scored it 30-27 for Davis. Pretty much says it all.

 

[Hawkeye2]

All three judges on sherdog had it 30-27 for Machida. They are also talking about a rematch. Hopefully Cecil People and Adelaide Byrd won't be the judges.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I think other than Henderson-Edgar 2 I can't think of a bigger screw job. Machida certainly won rounds 1 and 3.
