Machida looked a bit better checking some kicks and getting take downs, but it is irrelevant since he got knocked out cold after getting mounted after tripping.
R:5 A:3- S:3 T:3
This was an epic matchup that was over before it had much chance to develop, leaving me a little deflated. Not as deflated as Machida though.
