Machida is one of the big what ifs in mma for me. What if he went to middleweight earlier? I think he would have beat all the guys Anderson beat and racked up defenses . What if no lame decision robberies. He should have won at least one of the Davis or rampage decisions.100% agreed.
I think if he had retired after winning the belt at 15-0 we'd consider him the GOAT LHW probably.
Also had the first shogun fight not been labeled a robbery by fans and Rogan bias commentary...would he have been as aggressive in the rematch? That fight was like volk vs max for me. 3 toss up rounds and 2 clear rounds. Although I think round 5 was super close too.
