Round 2 a draw or for Lyoto. Chris got outstruck.

5 Lyoto. He did a lot more.
I score the fight a draw.
No it wasn't and no he didn't

LOL
I'm a big Machida fan but Chris did win the fight.
Glad you're not a judge either bro! Machida's face got messed up in Rds 2-3. But hey guess what, Lyoto had Chris against the cage and did nothing with it until he decided to last minute flurry him. Then he got taken down again. Judges love takedowns and when you td a guy who rarely gets td, it looks better in their eyes. Also, Machida pushed forward more than Ive ever seen him. With that being said, it was a close fight, I was rooting for Machida, and just like in bb when a tie goes to the runner Weidman did enough to defend his belt. Most educated MMA fans know by now not to question the judges especially when the champ gets a fifth rd td. /thread
Rewatching the fight I see what you mean.
Round2 toss up. Lyoto wins striking. Weidman lands a takedown and doesn't do much with it. Lyoto gets up.
I gave 4 and 5 to lyoto. He did more.
Fight is a draw imo.

Yes he did. Lyoto landed the only damaging strikes in the round.
Absolute garbage. I would suggest you watch the round again without the beer/weed goggles that you had on the first time you watched it. The Chris landed as many meaningful strikes + had a takedown+side control+mount+back mount......so he clearly won round 5.
This fight was super exciting, but Weidman won 4 rounds to 1.
