Let's be serious. The fight was close and wasn't an impressive victory on Machida's part. Machida would of got one if he had defeated Davis which was the fight after. Rashad wasn't getting a title shot because he was coming off 2 back to back losses and the fight with Hendo was close and not an impressive victory. Shogun wasn't going to because he was 2-3 in his last 5. A win over Hendo will make him 3-3 in 6 fights which is not impressive. Stop skewing history to try make your point valid.
I'm not skewing history. Machida clearly beat him. Dan was 4-1 in his last fight but it wasn't enough for a title shot. Saying that if he beat Davis he would've gotten a shot is you agreeing with me.
Beating 4-1 Dan isn't enough for a title shot, but beating 2-3 Dan is? Really?
