In meaningless non-significant strikes.

Machida had more actual damage inflicting significant strikes.

lol can't wait for Hendo fanboys to spin this as Hendo winning even though Fightmetric has Machida dominating.

But but but MACHIDA IS TECHNICAL! You fucking Just Bleed fans.

Just throwing it out there. I had Henderson winning and the only argument I've seen for Machida winning was that he outlanded Henderson when Henderson actually outlanded him almost 2:1

 

[BayStyles]

i'm guessing it was from his leg kicks, because most of the punches he threw whiffed

 

[robjenkins2]

Machida landed all the hard shots, dictated the pace and had control. Hendo swinging at air is not winning rounds. Lyoto hit Dan hard and clean multiple times, but Dan is Dan.

Machida won the race though!

im willing to admit im more of a hendo fan and i have only watched the fight one time live... but ...
i think hendo won the fight i have a real hard time giving machida the first or third round .
espically the first round.
at the best the first round could be argued a 10- 10 but thats a streach

 

[YoullDoNuttin]

30-27.

 

[EliteLurker]

The website you're linking even thought Machida won.

And the dancing

I know Fightmetric has Machida winning, just throwing it out there that everyone who says Henderson didn't hit Machida is wrong. He outlanded him 2:1

And the dancing

I was hoping that was implied.

Agreed 100%

Machida ran the entire fight. That is not aggression or octagon control. Had Forrest been throwing that many leg kicks, Rogan would have been going apeshit and everybody would be complaining that Hendo got robbed.

why ? there was not enough action , and machida secured a takedown

 

[Disco Albino]

So I guess fightmetric probably scored it for Hendo, right?
