Is Lyoto Machida the first guy to ever win rounds vs Weidman?

[TonyAlvein]

He was already the first against Jones. Anyone can confirm this information about Weidman?

 

[TASTEofmySCYTHE]

Didn't Bonnar take a round before Lyoto?

Yes TS I believe that is the case, Lyoto is the first and I believe only so far.

Supposedly that was a mistake in the announcement and Weidman was the unanimous winner, but Maia was given rounds.

Ugh. I've tried to forget that fight. That third round was hard to watch.

 

[Melas Chasma]

Bonnar won the third against Jones. Jones was lucky it wasnt a 5 rounder.

 

[Pwent]

the judges gave jones round 1 against machida. machida didnt win a

rashad won a round agains jones tho

 

[TSK]

It looks like he beat Sakara 30-27 according to wikipedia but I could have sworn Sakara won the first round. I remember him outstriking Weidman that round.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

He didn't win the first round against Jones.

 

[TonyAlvein]

[Shrug] personally I agree with you. However I believe the other posters are overstating it as the judges split on who won the 1st round.

 

[rush61]

He didn't win the first round against Jones.

Not according to the judges but cmon now.

It was a mistaken announcement. Simply checking Sherdog's Fight Finder or FightMetric will show this (or even either fighter's Wiki pages which pull their info from SD's Fight Finder anyway, but Wiki pages are editable to the public if they're not locked).
