Machida had as many actual title defenses as Matt Serra. Which is to say none really. Shogun destroyed his legs and should have won the first fight. This was further proven by Shogun's vicious knockout in the 2nd fight. (Post gif for brownie points"
Machida was boring AF and was able to look great against fighters with atrocious gamelans and fight iq's.
The Moose fight was his last hurrah I suppose and it personally doesn't bother me a bit. Just another boring decision win from the bicycler.
Contrast his boring evasive paper thin style held aloft solely by the hype machine Joe Rogan and his ability to say "OHHHHHH He CAUGHT EM!!!" at the top of his lungs after every little hit from the karate kick boxer.
Moose tooled Weidman and has a win over Jacare. Machida's best win is Rashad Evans and has nothing close to some of the amazing performances by the man with the Fedor mystique, Moose.
