Beautiful, thank you TS!
I felt terrible for Shogun after the first Machida fight, he had gone through a rough patch but came back in top form, put on an amazing performance... and Cecil People + his 2 buddies were scoring the fight <{CMPALM}>
(one of the judges did admit that he messed up after rewatching the bout, but too late...)
We're lucky it wasn't just a "once in a lifetime" performance, and that he was able to do it again in the rematch, or that bullshit decision would have even more dire consequences.
Shogun is one of these guys that are impossible to hate on, he never talks shit about anyone (even at the peak of the Chute Boxe vs BTT rivalry he was respectful toward Arona, at the peak of the Chute Boxe vs Hammer House feud he was respectful toward Randleman...), never brags, never makes excuses, always put on an exciting fight....
His 2005 PRIDE run was such a treat to witness.
I hope Mauricio learns from Murilo's mistake, and is able to retire before taking too many hits to the head. Both his knees have been shot for years, I really hope that, win or lose, he can avoid taking too much damage in the future...
