I know the guy is the poster child for shitty decisions, but this guy is catching ALL the flack over the Rua/Machida decision.

he wasnt the only judged that scored it for Machida.

[SPX]

I noticed that. I'm sure it's because a) he has name recognition, and b) he was the only one to publically release his comments about why he scored the fight the way he did.

It would've been a lot better if it was another judge who spoke up.

[SPX]

Another thing that's pissing me off is how everyone is on Lyoto's ass. I would agree that he is probably not handling the situation as diplomatically as possible, but the fact is that the judges gave him the fight. People all over Sherdog are saying shit like he should "admit he got beat" and should "hand over the belt."

Seriously? Get the fuck out with that shit! He barely escaped with his perfect record intact and he may very well personally feel that he did win that fight. Can't fault him for that.

[Mr. IWS]

Yeah, I cant hate on Lyoto at all. WTF they want him to do, give up the belt?

I agree bad bad decisions are never the fighters fault .Lyoto might think he won I dont expect him to say anything about it.He probably knows he was lucky
