Joe Rogan is right that Machida's win was more impressive... sort of.
Machida dominated more.
But Shogun ate so many shots and looked fine and also got out of a submission. Vera's face was messed up after the first or second round.
Machida is great and I wouldn't mind seeing him
fight Bones but I'd love to see Shogun jget one more shot a few months from now when he'll probably be fully recovered.
I think Bones beats Shogun easy. Dragon at least has a shot.
To be fair, Rua knocked Machida out in their second fight after Machida won by decision in their first fight. Machida has recently been free falling with no excuse for it but Shogun has been fighting off major surgeries.
But looks like Dana is saying Machida. Glad Dana is a man of his word.... "The winner of the Shogun and Vera fight gets the shot. Nevermind, I'm just going to do what the fans say".
UFC is great but personally, I can't stand Dana White. He learned a lot from Vince McMahon.

Randy Couture gets it.
Rua ate shots, looked fine. Almost submitted, got out of it.
Everytime it looked like Rua was in trouble, he rebounded to whoop Vera's ass.
Jon Jones said Machida isn't a challenge before and he's figured out the puzzle and Machida himself basically said the fight will happen the same way if they fight again and Jones is just better.
Can't wait to watch Jones beat the same Machida he beat before.... then he'll forfeit the title to go Heavyweight and we'll never see a healthy Shogun vs. Bones. That would be the worst.
Machida gave Jones trouble before the choke. Bones destroyed shogun.
I like shogun better. But it's who I think can win not who I like.

Styles make fights. Dragon has better shot against Bones. I think Shogun would beat Dragon again.
