re-edited machida score. it really looks like the only guy that i can imagine supporting a machida victory is anderson silva.
i'm pretty much baffled still with all the select few people who think joe rogan swayed the fight when the press is 100% behind rua.

Sports Illustrated (thanks jamers):
Ben Fowlkes - Rua ("They say you have to clearly beat the champion if you want to take his belt. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua seemed to have done just that at UFC 104 on Saturday night, but the mere fact that UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida was still conscious at the end was apparently enough for the judges to give him the victory")
Joss Gross: 48-47 Rua
MMARising / Robert Sargeant (thanks TheEnigma): 49-46
Loretta Hunt (thanks On Letting Go): Rua (" I am very disappointed in the decision. Very upsetting. The sport owes Mauricio "Shogun" Rua a big apology.")
Joe Lauzon: "This is why... You NEVER leave it to the judges, when you finish your opponent, you don't need to worry about judges!"
Shane Carwin: "great night of fights. further proof you have to finish as the judges just can't score MMA"
Frank Trigg: "he [Shogun] got robbed, was looking 4 don king"
Roy Nelson: "I just lost $5 on shogun, I am mad, shogun won 4 rounds to 1"
Kenny Florian: "I love Machida but Shogun won that fight!!"
Efrain Escudero "I'm sorry but shogun won that fight easy"
Rumble Johnson: Rua
Joe Stevenson: Rua
(thanks to Aertz, JRide & karatelarusso for fighters)
FOR MACHIDA: 1*
Anderson Silva... (lol)
+ a couple guys with too many accounts on sherdog.
--------
please note, we all know dana white supported a shogun victory, but i won't be adding him to the list because there are plenty of people who can argue that dana's got an agenda or something. trying to keep all sources as uncontroversial as possible. winner by a landslide: shogun.

 even when machida was asked if he thought he won at the press conf.. He couldnt say yes.

i am at a loss for words with how many people there are defending machida's victory by saying that if there was no commentary, everyone would see it differently.
how does that explain that even though it was a close fight, NOBODY in the press gave it to machida, the majority of whom were NOT watching a PPV at home and could hear the commentary?
blows me away.
