| That's right Lyoto Machida is the NEW undisputed, undefeated light heavyweight champion! For like the first 3 minutes nothing happened, just a lot of moving around as was expected. But then Lyoto tagged Rashad with his straight left and Rashad went down. Lyoto tried to finish but Rashad recovered well and nothing good happened the rest of the round. Now in the 2nd round it started off the same, but then Lyoto lands another straight left and Rashad goes down and Lyoto is trying to finish him but Rashad is trying to scramble although you can tell he is badly hurt, then he gets up and goes against the cage, and Lyogo just goes in with vicious combinations and Rashad was pretty much out on his feet. The last punch that Lyoto landed just completely knocked out Rashad, giving him his first loss and by KO. It's also nice to see the people chanting for Machida, and I suspect even more people will like him after knocking out Rashad. The Hughes/Serra fight was also interesting. Although Hughes won the fight by unanimous decision, it could be made a case that Serra won that fight. A headbutt might have been what caused Hughes to get knocked down in the first round and that is something that might have changed the scorecards. The 2nd round was pretty much Hughes on top of Serra not landing very much, but still in the better position. Now in the last round Hughes took down Serra early, but did not land a lot and the fight was stood up. Serra then actually took Hughes down and landed a couple punches and the fight ended with Serra looking for a kimura and Hughes attemping to reverse and take Serra down. IMO this fight should have been a draw. Sherk getting picked apart the whole fight was a big surprise to me, but this is a big win for Frank Edgar. Also WOW at Drew Mcfedries power, I knew someone was getting knocked out here hah. All in all I thought this was a pretty good show, with the era of Machida beginning.
