Shogun definitely put up a good fight and a unanimous decision was a surprise, but I'm sayin that Lyoto won the fight no matter how you look at it. Shogun had a good strategy and his kicking game was hard half the time, I think he deserves a rematch for sure, but Machida won the technical side of the fight, which is how he wins all of his decisions. Ignore joe rogan creaming his panties every time Shogun threw a kick and just watch the action; Machida gets in more hits and stayed smart and calculated for most of the fight.
