Another UFC fight another controversy.

Rua and Machida await the decision at UFC 104

It seems like whenever two fighters enter the octagon for a UFC fight these days the chances of a major controversy occurring are about even odds. Last night at UFC 104 in LA, all the signs pointed to a decision victory for Mauricio "Shogun" Rua over the vaunted Lyoto Machida. After all, Rua had dominated the last 2 rounds. Some say he dominated the last three. By the fourth round, Machida looked like he had run into a wall and could barely keep his hands up to defend himself anymore.

We’re just five short days away from UFC 104: Machida vs. Rua. While the main event is sure to provide plenty of fireworks there are also some great fights on the main card, starting with Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell. Velasquez was originally slated to square off against Shane Carwin with the winner moving on to face Brock Lesnar. However, the bout was called off and Carwin will instead face Lesnar at UFC 106. Expect Velasquez to come out PISSED! That fight should be something to behold.
