The Ultimate Fighter is going to...the Middle East?

The Ultimate Fighter is going to...the Middle East?

There's this episode of Man vs. Wild where Bear Grylls cuts open a dead camel, slices the stomach, scoops the grass in his belly and squeezes the water in his mouth. After drinking the contents of this dead camel's stomach, he continues to cut open the camel and crawls inside of it to sleep inside...

Alright, so Phil Baroni was a little drunk last weekend...

Last week, Phil Baroni made a little celebrity appearance in Mexico City where he informed the locals that those Aztec pyramids are pretty cool, but he is in fact 'the best evah'. According to Baroni, he made a trip south of the border to 'clear his mind' for his next fight in the UFC. This past w...

Chael Sonnen thinks you forgot what 'UFC' stands for

I'm sure you've probably stayed up late at night and tried to figure out what type of name 'Chael Sonnen' is. His mother chose his first name because it was the last five letters of the name 'Michael'. As far his last name, Sonnen's are heavily distributed throughout Texas and Pennsylvania. The la...

MiddleEasy sort of blew it's proverbial load with our list of Top Ten Fighters You Should Build a Shrine To. If you haven't checked it out (and there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't have), it's a sleek little list of MMA fighters that are entirely too rawesome for the sport. Somehow, in the f...

Yoshida is retiring, but he wants to do it in the most ballerish way possible

You guys know Hidehiko Yoshida. Destroyer of worlds, gobbler of galaxies, jambler of Jenga towers. Dude was like a +325 underdog in his Dynamite!! 2009 fight with Satoshi Ishii. For some reason, people thought that a guy with a 0-0 MMA record would steam roll over a dude that went toe to toe with ...

The Michael Jordan of Sumo is coming to MMA

The Michael Jordan of Sumo is coming to MMA

Sumotori Asashoryu, the Michael Jordan of Sumo, just retired last week and immediately Sengoku and Dream are eyeing him with some interest to join their respective rosters (Super Hulk Tournament 2010 anyone?). Asashoryu holds Sumo's highest title of Yokozuna and has won twenty five emperor cups! T...

So that's what Tito said...

So that's what Tito said...

Last night, Joe Rogan said Tito Ortiz had a 10th degree black belt in drama. I wonder where you get those. Actually, no I don't. I don't waste my time wondering about insignificant, theoretical martial-arts belts. It's just not what I do. I prefer to create articles based on what some guy said whe...

RIP Hammerhouse

RIP Hammerhouse

Well there you have it folks. Mark Coleman is finished. Done. Hammerhouse can retire in the back of whatever fictional garage it was housed under. As I was typing this, Tito Ortz was walking through the crowd and yelled something obscene at Mark Coleman. Mark looked back said '[Expletive] you' the...

With Wallid Ismail in your corner, the world is yours

Wallid Ismail needs to break down Mark Coleman's door one night and steal his nickname from whatever file cabinet he keeps it in. If the world is ill, Wallid Ismail is the true antidote. If Jesus works in mysterious ways, Wallid Ismail works by grabbing the microphone and saying whatever the hell ...

Matt Serra terrorized Frank Trigg

Matt Serra terrorized Frank Trigg

If Frank Trigg won, the title would have been 'Frank Trigg calculates Matt Serra' but it just doesn't roll off the tongue (or make any sense). It's a bummer that our Twitter buddy (and Jaco Clothing fighter) lost tonight but on the bright side...Matt Serra used a Lord of the Ring's reference in hi...

Lyoto Machida believes Joe Rogan is biased PDF Print E-mail
Written by Zeus   
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 13:33

Even though it's been less than a week since Machida grabbed the W over Shogun at UFC 104, my spidey-sense tells me that you're tired of hearing about the outcome that had you throwing beers at the TV, Mach Sakurai style. Lyoto Machida finally spoke out about his controversial win and he believes he won four rounds and he says Goldberg and Rogan were biased and you should probably watch the fight without any sound. Seriously.

“I had the opportunity to see the fight again and I thought I won four rounds and Shogun took the last one. Some people say he won the 4th and 5th round, but for sure I won at least the first three rounds.”

“The American commentators were pretty much biased. If you see the fight without audio, you will probably see a different fight...Shogun was a great opponent and had a nice strategy. He deserves all my respect as a fighter, but I was superior.”

Screw watching Machida vs. Shogun without sound, try syncing it with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Right when the 'Time' guitar solo starts you can totally see Machida's legs start to bruise. [Source]

hahaha! I think that every fan is bias about what Joe Rogan and his gay lover Mike Goldberg's bias are. Watching the fight again they had pleanty of good things to say about Machida. They started off talking about how America loves the "Karate Kid" aspect of Machida. And that when Shogun hits Machida, "he looks suprised because he is not use to ever being touched." And two or three times Goldberg asks Rogan," Does he think that Machida took the last few rounds." And the only way that Rogan replies every time is," Lets just say that I am glad that it is not my job to be judging this fight right now." Yeah when shogun would kick Machida they would go nuts but who wasn't going nuts watching that shit it was ill..
I just laugh because when you watch the fight Rogan and Goldberg actually talk up Machida a lot in the fight imo.

Funny, 16,000 people in the arena never heard a word of Joe & Mike and they still booed you, oh Grand Master.

Let me tell you something, if listening to two idiots during a fight influences your opinion on it's outcome, you've got bigger fucking problems than whether Shogun deserved the win or not.

Machida's really butthurt about people questioning his win and his "invincible/undefeatable aura" being broken, and the more he gets upset over it the more it calls it into question.

Shut the fuck up and stop whining. This just reveals how fake this asshole is. Talks non-stop bullshit about "honour" & "respect" and the "noble Karate kid" image but then when he receives an ounce of criticism for the first time in his life, the guy goes apeshit and lashes out at commentators and fans.

Pretty much agreed with what u said, but just to add a bit more, I watched the fight with mexican commentors, and one of them is a well respected jiujitsu teacher in my country and they all agreed Shogun won the fight, and the members of my family who were wtaching the match were pretty sure it was a wrong decision giving Machida the win, so that´s all about it with this excuse Machida is making, and it is also funny how he avoided talk about this, and now that he does sounds like he went to search internet forums and copied and pasted the allegations the crazy machida fans were making up,

well....i'm sure rua did win the fight....however, joe rogan is obviously biased. there have been many fights where it seemed like you could tell which fighter rogan was going drinking with afterwards...you know, like his buddies. i really can't stand him either.

I watched this fight at hooters and I could not hear a thing except for the sound of shin smacking against Machida's thighs. Sorry Machida, I still scored all rounds but the third for Rua. You just backed away, defended take downs for 25 mins, and got outstruck so bad that it was ridonkulous.

Machida vs Rua II : Rua by KO in the 1st.

Damn straight all around. Who gives a shit what Rogan thinks? He's color commentary more than anything, and Goldberg has ALWAYS been laughable. He excells at comentating women's beach volleyball though, go figure. LOL. Listen, every one of my coaches in each disciple saw Shogun winning this 3 if not 4 rounds to 1. Machida is a runner/counter striker guy and Shogun's game plan was damn near perfect, because he simply didn't give him time to counter as much as he usually does to everyone else and Shogun pressed him the entire fight. If Forrest Griffin took Quinton's belt via leg kick victory, then Shogun should be wearing 3.

Rogan was biased towards shogun in every interaction they had.

Want a CLEAR CUT EXAMPLE.

round 2 at 1:29

shogun starts one his (AMAZING WTF PWANGE KICKS) by moving his right hand (not sure if he raises it up first or just drops it)

Machida starts one of his (RUN AWAY LOSER) left punchs by taking a small step forward.

shoguns leg comes up into machida mid section (joe rogan cums his pants, never mind that machida step inside throws off most of shoguns power)

Machida left hits shoguns chin as he accelerats into it compeltly unprotected.

Joe rogan talks about how AMAZING the body kick was, never mind that shogun could have been knocked out right there.

Basically you people have it backwards shogun played it conservative, machida tried to actual end the fight.

This is all meaningless dripple though, the re-match will be amazing and i welcome it
