You're right, looks like a total robbery.

Honestly, I was rooting for Machida to win and even with me siding towards him the whole fight... I know there is no way he won it. I personally had it scored four rounds to one.
And to those who are saying to be the champ you have to BEAT the champ.... watch any other Machida fight. Rua beat him hands down. Machida looked uncomfortable the whole fight, and his ribs weren't looking too pretty either.
