CSAC medical suspensions for Machida and Shogun
Machida : 60 day medical suspension and 60 days no contact
Shogun : ZERO
lol
lol. Machida’s suspension is for a lip lacertion. It’s not like he has a cracked orbital bone or anything
LOL .(bigger lol than your lol doc). yeah but he got a suspension and could barely walk after the fight, loved the ice packs between rounds and in the dressing room. I guess it was the LEG KICKS that cut his lip to his nose and the LEG KICKS that marked up his rib cage,and the LEG KICKS that cut his nose and his eye. Darn those stinkin leg kicks.
Rua blocked almost everything the ch ch ch chia threw at his head, and returned fire every time. Fight Metric shows Rua won the points war, and led the agression, he was stalking and taking the center of the octagon for nearly the entire fight… course Pimples says that Machida dicated the fight… I guess by running away he made Rua follow.. normally that would be a negative since your RUNNING BACKWARDS FROM YOUR OPPONENT, but in Cecil PIMPLES’ world, running is a good thing. I bet he’s a democrat too.. (joking)
I wish Rua would have gone “2006 Grand Prix” on him in that last round, because Chida didn’t have the movement/legs to actually RUN AWAY like he usually does, I think Rua could have put him away at that point but Rua thought EVERYONE ELSE thought.. he was ahead so why risk it.
In other words BV.. your saying Machida incurred INJURIES to led to a post fight temp suspension for his HEALTH for 60 days and SHOGUN didn’t have ANY injuries to incur said suspension on himself? You mean if he wanted to fight tomorrow he could? And ch ch chia couldn’t cause he’s too BANGED UP TO FIGHT FOR 60 DAYS?
LOLZ.. POINT MADE – seriously guys, it’s pretty obvious who won the fight, I just get tired of arguing with stop signs is the only reason I have just let it go…. Shogun will win the rematch, in more convincing fashion too.. so that Cecil (this is boxing with thinner gloves) Pimples will be happy and score correctly.
