Probably because he took a worse beating than we thought and the doctors are holding him out so that he doesn’t hurt himself.

I saw that, why is he medically suspended?

The latest word is that Machida has a medical suspension of 60 days, which would put him out until late December. I’m not sure they could turn him around that quickly.

Maybe February or March?

If current word is true that the match will be at 108, along with Lesnar, than my fears are appeased.

D and I are almost ready to do another FGB Radio where we talk about Machida/Shogun. I’ll link it up later today.

As for as a rematch goes, this thing is going to headline a show. There’s too much interest for them to have to do a double main event show.

They should also do it as soon as possible to take advantage of all the buzz they’re getting out of it.

I’ve been thinking about the rematch.

I hope this fight goes on the same card as Silva-Belfort (or whoever). I want to see this fight again but as a headline I worry we will see another “too close to call” decision. Another belt on the line (or a way better co-main event than 104) would help convince me to pay again.

It’s hard for me to say robbery when three of those five rounds were close. And when the majority opinion is the one that turns out to be incorrect, people go crazy.

To me, this was more similar to Rampage vs. Forrest than any real robbery.

I had it exactly the same, 49-46 in favor of Shogun. I thought it was obvious enough. Even Rogan and Goldberg were moving ahead to the hypothetical matches for Shogun with the belt, perhaps against Anderson.

That was a robbery; these judges are looking to hard I think. When the whole audience, the UFC President, both announcers and Machida (i suspect) believe Shogun won, then its the judges problem.

Immediate rematch is the best option, with different judges who aren’t total morons.

I answered you in the other thread, but I agree that Shogun should’ve won. I had him 49-46.
