Actually @jm Hendo is dead on. Hendo chased Machida around and Machida "won." You have to give it to Machida though he did a great job of not fighting.

@LynxGuy

"Good, she didn't deserve it.  Kenny earned that SotN."

Seriously? 

Yeah, Kenny pulled of a weird hamstring thingy (which I think was more fluke positioning than actual technique) but it had implications on more or less nothing. You're comparing that to an exciting armbar (please tell me which sub you held you breathe to, Kenny's or Ronda's), with 10 seconds to 1st round bell, in a historic title fight after she'd almost got RNC'd????

Seriously? The only reason Ronda didn't get SOTN was because after stuffing her down everyone's throats and giving her a belt Dana didn't want it to look like the UFC's giving Ronda EVERYTHING ... a bit of affirmative action going on here.

I'm sure she'll get a pretty nice one of those famous behind the scenes bonus checks though.

Have to agree with you @yossgold, even though I didn't see most of the fights. Rousey deserved it, if for no other reason than she managed the same sub for the 7th time when her opponents know exactly what's coming.

Fariel's post fight interviews were him making sure everyone blew the UFC for not being cut.

@StealingFire, really???? Then they must have fought again because their fight that I saw was great and nothing like Hendo/Machida ...
