Only reason I said Phil barely won the first is Machida's "big" flurry appeared to be about 1 sort of clean strike and a bunch of whiffs/arm shots. He really did no damage to Davis until the 3rd when he landed a couple knees that seemed to be taking a toll.Lyoto did have his big flurry in the first but Phil also had the TD, and some decent G/P.
This makes it really easy for DFW. Cormier needs to beat Fat Roy and he'll be next up for Jones (as long as Jones beats Gustaffson, which he will).Maybe its a good thing though as I would not be interested in watching Machida get destroyed by Bones Jones again.
That's how I scored it. But if this was an alternative universe where scoring rounds as a draw I would've scored it a draw the first, 2nd for Davis and 3rd for MAchida and made the fight a draw like it really was.See, this is where it got muddy then. Sammiel and I in IRC scored the first for Machida, 2nd for Davis, 3rd for Machida.
