Anders should win, but this is still within reach of bullshit Brazil judging so he needs to fight with more urgency than this.

ehh i think he's pretty safely won this even accounting for judging incompetence, but honestly this is his upper limit until he tidies up his footwork.

I don't know, I could easily see Machida winning three rounds.

Aversion to being wrong has never had any effect on combat sport judging.

lol, i saw this coming a mile away.

this was not the worst decision ive seen, couple rounds were close, but Anders had to know he needed to hunt for a finish in the 5th round.

I half watched the fight and had Machida taking the 1,2, and 5 but just barely. The Machida magic is most definitely long gone.

"Don't leave it in the hands of the judges" - a brilliant philosophy.

Anders was facing a karate point fighter, he got out-pointed, and 2 judges were along for the ride.
