Who gets the Title shot? Rua or Machida?
Machida: Made Bader look like a fool by imitating jackie chan and bruce lee scenes before planting one beautiful punch on the "Master" Bader. (if you dont get it... you havent hit puberty yet.)
Rua: Put in a great, forward running display in a grinding war against a surprisingly solid Vera. This fight was supposed to be one sided. It became a great fight because of Vera. Still, Rua is Rua.. and ended it brutally himself.
Now... who gets the shot? My vote is for Machida.. but did Rua's "walk through hell" approach to get the title back do enough?
