Anyone with a decent modicum of MMA knowledge will know that Shogun was robbed of the UFC light heavyweight title. Anyone care to disagree (thought here is a depressingly small community of MMA fans here in DDO)?

I just read about it after seeing the headline on a news site.

The president of the company (UFC) apparently thought the loser should have won, so I guess this supports your theory.

The fact that this is already "104" is hilarious, though.

Agreed. Shogun punished Machida with those leg kicks. Machida's long stance was begging for it, he was out of that fight completely in the last two rounds.

The only round I could honestly of seen him taking was maybe the third.

Even though he lost, thank you Shogun for proving Muay Thai > Karate

So what happens? Do they take back the win?

No, usually the judges decisions are final (unless foul play is found of course). Athletic commissions and referee's are usually very annoying that way >.>

But yeah, Dana White believed Shogun won (and pretty much every freaking person there), so he said there's going to be a definite rematch. Which shows something, because rematches over a title usually happen only when the champion loses.
