It seems like whenever two fighters enter the octagon for a UFC fight these days the chances of a major controversy occurring are about even odds. Last night at UFC 104 in LA, all the signs pointed to a decision victory for Mauricio "Shogun" Rua over the vaunted Lyoto Machida. After all, Rua had dominated the last 2 rounds. Some say he dominated the last three. By the fourth round, Machida looked like he had run into a wall and could barely keep his hands up to defend himself anymore.

Join us at 8pm this Friday at the exclusive UFC 104 weigh-in party hosted by Nate “the Rock” Quarry!
 
The party is for MMA insiders and will be held at the exquisite LA's Figueroa Hotel—where Casablanca meets ancient Arabia. Other big name fighters and companies will join us including MMA Authority Magazine, XYIENCE, AMR and more. THQ (the makers of UFC Undisputed) will also be there giving away games.
 

We’re just five short days away from UFC 104: Machida vs. Rua. While the main event is sure to provide plenty of fireworks there are also some great fights on the main card, starting with Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell. Velasquez was originally slated to square off against Shane Carwin with the winner moving on to face Brock Lesnar. However, the bout was called off and Carwin will instead face Lesnar at UFC 106. Expect Velasquez to come out PISSED! That fight should be something to behold.
