I don't follow UFC or MMA in general, but I have to say that Korean Zombie is the dumbest nickname I have ever heard. Dumbest? It's awesome! Way better than generic stuff like "The Mauler" or whatever.

Davis did a lot better than expected by yeah he didn't win that one.

No idea how Davis got a unanimous decision there. That is truly bizarre scoring.

I can't believe Machida lost that decision in Brazil. His lack of aggression definitely hurts him but he won all three rounds.

And UFC throws a PPV title match away to a Phil Davis "GSP" level dull victory.

And UFC throws a PPV title match away to a Phil Davis "GSP" level dull victory. Even if Machida got the victory, which he should have, he doesn't deserve a title shot based on his last two fights. Completely lackluster and the way Bones destroyed him the first time gives Machida no credibility at all.

Agreed. Neither Davis or Machida should get the next title fight. When Glover Texiara beats Ryan Bader, and he will, he should get the next title shot.

This fight is either going to be awesome or over quick.

Completely lackluster and the way Bones destroyed him the first time gives Machida no credibility at all. I'll agree his last fight with Henderson was amazingly dull, but his other fight was a 2nd Round KO of Ryan Bader that was a typical Machida fight until the winning strike...but he was declared the top contender for a title fight right there. The UFC just needs to stop calling people title contenders and then getting their britches in a bunch when the person doesn't want to spend their shot on a last second fight they aren't properly prepared to compete in. Besides, if Bigfoot gets a title shot (AKA a "Please give Cain an easy win so he doesn't screw it up in the first defense" fight), then Machida more than deserved one til tonight's bad decision. Sidenote: It won't last long but Machida's wiki page says he lost via "Robbery."

Funnily enough JDS and the Brazilian announcers all said they thought Davis won.

Way better than generic stuff like "The Mauler" or whatever. I can see how it's effective, it made an impression on me, whereas "The Mauler" I wouldn't even notice. But I still think sounds dumb, I guess it's just so dumb to make that it catches my attention, and other people actually like it so win-win-lose (I lose).

Hopefully KZ's game plan isn't simply take a beating and hope that Aldo gasses by 3rd or 4th rounds.

How do you stop a Zombie? By separating it's shoulder.
...wait, what?

As for Davis/Machida, here's the stats, which actually do favor Davis.
