Thank You,Rashad Evans for being one of the best and most underrated UFC champs. It wasn't your night but, you'll get your belt back. Keep Your head up! Congrats to Matt Serra and Matt Hughes for giving us a classic UFC bout.

How is it that no matter what is being discussed Obama is not only mentioned, but mentioned in the negative? I really didn't care who won because they are both excellent fighters that deserved to win. Not to mention, they are both yummy. And while you're talking livetoday305, I bet you voted for McCain because he is white, so get a life and turn some of that negative energy into a better existence for yourself. Better yet, turn that negative energy into educating yourself, you can't spell a lick.

Lyoto Machida deserved to be the champion! He is the best! He was the 1st one who defeated Rich Franklin. He should be the champ long time ago. The champ will keep his belt for a long time!
