All I can tell you is to watch the fight again. That might make you change your mind.
However, I get the feeling that you are the type of MMA fan that is still fixated on the brutality and recklessness that was a hallmark of the early days of UFC. Only fountains of blood or savage KO's can satisfy your primal urges. Basically you appreciate violence over skill, athleticism and intelligence.
There is no denying that Machida fought a great tactical fight and earned a win via the path of least resistance which was to keep the fight standing and out strike Ortiz from range. Remember that a Decision win is just as much of a win as a KO.
If you can get over your bloodlust then you will discover a very interesting and exciting fighter in Machida.
