What did Hendo do again besides trying to land one punch?

Yeah, Dan looked like a plodding bum.
Lyoto looked like he was only doing enough to win the fight.
zzzz division sucks.

Dan fought balls out like always and rushed forward showing no respect for Lyoto's power. Hes the one who tried to make a fight out of it.
Lyoto has zero chance against Jones.

Easy 29-28 Machida. Not a great fight by any means though. Lol everyone having a go Machida though. What did Dan do? Not Machida's fault Dan is too slow and one dimensional. Relies way too much on his right hand and doesnt bother with anything else except a leg kick.

Great fight ! I loved it. That's what you a technical striking display by machida ! What did dan do in that right ? Nothing he landed NOTHING! Every time he came in Kyoto ,and 2 hards and avoided all dans!
I was on the edge of my seat for the whole fight . I guess we are back to the if you can't appreciate the skill of lyoto then please don't watch him and go watch some brawlers.

Do your homework breh, that's classic Machida the unbeaten rubix cube, the puzzle the most elusive man in MMA and he will take back the title!

As usual, where others seem to see boringness and nothing happening, I see great tactical striking and beautiful technique.
Several knees clean to the gut, plenty of counter strikes right to the chops ( masked by the fact that Hendo could eat them ), two front kicks that landed, and several body kicks that all landed home.
Hendo is clearly a man of iron, but he was regularly caught with a variety of strikes all throughout. Maybe wasn't as noticeable since he was able to run through a lot of them.
Who's face was messed up though, and who was it that had no real answer to a fighter who was connecting with him at a decent regularity ?
At most, Dan landed 2-3 decent leg strikes, and next to no head shots at all.

Very unimpressive fight, with lots of dumbass shit from both fighters, especially Hendo. The leg kicks were connecting every time...so let's stop doing them and just try to setup that right hand. Oh yeah, and be sure to let Machida circle away from the fence when you spent the last 45 seconds getting him there, just so you can spend the next minute doing it all over again. The stupid, it hurts. As for Machida, body kicks you dumbass, throw more of them because they land every time and it kills Hendo's cardio. And do not fight as a righty since that's just giving Hendo an easier time to land his right hand. And of course Hendo never saw that, every time Machida went to an orthodox stance he should've gone leg kick right hand, but he never did.
Goddamnit that fight was frustrating to watch. So many basic mistakes and missed opportunities.

Dan didn't try for anything? He came forward most all the fight and threw and threw and kicked and kicked. It is just hard for a 42 year old man to catch a kid on his bike. Dan didn't throw for a minute and Machida stood 7 feet away throwing dumb jump kicks. He was deathly afraid to get anywhere near Dan.
Machida's feet probably ache more than anything on Dan's body. That was Guida-esque.
I doubt he gets a title shot. dana will go off.

Actually move forward and throw shots. Clinched and threw knees multiple times. Took Lyoto down.
Lyoto did the last 2 with Hendo but forgot about that first part. The fight was garbage. It wasn't smart. It wasn't technical. It was one man doing everything to not fight and praying that the judges would score it his way.
