UFC 163 results Aldo Champion Phil Davis Controversial Win Against Lyoto Machida

Jose Aldo Vs Korean Zombie

Jose Aldo is still the Feather weight champion when he finished the fight against korean zombie in round 3. Aldo immediately established his dominance as soon as he  ignited his attack. I was a bit surprised that Jose Aldo didn't throw a lot of leg kicks which usually his trade mark.

Aldo kept doing and throwing those punches which would also hit his enemy. Mean while Aldo would catch those flying knee's that the Korean Zombie would throw at him. At the same time Aldo would clip and take the korean zombie to the ground.

In round 3 when the korean zombie attempted to throw punch combinations accidentally dislocated his shoulder. While he was trying to recover Jose Aldo unleashed his counter attacks and that made Aldo the winner and retained his title.

Lyoto Machida vs Phil Davis

In my own opinion and based on the match I have watched it was clear that Machida won this fight. Phil Davis had a hard time taking down Machida since Lyoto's take down defense was just amazing. Machida would be able to defend and counter Davis take down attempts.

Davis had some successful take down but it had less value since he was not able to dominate his enemy on the ground. Davis was not able to do some damage as soon as he was able to take down Machida.

Davis take down's have less value since he was not able to capitalize and establish some ground and pound. Machida even defended the submission that Davis had attempted to perform.

At the same time Machida would land significant strikes from counter punches to those leg kicks. Especially that leg kick that keep on hitting Davis head.

Several Times Machida stunned Davis when Lyoto landed those kicks. And they hit the head of Davis which could have a huge damage and impact. Plus on this fight Machida was the aggressor seeing him trying to push the phase and dictate the fight.

Machida got robbed on this and it was clear and what's worse was that you saw he was really trying his best to improve. Plus he got robbed in front of his home crown in Brazil which was a huge slap in the face.
