RIO DE JANEIRO – Judging by the chorus of boos raining down in HSBC Arena, the nearly 14,000 fans who saw Saturday night’s Phil Davis (19-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) vs. Lyoto Machida (12-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC), matchup believe the wrong winner was announced. Machida, himself, deferred to the crowd’s expertise in defending his case. But he admits he thinks the judges did indeed make an error. “I believe Phil was not looking to attack, was not going forward and was trying to score points at the end of rounds,” Machida said. “But this is not a wrestling match. This is MMA, and I think that the judges need to be more attentive to details. They need to look for who is going forward the most
