UFC 104: Breaking down Machida vs. Rua

According to an article written by Eric Kamander of MMARatings.net, "Yesterday I brought up the appearance of impropriety as the UFC's, and MMA's, single biggest obstacle. And specifically I was referring to this appearance as the result of inconsistent, or even faulty, officiating. As I mentioned it seems that after every event there is some controversy over the refereeing or judging. But how much of that is the fault of the officials, and how much is simply a matter of ambiguous rules. For now let's take a look at that some of the ambiguity that goes into judging for fans and officials alike."

He has an interesting and detailed chart of the strikes that landed during this very controversal fight - I think anyone who's interested in researching the truth behind the reasoning Judges Rosales, Peeples and Hamilton had for awarding this win to Lyoto Machida should read this article.
