LOS ANGELES – Referee and judge Cecil Peoples has no doubts he scored the main event of Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio Rua correctly, though he admits he struggled with the first round of the fight.
Minutes after the judges’ decision announced Machida the winner at UFC 104, boos showered Los Angeles’ Staples Center. Reporters collectively scratched their heads. On the Wikipedia entry for the card, someone slipped “fixed fight” beside the decision for Machida.
UFC president Dana White thought Rua won and greenlighted an immediate rematch.
Peoples, 61, has often been the target of fan outcry for his judging, or perceived lack thereof. He attributes the attacks to his kickboxing background and a memorable name (which is always announced last, he claims).
“The fans and all the naysayers, I don’t worry about,” he said. “I don’t back down because it’s not popular.”

sorry dude but i couldnt understand a single word you said with all the gramatical errors you have on there. i seen the fight 4 times and they all showed me the same thing, that Shogun got ROBBED. I wouldnt doubt if Machida got a few broken ribs and his legs were beaten to a pulp.

It was clear that shogun had done a lot more damage in the final two rounds, but the first three rounds had already been decided. The judges can't go back and change it in favour of shogun just because he was winning in the end or else that would be called fixing.

ROGAN WAS BIASED
Rogans commentary was biased towards Shogun. Watch the match again with no commentary ie mute out Rogan .. you may have a different opinion
