The victory of Phil Davis about Lyoto Machida by decision of the judges at UFC Rio 4, last Saturday (4), it generated controversy among fans, analysts and even other athletes. On Monday night (5), at Twitter, the light heavyweight champion Jon Jones commented on the fight, which he classified as difficult to judge.
“Phil (Davis) got two takedowns and was more aggressive, Lyoto clearly connected more significant blows. Difficult to judge. Takedowns are a big point in MMA. I mean, if it were a street fight, I would give the victory to Machida”, wrote Jones on his profile on the microblogging network.
Jon Jones is preparing to defend his belt once again on August 21st, against Alexander Gustafson, in the main fight of UFC 165. In the co-main event of the night, the Brazilian Renan Barao defends interim bantamweight title against North American Eddie Wineland.

It's not even a street fight, it's not even wrestling. It's MMA.
fall has to have the same value as punch.
the fight is in September not August.
Never, is this a fight, which causes more damage, a punch to the face, or a simple fall??
a punch is worth 5x falls.
Davis was far from beating Lyoto.
stolen from ufc, ufc is getting ridiculous.
