i was there and the crowd acted appallingly toward it though! they both trained really hard and both gave there all and i don't think anymore than voicing an oppinion is fair!
Ok so its hard to deny that Rua was more aggressive in the fight, but for anyone that actually trains in a traditional martial art knows that defence is taught over offence! and this is what Machida did, he went back to his roots instead of fighting the way hes had to learn just to keep arrogant fans entertained!
End of the day, to be the best you've got to beat the best! and Rua didn't BEAT Lyoto.
