Lyoto Machida admits he was 'out' against Luke Rockhold, 'couldn't hear' after second round massacre
I think most mixed martial arts fans already knew that Lyoto Machida was in trouble after the first round of his fight against Luke Rockhold , which took place last weekend in the UFC on FOX 15 main event from Newark, New Jersey. Hindsight is 20/20 and blah, blah, blah, but it now seems the fight could have been justifiably stopped once the Brazilian was floored by his younger and much bigger foe, especially after an onslaught of ground-and-pound left him "dizzy" and unable to hear.
