In a decision that was met with boos from the live crowd and claims of robbery and calls for an immediate rematch from online fans, the judges awarded Machida the victory with 48-47 scores despite Rua winning the bout on nearly every observer’s scorecard.

Rua’s strategy relied on damaging leg and body kicks that left Machida battered after the five-round technical showdown, while Machida connected less frequently with precision strikes. Despite more frequent and damaging blows, the decision was given to the reigning champ, who was defending the title for the first time since winning the belt from Rashad Evans in May.

Machida remains undefeated, improving to 16-0 in the victory with his eight-straight wins inside the Octagon tied for second-best in the promotion’s history, while Rua falls to 18-4 in defeat.

In the UFC 104 co-headliner, Cain Velasquez cemented his status as a top heavyweight contender with a dominating win over Ben Rothwell. After blitzing the IFL veteran for the entirety of the opening round, Velasquez picked up where he left off in the second, taking Rothwell to the ground and quickly finishing him with punches.

Velasquez, now 8-0 on his career with five-straight UFC wins, remains in line for a future title show, while Rothwell falls to 30-7 and will return to the Octagon in search of his first UFC win to get him back on track.

In other main card action, Gleison Tibau used dominant takedowns to pick up a decision over Josh Neer, Joe Stevenson forced Spencer Fisher to tap to a barrage of elbows, and Antony Johnson earned a 41-second knockout of Yoshiyuki Yoshida.

On the preliminary card, The Ultimate Fighter 8 winner Ryan Bader earned a unanimous decision over Eric Schafer, Pat Barry kicked off the Spike TV card with an impressive second-round TKO of Antoni Hardonk, Chael Sonnen dominated Yushin Okami en route to a unanimous decision win, and Jorge Rivera, Kyle Kingsbury, and Stefan Struve also earned wins.

• Lyoto Machida (c) def. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47)
  UFC Light Heavyweight Championship

Light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida (202.5) and challenger Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (204.5) successfully made weight for the UFC 104 main event, as did co-headliners Cain Velasquez (238) and Ben Rothwell (265).

Welterweight knockout artist Anthony Johnson will likely be moving to middleweight for his next bout after weighing in 6 pounds over the division’s 170 pound limit.

The matchup was announced by Bader on Wednesday on Facebook.

A two-time D-1 All-American wrestler at Arizona State, “Darth” Bader compiled a 7-0 record before winning TUF 8 with a finals victory over Vinny Magalhaes. In his next bout, Bader defeated Carmelo Marrero via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 18 in April but suffered several torn ligaments in his knee during the bout that sidelined him for up to six months.

After leaving the UFC in 2007 following back-to-back losses to Michael Bisping and Stephan Bonnar, Schafer won two-straight before returning to the Octagon for victories over Houston Alexander last September and Antonio Mendes in January. “Red” was slated to return to action at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale in June against Tomasz Drwal but withdrew from the bout after sustaining a rib injury while training.

UFC 104 is headlined by a light heavyweight championship matchup featuring current title-holder Lyoto Machida against challenger Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Heavyweight contenders Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez are set to square off in the PPV card’s co-main event.

Mike Ciesnolevicz

Mike Ciesnolevicz has been tapped to replace an injured Eric Schafer and square off with Tomasz Drwal at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale on June 20th in Las Vegas.

NWI.com was first to report the replacement earlier today. According to reports, Schafer was forced to withdraw from the bout after suffering a rib injury in training.

Ciesnolevicz (17-3), a veteran of the IFL, defeated Neil Grove via first-round submission in his UFC debut at UFC 95 in February.

After suffering a loss to Thiago Silva in September 2007 in his UFC debut, Drwal (15-2) bounced back at UFC 93 with a first-round TKO of Ivan Serati.

Stay tuned to MMAFrenzy.com for the latest UFC news and MMA rumors.

Eric Schafer

Light heavyweights Eric Schafer and Tomasz Drawl have signed contracts to fight at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale on June 20th in Las Vegas.

MMAFrenzy.com learned of the 205-pound matchup on Sunday from a source close to one of the fighters.

After leaving the UFC in 2007 following back-to-back losses to Michael Bisping and Stephan Bonnar, Schafer (11-3-2) has won four-straight, including UFC victories over Houston Alexander and, most-recently at UFC 93 in January, Antonio Mendes.

Drwal (15-2) brought a 13 fight win streak to the octagon for his UFC debut in September 2007, but suffered just the second loss of his career to Thiago Silva. After remaining out of action for over a year, Drwal returned at UFC 93 with a first-round knockout of Ivan Serati.

Dan Henderson Defeats Rich Franklin at UFC 93

UFC 93: Franklin vs. Henderson took place today at The O2 in Dublin, Ireland. In the evening’s main event Dan Henderson topped Rich Franklin, earning a split decision victory to secure his spot as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter 9 and a future middleweight matchup against opposing coach Michael Bisping. One judge scored the contest 30-27 in favor of Franklin, while the victory went to Henderson, who was awarded two 29-28 scores.

In the evening’s co-main event, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua scored his much-needed first UFC victory with a late third-round TKO of UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman. The 44-year-old Coleman was visibly exhausted midway though the opening round but Rua was largely unable to capitalize. Coleman survived the opening round and continued to get Rua to the canvas over the remainder of the fight. The fight appeared destined to go to the judges’ scorecards, where Rua was likely to be awarded the victory, but a botched call by the referee allowed Rua to connect with a combo that sent Coleman to the canvas. Coleman protested the stoppage and has his sights set on a rubber match with his rival, though Rua will first fight Chuck Liddell before the two could meet again.

Both fights were not without controversy as Henderson’s victory was marred by an accidental headbutt and eye poke, while a legal knee by Rua was ruled illegal and resulted in a standup that immediately preceded the knockout of Coleman.

Despite a broken hand suffered in the opening round, Rousimar Palhares took Jeremy Horn the distance to earn a unaniomous decision victory. Horn showed heart in the loss, surviving what was shaping up to be an early stoppage to force Palhares to work hard for the victory, which improved his record to 2-1 in the UFC and 9-2 overall.

In a featured middleweight matchup, Alan Belcher snubbed Denis Kang’s UFC debut, submitting the promising middleweight with an arm-in guillotine late in the second round to improve his UFC record to 5-3. The submission came out of nowhere as Kang dominated with first two rounds with superior ground work before Belcher transitioned a stuffed takedown attempt into a fight-ending submission.

The highly anticipated scrap between Marcus Davis and Chris Lytle kicked off the UFC 93 broadcast with back-and-forth standup action as expected, but the solid effort failed to live up it’s extreme hype. In the end, Davis walked away with the split decision victory.
