It is no secret that fan boys see things with blinders on. Need an example? Whenever Shogun fights this happens on the forums:
“Shogun’s knees…”
“Shogun wasn’t himself”
“He hurt his appendage”
“He would have won the fight if it wasn’t for that blow to the back of his head…”
So, here we are after UFC on FOX 15 and the whining fan boys are at it again. Luke Rockhold put on a clinic against former UFC champion Lyoto Machida and won their bout decisively, and in style. Still, that didn’t stop the whining on the forums and denial that runs deep with hardcore MMA nerds. Check out these posts…

I know he was winning the standup before the slip, but what concerns me is that he did not recover between rounds. He came out in round 2 looking like a zombie. A fighter in his prime would have recovered more.
Potentially to the back of the head, though I haven’t seen a replay to really tell where it landed.
It looked like it hit above the ear, either way that s— was hard.
I was amazed at how small he was compared to Rockhold…
so true… I wish I could go back and delete some of the stuff I’ve said. BJ Penn fan checking in.
