mentalityYeah both Silva and Machida had 13-0 records, but Machida had a much more impressive resume of opponents. I still think Machida is overrated though, especially considering his last "win" over Shogun was one of the most controversial decisions in MMA history. Stupid when the judges are there because of politics and not because of their MMA experience and knowledge.
Also, Machida drinks his own urine.
xxovercastxxStill, it's always interesting when 2 undefeated go head to head. I had only recently gotten into MMA when this fight took place, so I'd never even heard of Silva at the time. I only knew of Machida because my friends were fans.
I agree that he did not "win" the fight with Shogun. He might have had more points due to some technicality, but he was dominated for pretty much the entire 5 rounds. They meet again in May and I expect a much better showing by Machida then.
I really enjoy watching Machida fight and don't think he's overrated at all. If anything, I think he's under appreciated.

I don't think Machida is under appreciated since he is usually ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in most MMA publications. ie: http://www.sherdog.com/news/rankings/Sherdogcoms-Pound-for-Pound-Top-10-21720 (Great site btw, just steer clear of the forums)
Also, Shogun was a brilliant fighter back in the day, but experienced a series of injuries and setbacks and spent a considerable period away from the sport. Shogun has only recently begun his comeback, and the improvements from his Mark Coleman fight to his Machida fight is just amazing. I think it's Shogun who will be back in May stronger than ever, but in any case it's going to be an awesome event.
