Well of course he won, he had the weight advantage

Linkeker manages to do what he does best, namely, imitate The Thing. It was clobberin' time as Lineker hammerfists Maria into living death.

Leites had some stamina issues in his first UFC tenure. Could be an interesting 3rd as Watson is clearly the fresher of the two. #UFC163
— Mike Chiappetta MMA (@MikeChiappetta) August 4, 2013
Both Leites and Watson look tired. Could we just agree to let these guys have an extra couple minutes to rest? It benefits all of us.

Lyoto Machida vs Phil Davis
I smell a judging controversy.
— Kelly Crigger (@kellycrigger) August 4, 2013
Dang I don't know if Phil won but he is way improved from the Evans fight. Few more fight and he will be ready to challenge!
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) August 4, 2013
I don't know how these judges have it but I think the dragon won
