Yeah dude, great fight.
I think Shogun studied Machida's style intensely though.
Usually he just comes out aggressively, but when he fought Machida, he actually used his counter-stiking/Shotokan style against him.
Of course he can't do it as well as Machida, but his athleticism makes up for it. Machida is not exceptionally athletic, just highly skilled, and considering that his dad is old-school Jap, he probably trains fanatically. Either way it's a testament to Machida, when a legend like Shogun has to alter his style to win.
Shogun's robbery was made up for when they robbed Machida in his fight with Rampage.
