What fight were they watching ?

Rashad exicuted his game plan to a T,but I believe that one has to please the fans and that was one BORING match to watch.Two guys cuddling against a fence c'mon...
How about Brilz? I could be biased since he and I are both frim Omaha but I thought he won the first 2 rounds if not all three.I don't know where they get these"judges" but between that call and Machita vs Shogun #1 I'm starting to think either
A) There are some backroom bribes
B) they need to get an eye exam
(End soap box rant)

P.s. I loved the play by play ;)
