shogun would hit him here and there, but it was never clean, and lyoto controlled the pace of the fight with evasion and dominated the ground. lyoto made the mistake of throwing a lazy cross and got caught. it's called a puncher's chance for a reason
Lol.. Honestly? You thought Lyoto controlled that fight? Even though the hits by Shogun weren't clear shots, but 2 minutes into the fight he had already hurt Lyoto once with a straight. Then Lyoto took him down for the second time, and to be honest, that wasn't a real takedown. Shogun tried to shift weight and hip toss him, but did not have the leverage and the technique blackfired into a "takedown" by Lyoto. Throughout the first 3 minutes of the fight, Lyoto landed nothing but two knees one solid straight in the first 15 seconds and one half-assed elbow when he was on top. Shogun swept him with complete ease and got the fight standing up almost immediately after being taken down. You should really hop off Lyoto's nuts and watch the fight with your eyes. You can evade as many hits in a fight as you want, but if you're not throwing or landing you're not winning a fight from pure evasion. Also, to counter the "puncher's chance" bullshit, Shogun located Lyoto's chin and hurt him once already before the eventually finish. When it happens once it's chance, when it happens again it's truth.
