Jackson beats Machida at UFC 123

Lyoto Machida, Quinton Jackson

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Quinton "Rampage" Jackson looked stunned beat Lyoto Machida. In the UFC's first card featuring four former champions, one main event ended quickly and the other marquee matchup went the distance Saturday night.



Jackson was awarded a split-decision victory against Machida — after raising his opponent's hand. "When he dominated me in the third round, I forgot what happened in the first two rounds," Jackson said. "At the time, I thought I got whooped because he landed a flurry on my face."


There weren't many punches or kicks in the Jackson-Machida fight, but Jackson's aggressive style seemed to pay off for the judges against Machida's passive ways.
