Shogun won the fight IMO, but he didnt win it by enough to win the belt by decision, thats what it comes down to.

As the owner of the belt, all Machida had to do was DEFEND the belt, which i think he did. If there was no belt on the line, Shogun wins, but since Machida was the owner of the title, i dont think shogun did enough to win the belt by decision.
