UFC 98 proved to be explosive in the main event when Lyoto Machida KO'd Rashad Evans in a devastating victory. His striking once again proved to be in a class of its own. Machida remains undefeated while Evans suffered his first loss. Up next for Machida will likely be Quinton Jackson unless Dana White can somehow set up a showdown with Anderson Silva. Regardless, the light heavyweight title has once again changed hands and remains slippery. Machida looks like he can hold on to it for a while but only time will tell.
In other action Matt Hughes took a very close hard fought victory from Matt Serra. It was a fight that proved little. Neither of these guys are near the top of the division any longer. Hughes needs to decide if he will retire or attempt to re-commit himself to challenge the top fighters at welterweight again. It's just good that this fight wasn't a main event. Dana White is realizing that we (the fans) aren't dumb and understand the difference between a hyped up meaningless cash grab versus a true main event. I'm not saying that Hughes versus Serra is totally meaningless but just that it isn't a main event between two top guys.
