Lyoto Machida picked up a split decision over Eryk Anders in the UFC Belem main event.

In the UFC Belem main event, the UFC’s #13 middleweight Lyoto Machida defeated Eryk Anders with a hard fought split decision. This snaps a three-fight losing streak for Machida, and it looks like the former light heavyweight champ can still move around and can still take a punch. In his post-fight interview with Paul Felder, Machida called out the former middleweight king Michael Bisping.

Main Event:

Tons of respect was displayed over the 1st minute of the bout, with Anders slowly pressing forward. Machida attacked with a thudding leg kick that dropped Anders, giving Machida the top position.
