UFC 198 Shogun loss didn't bother Corey Anderson until he watched the tape

Corey Anderson was all set to take his loss to Shogun Rua at UFC 198 in stride until he sat down and watched the fight again.

It's no secret, fighters are often the worst judges of their own efforts when it comes to who won or lost a bout on the scorecards. The memory of Forrest Griffin running out of the cage, eager to rid himself of a loss to Tito Ortiz, only to find out he'd actually won the fight, still stands as a great reminder that being there isn't necessarily the best metric for judging.

That seems to be the problem Corey Anderson is grappling with after UFC 198, when he was pretty well resigned to the fact that he lost his fight with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
