There was no "Machida Era." Simple. Just as there was no "Evans Era", "Griffin Era", or "Rampage Era"... Shogun Rua put an end to such nonsense.

Quite simply, there have only been three eras in the UFC Light-heavyweight division -- "Shamrock Era", "Ortiz Era", and "Liddell Era" -- and with that said, there is no "Shogun Era." Only until Shogun defends his title several times does it earn the name era.

Thoughts?

    Very, very valid and I agree 100%. I know I've gotten extremely sick and tired of every LHW champ since Liddel getting thrown into the P4P talk. Now it's Shogun's turn. I've always said, winning the belt is easy, defending is where real champs are made. If memory serves me correct, there has been only 1 legit title defense since Chuck lost the belt. So again, I agree, no "era" since Chuck. This may be the beginning of a Shogun "era" but he need 2 wins before I'll sign off on it.
