I gotcha. But IMO, the way Shogun fought that fight wasn't necessarily just the way to defeat Machida, it is the way to defeat the style. Like you said, Shogun threw him in that regard since no one else figured out how to combat Machida's karate and assumed they could simply MMA their way to victory.
