ANALYSIS

Still looking for first UFC win
Machado lost to Don'Tale Mayes via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Machado is now two fights into his UFC run, and he's dropped both via tight unanimous decision. The truth of the matter is that there was very little separating he and Mayes. The latter was responsible for the biggest moment of the fight with a first-round knockdown, but Machado appeared to be the better conditioned athlete and did his best work late. Ultimately, it wasn't enough. The Brazilian will likely need to find a victory he last time out in order to extend his time with the company.

Drops tight decision in Vegas
Machado lost to Michael Parkin via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Machado earned a UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series this past August despite an underwhelming performance in a unanimous decision win. Thus, he entered as a hefty +300 underdog for this fight against Parkin, a bout which he may very well have deserved to win. Machado did give up three takedowns, but also closed with a 103-69 edge in total strikes landed. With the fight seemingly in the balance late, the Brazilian appeared to be the man with more energy. None of the three judges agreed. Machado is a lock to receive another fight with the company following this strong effort.

Making UFC debut

ANALYSIS
