"I did the best that I could tonight, but if the judges thought that Quinton won, then that's what they saw. That's up to the UFC, but I'd like an immediate rematch also."
On the other hand, Rampage Jackson was disappointed over his performance calling a rematch after the UFC 123 Results was announced,
"I think [me being the aggressor is] the only thing that earned me a decision. I think that's what the judges saw -- me being aggressive. The fight was so close that it's unfair for Machida. Even though I don't want to, I have to give him a rematch."
