I had a similar reaction to the Gustaffson decision, but looking back it was a close fight, and the right decision. I think if you look at this fight again you'll see how close it is. Keep in mind that the decision doesn't go to the guy who caused the most bruises and cuts.

If ur judging the whole fight as a whole i believe Hendricks won hands down. But they judge by round and its all about Round 1 imo. I guess 2 of the 3 judges believes GSP won it that round cause he obviously won round 3 and 5

Not gonna lie, I was hoping Hendricks to just get in GSP's face and say "until you actually beat me, you aren't retiring"

The possibilities are endless with his personal life and needing to take time off

Sherdog is down as expected
:lawl:

gsp shouldve wait to retire on a high note... that was awkward as hell

rigged

what actually happened here

look like a tap? lol

Rounds 2 and 4 were clearly Hendricks

Rounds 3 and 5 were clearly GSP's

The only razor close round was round 1. People are freaking out over this decision based on one round. Go back and watch it again...

Watching round 1 again right now

GSP takedown right away, almost got him in a guillotine. Hendricks used his beard to cheat, while he was tapping

Clinching and kneeing for a while

GSP has his leg while taking weak shots that Rogan is calling "hard punches"

GSP controlling the octagon

Hendricks against the cage, elbowing himself in the knee beside GSP's head. One may have landed behind his ear "VICIOUS ELBOWS!" - J.Rogan

Hendricks reverses, finally has control after 2 minutes of being controlled

Hendricks takes him down, does nothing. GSP gets right up

GSP breaks free, Hendricks controlled for 1 minute

GSP shoots, eats a knee. Nice leg kick and jab right after, and a high kick

GSP clinches again, kneeing each other again. GSP landing to the stomach, Hendricks landing on his thigh "These knees are landing over and over again" according to Rogan

30 seconds left, trading leg kicks and punches. Hendricks eats a front kick and counters

Hendricks with a swing and a miss at the bell.

Round 1 goes to GSP

(btw I used some sarcasm in that post please don't get too angry!)

Looks like the first round won it for GSP, I felt like the were even after the first two rounds, and GSP took it in the 3rd and 5th.

it looks like he was about to tap but GSP released him...

Report from press row

Watching round 1 again using the overhead cam

The tap clearly wasn't a tap, his hand was just shaking as he was trying to get out

Those punches Georges took while in the single didn't really land, maybe twice. He made an ugly face because he was fighting for control

Those knees to the knees were Hendricks' only real striking offense that looked really significant

Watching the end of the fight with Hendricks' corner audio

They are cheering like they won the thing clearly... Dude didn't finish the fight but assumes he won

Joe Silva sees this and shuts them up "it's close guys"... Their response "Aw man come on Joe"

Hendricks "they can't take that from me, can they?"

Corner "no way. No way. You kicked his ass! Look at his face, look at yours!"

Using the old Tank Abbott excuse

"At most they will give him the 5th round, but you got 4 for sure"

Audio cuts out, Hendricks continues to make an ass of himself in the interview

Listening to GSP's corner, he said something

"It hurts like a fucking ...... I don't want to do it again"

It's hard to tell exactly what he said... Something like "it hurts like a fucking dream" but that doesn't make any sense

Or "he hits like a fucking dream"? or did he say train?

I'll try to extract the audio

Edit: Audio

johny hits like a fucken train, i dont want to do it again???

that's what it sounds like to me... if it wasn't already mentioned before the match that GSP had something to announce at the end of the fight, I think a lot of people would think he BS'd his way out of a rematch

lol at the press conference
reports were asking georges about retiring. dana looked pissed and wouldnt have it, said there will be no more retirement questions
sneaky french reporter asks about retirement in french, dana caught on and says "is that the same question in french?" whole room laughs LOL

We had it 48-47 Hendricks as well. He did make a mistake by letting up in the 5th round tho. But thought he did enough to win. The sad part is, it's true that damage doesn't count but all about control which I think its fkin stupid. It's ultimate fighting. Not ultimate control championship.
I bet if gsp mentioned that he wud retire for a bit before the fight that Hendricks takes it.

I am glad that lawler ruined tristars plan to have Rory take over had they both won.


Lol @ uncle dana saying he had gsp only winning 1 round. He madddddddd

Sucks the post conference stream died after that retarded NASCAR question..

lol lets be honest, dana mentioning the state of nevada athletic commission fucking up all the time with boxing now and mma blah blah blah... is all a scandal on the betting system. Fuck vegas.

Dana fired up

Too bad he'll feel like an idiot when he watches round 1 again

Obligatory look at me I'm a winner :fullofwin: post

if georges fights again, itll be interesting to hear bruce buffer say "undefeated, UNDISPUTED, ufc welterweight champion of the world..."
