Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaahahahahahahhahahahahahah, great title. Look at source

I just watched the whole fight twice and that first round 4 times in slow mo.

Let me state this, the first time i saw the fight i thought hendricks won clearly, just because when you look at it on the face of it Hendricks won that fight as a whole Then after a couple minutes i sat down calmed down and analyzed it.

I have come up with two answers. the first is that rounds 2-5 were judged completely correctly. with hendricks clearly winning 2 and 4 and GSP winning 3 and 5

Second, the first was absurdly close.

GSP actually out landed him, what i counted as 16-15. I believe fight metric had it 19-18. I guess they count un clean shots more than me. The other key factor was GSP had a clean takedown with about 40 seconds of top control. While hendricks had a trip takedown that GSP bounced back up on. GSP also controlled the ring in the first, and initiated 4 out of 5 clinches. The big factor was Hendricks also had about 4 elbows when gsp was going for a takedown. So IMO opinion GSP out-landed him but Hendricks had the heavier shots in he round. I personally think a draw would have been fair, based on the scoring system. However what is clear is that anyone saying this is a robbery is either watching off emotion without taking time to watch again *cough Dana cough* It was very close and the judges had a tough decision.

it really could have gone either way based on the judges scoring of 
- Octogon control, significant strikes landed and Grappling superiority. 
- What isnt is actually damage, which is not a factor in the fights, which is half fair as GSP is always gonna cut way easier due to having way more scar tissue.

So while most feel Hendricks won (i dont completely disagree) it was not a robbery. If anything it is a fault in the rules

More importantly though is that i think people should respect GSP decisions to retire, he has been the champ longer than anybody and frankly i think he is sick of MMA. He has been fighting for 16 years since he was 17, and really since he was a kid. Feel free to respond respectfully.

jim, ryan, gotta watch this from round 1

most idiots saying Hendricks robbed.  i disagree, and here's some support


---
id anyone see Hendricks tap round 1 when he was in that choke? The first 30 seconds or so of the fight.


hmmm, never saw that.

Sorry but you're wrong. Everyone saying that Hendricks got robbed has no idea how UFC/MMA fights are scored. Watch the fight again. It takes more than a couple of clean shots and takedowns to take a belt. The judges don't make decisions on "feel" or "damage", decisions are made based on a precise point scoring system, and 2/3 judges saw that Hendricks didn't outscore GSP. End of story.

Saying that Hendricks was a clear winner is wrong. It was a really close fight, which was reflected in the result - split decision - but you can't nickel and dime a title shot - knock the guy out, submit him, win convincingly on points, or accept the judges decision

In fairness to everybody, it wasn't a Hendricks runaway, but I thought a clear 48-47 across the board in his favor. GSP was the clear aggressor throughout the fight. Hendricks did little on the ground, and his standup was - of the whole fight - inferior to GSPs. He just did more damage. He rocked GSP once and cut him up. GSP bleeds easy - any fan knows this.

Hendricks surely can hit hard but he didn't capitalize effectively. His ability to do just that cost him. I think he was relying mostly on his left hand, which is very dangerous, but he needed to use his jab more. That was I was saying through the entire fight. And he seemed to not really care about getting hit. Even though those strikes that St. Pierre landed were merely gentle strokes, they still count as landed strikes and points earned.
