It was a close fight, face damage does not earn more points with the judges, just with fans.

This decision makes me wonder if Sonnen never got triangled in the 5th round of his first fight with Anderson, would he have gotten the decision?

So I guess that makes me the undefeated, undisputed champion of the welterweight division.

I couldn't hear **** Rogan was saying, at the bar I was at, it seemed like everyone was ******* screaming for Johnny Hendricks throughout the fight because he was beating GSP's ass.  GSP lost that fight and he knows it

I also....a known Non-Fan of GSP, had it 48-47 GSP.


Seemed like alot of people had it 2-2 going into the 5th...then when GSP won that round, they wanna switch it to Jonny winning. It was close either way...people are just a little too into wanting Jonny to win and GSP to finally lose. Overlooking the fact that, for GSP, this was a pretty good exciting title defense.

Hendricks got robbed I had him winning the first, second and the fourth and GSP won the third and the fifth. Rory Macdonald also won the first two rounds of his fight and lost the third almost getting knocked out. Seems like the judges had one too many free ****tails at the slots before they came to work.

Fight was close, I thought Hendricks won but in no way was it even close to biggest robbery ever. I think if it was scored as a whole it wouldve been a clear victory for Hendricks. No way GSP won round 1 though, that's ******

The thing about damage to the face is that in many cases it doesn't tell the story of the fight.  In this case, it did.  GSP got his ass whooped.  Hendricks landed all the punches that counted.  Georges did NO damage whatsoever

First off, I'm a Hendricks fan, I wanted Hendricks to knock GSPs head off. The truth is, I felt GSP won a split decision and I felt the judges made the right call. ******* cry about it (by the way ED209, your sig is hilariously awesome).

The first round was obviously Hendricks round. I was pumped for the fight after that. Stoked the first round of a GSP fight was actually competitive. The 2nd round was really close. Hendricks fought his fight, but I felt GSP countered him a little bit more... but I wasn't going to be surprised with how the judges scored that round. The 3rd round I felt GSP controlled it for the most part and felt Hendricks was slowing down. The 4th round Hendricks totally controlled it. When the 5th round came, I felt it was 2-2 and whoever won the round could win the fight. I don't know how long some of you have been watching MMA, but a takedown doesn't necessarily win a round. The 5th I edged to GSP. It was a great fight and, while I understand while people want to debate a close fight, people should just be happy that it wasn't a one sided beatdown. I've always been a fan of Hendricks, I even picked him to beat Fitch (which is to this day one of my favorite moments in MMA). I felt bad for him after the decision was said. He proved that he is a champion regardless of winning. Lets hope the rematch happens sooner than later.

It was a good fight. A lot of rounds were close, but I think the only round GSP clearly won was 3 and might have took 5. I don't think it was the worst robbery in history but I do think the winner lost the decision. The part that really pissed me off was GSP acting like he deserved it then retiring.

I had it 2-2 going in the fifth. Hendricks clearly 1 and 4, GSP 2 and 3. It's beyond me that people had Hendricks in the second. After getting boxed up, 1 takedown in the last minute shouldn't score you the round.

As I remember (my memory is **** sometimes but,) GSP didn't really establish his jab in the second til half way through. It's not like he out boxed him for the whole second round.

Can someone explain how Johny was in danger or what exactly did GSP do to solidify ANY round? There's the perpetually-landing "jab" and even that alone shouldn't decide the way a round goes.

I don't think GSP won either but there was talks of him retiring before this fight so quit saying hes scared or hes a ***** when the guy has never backed out of a fight. This is coming from GSP hater too

Johny Hendricks, real Welterweight Champion of the world. GSP did land a volume of strikes, but Hendricks landed the better and harder strikes. He dropped GSP and came close to finishing him, this is why I think the ONE FC rules are better. I'm not complaining, I just feel bad for Hendricks.GSP may have landed more, but Hendricks landed the much better blows and damaging blows.

Hendricks vs. Condit rematch is gonna be awesome.
