Judging was questionable, but it's a moot point. Also, did anyone else see Hendricks tap in the first round?

I also saw GSP slowing down I was sure that from the rounds 3-5 it was going to be a clear win for GSP and by the end of the 2nd Hendricks was already slowing down, but GSP never explode in fact he slowed down along with Hendricks, wasn't as aggressive or went for the takedown as I expected, he didn't used his jab like he always does, he didn't control the distance as well as he usually do, that's 3 fights now that he doesn't look like his old self, first it was because of the long abscence from the cage then because he was sick, what will it be this time?
I think he has a couple of more fights as a champion at most.
also Lawler is god!

That would make sense. If you felt Hendricks won the first half and GSP won the later half and with the 2nd round being the most debatable round of the fight... a split decision makes perfect sense.
"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."
Because it's a 10 point system. I don't agree with it and would like to judge fights based on a whole, not just rounds. With the 10 point system I felt GSP won 48-47 with a split decision being totally acceptable. If I judged the fight as a whole without counting rounds, I would lean towards Hendricks as I felt he did more damage and wasn't in any danger whatsoever. Unfortunately, MMA in USA is based off of the 10 point system. It works for some fights, doesn't work for others.

Why would anyone listen to that? And even if it was true, we most likely wouldn't want to know.
"screenshot this post if you don't believe me but silva will win the 2nd fight and they'll have the trilogy probably 4th of july with the fan expo unless someone gets injured. "
If you know it's rigged than why do you need us to take a screenshot of it? Take a screenshot of it yourself and if it does happen in the future, you can be the badass prophet of MMA internet forums.
