10-9 Costa easily.

Hendricks looked like a deer in headlights for the majority of that round. He needs to use his wrestling if he wants to have a chance in this fight or he is boned.

Hendricks is playing with fire, but it's good to seem him scrappier than he's been in a long time.

Easy win for Paulo Costa.  Hendricks looks cooked.  He needs to retire or go to Bellator.

I was actually expecting a quick flurry KO, but that was a patient striking domination. I'm impressed. But then again, Hendricks looked awful. The worst case of post-USADA of all.

Hendricks is now 2-6 since he won the title. How long will UFC keep hin on the roster?

@vazio It's HARD! They hired a color blind guy specifically for taping the gloves. It's not their fault!

Hard to score that round.  Leaning towards Masvidal 10-9, but not sure.
