5 years ago we witnessed one of the most exciting WW championship fights ever.

UFC 167 was a great card capped off by a great main event. Both men left everything in the cage. At the time, I’d never been more entertained by a welterweight title bout. Although there will always be controversy when discussing this fight, it’s still cool to reminisce.

Great fight!

The fight that essentially ended GSP’s career. Sweet justice prevailed when Hendricks got what was rightfully his (WW title) in his very next fight.

Respect to both of these warriors.

 

[JackSchtotll]

Yeah, it was entertaining. Still think the Wonderboy-Woodley fights were more technical and fought at a higher level, but that fight was definitely one of the best WW title fights.

Too bad it was scarred by bad a bad decision. Hendricks clearly won the fight.

 

[VinceArch]

This was even better.

 

[Klaavical]

The day GSP was defeated. Too bad it was tainted by Hendricks pissing hot

 

[MMAudit]

Mehhhh .. when you're juiced up "I am not impressed by your performance" ....

 

[drbolony]

This was even better.

That was THE fight.

 

[JohnMandick]

And Hendicks went on to....

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

To bad he’s a cheater

 

[The Witcher]

Condit vs Lawler was better #myboygotrobbed

It was a great fight for sure and it was a close as it gets .GSP clearly won round 3 and 5 with Hendricks clearly winning round 2 and 4 the problem in this fight is the first round which was a tossup i personally scored it 48-47 for the MMA GOAT but it was as close as it gets.

 

[Arrrrgh]

This was even better.

I'm pretty sure that's what Conor watches before weigh-ins to get a semi.

When did Hendricks fail a drug test?

 

[Death By Samson]

Both men left everything in the cage.

Nah, Hendricks only left 70% in the cage.

 

[dawzz]

Nah, Hendricks only left 70% in the cage.

Then the remaining part of Hendricks went on to become 30% Usman

....which never happened.....

So a not even that good wrestler with an overhand vs a one dimensional fighter was fought in a higher level than the MMA GOAT and probably the most well rounded fighter even GSP vs a very dangerous well rounded opponent in Hendricks ? You are delusional.

he didn't piss hot, pre-usada.

I scored it GSP and was surprised as hell. Commentary sways a lot of people. I wonder how many people saying Hendricks clearly won actually scored the fight. It basically came down to how you scored one round.

As for people sayig Hendricks got what he wanted and that he never failed a drugs test please. Name one person who's fallen off the radar more since testing got more stringent? He's gone from wobbling guys with a jab to blowing up, not being able to make weight (despite going up a weight category!) and basically is a pale imitation of his former self.

This was around the time GSP was openly calling attention to the fact lots of fighters were enhanced/cheating. It would seem that he was correct so let's not cry a river for Hendricks.
