Literally outside of a few knees, Hendricks lands nothing of significance and it's no more significant than GSP's leg kicks and jabs.GSP's amazing takedown and lame guillotine attempt lasted 5 seconds....not even worth scoring.
Hendricks threw and landed more significant strikes, took GSP down and busted his leg and his face up.
Only a GSP dick rider (like yourself) could make a case for GSP winning Rd1.
The irony. Get over it kid. It's been 9 years.Nine years later, the visceral anger and bandwagon of apologist is really pathetic. Everyone knows he was gifted that decision.
Dana was shitting on GSP that whole presser. Not even a fan of Georges but that was a bad look. One of the people in the back even tried to stop GSP from getting to the presser and Dana even said he was transported to the hospital IIRC. They tried to make it look like Johny immobilized him and beat him out of the UFC for good lol....
Clear robbery. If you got no honesty you're going to deny it.
Couldn't agree more, round by round scoring appears to be a complete mystery to some.
Those are probably the very same people who thought Gustafsson got robbed in the first Jones fight. Similarly to GSP vs Hendricks, that fight also had some egregiously biased commentary.
I would push back and say that round 2 was the most dominant of the fight in favor of Hendricks. I personally scored the fight for GSP (don't have an issue with scoring it for Hendricks though), but I do think the most damage of the fight was done in round 2. Johny had GSP seriously hurt and landed the biggest shots of the fight in round 2.What makes it clear? Calling it a robbery and declaring anyone who disagrees are dishonest is weak. Honestly break down how you scored the fight and explain what makes it a robbery.
2 & 4 were clear 10-9 for Johnny
3 & 5 were clear for GSP
1st round was razor close. The rounds for GSP were far more dominant than anything Hendricks did. 2 & 4 were close in striking. The 3rd had GSP doubling the sig strikes 31-15. It was the most dominant round and should be worth more than the 10-9's Johnny got for 3-4 more strikes landed in the rounds he won.
It was a close fight that could have gone either way, imagine that fight between 2 random dudes on DWCS. Nobody cries robbery if they didn't have a rooting interest or existing bias. Johnny being so competitive with GSP when no one else him gave much of a fight resulted in the Halo effect. Extra credit to Johnny for not getting dominated isn't a valid reason for him to win let alone calling it a Robbery.
then he somehow decided to let GSP come out of retirement and fight Bisping when everybody knew he would never defend that belt
You forgot GSP coming back 4 years later and winning the MW belt while Hendricks was getting blasted in almost every fight in the post USADA era. GSP was the long time WW champ despite multiple knee injuries and while Hendricks did eventually win the WW belt, he had zero successful title defenses. Hendricks was certainly a beast in his prime, but in terms of legacy, not even close.The night Hendricks sent GSP into retirement
All came down to how you scored round 1, which could have gone either way imo.
Insanely close fight, Hendricks won Pride Rules, but GSP won the 10-Point-Must System.
