Forgot about that. But I guess I meant a legit L and a not a DQ L.Looked defeated? So because GSP can be critical of himself, vs Jon who is a legitimate sociopath who will never think he's done wrong, that means Jon won? Georges had been saying for a while he was mentally burnt out, so it's not like he was gonna be thrilled coming out.
Gsp hendricks or derrick lewis last fight...
Jesus christ. Hell of a post. Thanks sherbo.Adding onto this, since I directly compared these 2 fights "as robberies" before in another thread, I'm just gonna pull the post from there::

Could I have been thinking of GSP vs Hendricks?
Hmm..?
Nah, I am thinking of Jones-Reyes.
You wanna talk about close rounds? Which rounds went to Jon exactly, cuz I'm confused.
I give Jon 2 rounds, but which 3rd should I give him? They all just look so delicious.
See, this is what a split looks like.
Hmm, maybe the stats will clear things up.
Yup, those definitely look like close rounds. Total strikes and attempetd volume vs significant strikes are similar or flipped, control time with takedowns split attention. Makes sense.
Ok, so we can identify close rounds. Let's see the close rounds with Jones
You see in the first 3 rounds, the significant strikes are all so clo..
DOM +6
DOM +11
DOM +7
..wait no. Well, even if the significant strikes have a wide margin, I'm sure the total strikes and attempted volume must have made up the diff..
DOM +6 / +32
DOM +11 / +31
DOM +7 / +11
..oh no. I mean, where the strikes land is important too, so maybe Dom was just doing legwork while Jon surpassed him in combined head & body strikes to close the ga-
DOM +11
DOM +10
DOM +8
shit.. Well, Jon is one of the best wrestlers in MMA, I'm sure his successful takedowns and control time stole some ro-
JON 0/2 0 sec
JON 0/0 0 sec
JON 0/2 15 sec
... Oh... Well, there's always a difference of power and clean connections. Maybe the biggest moments of the rounds were Jones'? If you take a look at the UFC's post-round highlights in round 3, I'm sure we'll fin-
Ah.. yeah, no. I don't think there's much of an argument that Jones should have won.
I'm not comparing Jon to GSP after those fights. I'm saying I think the biggest robbery between the two was Johnny being robbed of the win against GSP.
Reyes/Jones

It was because he was unsure if he won. You're just going places with what GSP was feeling because of how Hendricks and his ridiculous corner acted.
It's been some time since re-watching the GSP/Hendricks fight so I would have to go back a re-watch it again to have this debate, but I do remember Johnny winning 3 maybe 4 rounds of that fight. I'm not gonna get specific because it has been a few years since rewatching that fight, but when I have time I'll watch the fight again & reply lol so to be continued...
It's pretty much the consensus that there are no 10-8 rounds, Hendricks won rounds 2 and 4, GSP 3 and 5.
