GSP vs Hendricks was not a robbery!

Hendricks also landed nasty elbows against the cage when GSP was trying to take him down

They buckled GSP's legs and were the most noteworthy moment of the round

I don't remember him being buckled at all, but do remember Rogan screaming he was hurt.

If they didn't mean anything then why are people still debating about it 7 years later?

Means absolutely nothing. Three other fights where the media went the same way, in 2019 alone

Arlovski vs Sakai
Lopez vd morales
Henderson vs picolotti

So what

Hendricks retired GSP. Big Rigg was robbed

Pride rules he would have won. 10 point system clearly lost. No one but himself to blame. Goes on to win then lose the title and have the absolute shittiest run ever, culminating in having his lights put out by a gay pornstar.

Gsp however, comes back to win a MW title against the same one eyed man that beat your idol . Good times
 
Hendricks tapped from a guillotine in round 1 anyways, but GSP let go of the choke mid tap so the fight continued.

Pardon me, but the consensus is Johny unanimously won round 2 coz he got GSP clearly hurt. The most debatable round is round 1. But yeah, this is water under the bridge. I had it GSP winning too, but 1,3, and 5.

Yup, I could see round 1 going either way, but the commentary was bias as fuck, Rogan would act like Hendricks had a 110% accuracy with his punches.

When I watched it again, Hendricks only success in round 1 was defending in the clinch. GSP controled round 1 tempo, pushed the pace, and landed the better shots.
 
It was a close fight that could have gone either way. It literally came down to a single round where you could argue for both on who won it.
 
we should have a retired fighter forum where GSP fans can congregate and talk about the good ole days.
 
Hendricks won 2 rounds decisively
St.Pierre won 1 round decisively and 2 close rounds

Haters gonna hate... and be salty forever :)
 
close fight, could have gone either way. Im glad gsp got the decision since big rigg admitted to only fighting at 70%. What a dumb thing to say.
 
Wasn’t a robbery like Maldonado vs Fedor but it was a pretty bad mistake with a title on the line.

GSP got lucky for the win but unlucky he was hurt so badly

Fight was very close for sure,GSP was on 11 fight win streak and 9th title defence and he was mentally done you know he was talking about aliens at that time and he gave up gloves after the fight,a motivated GSP would beat Hendricks any day of the week

This is something many people overlook. GSP was mentally on the way out, it's really hard to find motivation after being at the top for so long and he was still able to win a close decision against a juiced to the gills Hendricks. Johny would maybe have 10% chance against focused GSP, just a puncher's chance and nothing else.

Somone is being overly impressed by cosmetic damage.
