Is gsp vs Hendricks still the most controversial fight of all time ?

I was at the shopping mall lately doing some grocery and I was surprised to still heard a conversation about who won between George and Johnny, the fact that people still talk about it 8 years ago just show at what point this fight was polarized. Johnny won it imo.

Have you ever seen Randleman vs Bas?
 
Hamil vs Bisping …. There is no argument to be made that Matt was robbed , and of course it was in England.
 
Weirdest thing about GSP vs Hendricks is that even though people agree it was a robbery - when recapping GSP's career - they ignore it and say "he retired on top"

For example - Chael Sonnen says GSP's reign is hard to match because "beat the past, the present and the future".
With the past being Hughes and Penn, the present being the bulk of his opponents and the "the future" being Hendricks... a fight GSP should've lost.
Quite annoying

It was probably the biggest controversial decision of all time, but it wasn't the worst decision of all time.

Ross Pearson beat Diego Sanchez 30-27 easy to score. Yet somehow he lost the fight on the cards and one judge (Jeff Collins) gave Diego a 30-27...

Same thing with Nam Phan vs Leonard Garcia. Judge Kimijo (spelling?) got it right (30-27 Phan) but Adelaide Byrd (surprise surprise) and Tony Weeks gave the fight to Garcia.

All of these morons are still judging.

Of course it wasnt the worst decision of all-time but it arguably was among championship fights, at least in modern era.

The past is Hughes and BJ which is not to take lightly, plus utter destructions of Sherk and Trigg.
BJ is rather a contemporary btw.

Became champ in 2006 and I'd say Condit is the future relative to GSP, only judges prevented him from being champ in 2016 as a matter of fact

I agree that it's weird that Chael listed BJ as a part of the past in relation to GSP - rather than a contemporary.
(Timestamp 1:39)

I also agree about Condit. I feel like people forget about him too easily nowadays.

Chael can talk reasonable as he can talk biased, comedian shit.

Condit is a top5 win in GSP's career imo.
 
Just watched it again. Georges takes rounds 1,2,3 and 5 imo. He controlled the range, stifled his power through better footwork and sneaky jabs and check hooks. Hendricks was able to cause some chaos and land a few hard shots and was the marginally better grappler. Great fight for the champ and Johnny.

Its weird that people want to call multiple rounds 10-8 in this fight when gsp was never dropped, never close to being finished. Yeah he lost rounds 2 and 4 but both were 10-9 rounds. It literally comes down to which 5 to 10 seconds of offense you favor in round 1, but people call it a robbery.

I believe it is still the only MMA robbery where 100% of the media scored it for the loser. At the time no one counted it as a title defense this being ambigious is revisionist history by GSP fans.

Wrong. This is revisionist history by you. There was always a large contingent who thought GSP won, and the media was not 100% on Hendricks.

Sure, I believe he should have won, and most of the media backed Hendricks, but you are still playing revisionist history yourself.

You had Dana White, the promoter, saying his cash cow had clearly lost the fight. Every single media outlet scored the fight for GSP, which is probably unprecedent in a tittle fight.

....it's not "half of the members crying"...it's fucking evidence. If it should be called a robbery Im not sure, I certainly understand why Hendricks feel that way.

He said he was leaving, of course Dana was gonna bury him

I'm not sure. I know Jones vs Hamill was pretty controversial, so were Penn vs GSP 1 and 2, Shogun vs Machida 1 was very controversial, so were the Anderson vs Weidman fights

GSP vs Hendricks is controversial because GSP has a lot of fans and a lot of haters

Only haters and retards think gsp bj 1 was controversial. Its a clear 29 28

That's a fight thats interesting to rewatch after learning about the sport. As a young casual and Penn fan I thought it was controversial. When I rewatched it later I was like damn I had no idea what I was watching back then.
