Name a bigger robbery than GSP vs Hendricks?

Hendricks won rounds 2 and 4 clear and Georges won round 3 and 5 very clear. Round one is the only round that is really debatable and the stats were even except Georges had a submission attempt and like one more significant strike. People only think it's a robbery because Hendricks was Georges Toughest fight. Even if Hendricks did win which he didn't he was still a steroid cheater. also if you think it's a robbery check the stats. And a few of the "Big Knees and Punches" Joe rogan was hyping up didn't even land either.

I agree with the first two but not Rampage vs Griffin. I remember when the bell sounded at the end of the fight saying to my Brother "Forrest has won 3 rounds to 2". but I'll be honest, I haven't watched it since.

It's not even a robbery and lol at Condit vs Lawler not being more egregious. Lawler arguably won 1 round, 2 rounds at absolute most.

This is the correct answer
Condit vs Lawler was an absolute robbery at the highest level
No way possible does Robbie win that fight
People let the commentary bias and gsps facial damage/aura of invincibility being broken misguide them into thinking he lost that fight on points. That was 3-2 gsp all day in my opinion, but a score for Hendricks wouldn't have been bad either. Definition of a razor close fight.
Meanwhile Robbie is beloved so nobody cares he was gifted his belt in a robbery, was on his way to losing his belt before koing Rory Mac, and then completely lost to Condit but once again because he is aggressive and likes to punch air and look menacing he won in the judges eyes
 
I will avoid giving a response to this since speaking the truth about this fight will get you disciplined by the mods. I just will say anyone who isn't hiding their head in the sand knows what happened in GSP/Hendricks and knows why that happened the way it did.

This is how Rampage vs/ Forrest Griffin title match played out in my mind. The problem in that particular fight there's a 10-8 round so people were persuaded to Forrest. Pride judging would have given it to Rampage based on totality of fight, which is what matters most. IMO a draw at worse for Rampage

Ambush scoring breakdown:
Round 1-Rampage knockdown of Forrest, easy 10-9 Rampage
Round 2-Forrest dominating with grappling, 10-8 Forrest
Round 3-closest round to evaluate, both fighters landing strikes, 10-9 Forrest
Round 4-Rampage takedown of Forrest, 10-9 Rampage
Round 5-second closest round to evaluate, 10-9 Rampage

I had forest winning that one but it is a great example of a close one. I don't think I would have been mad if it was a draw. I would have been mad if Rampage won but that's just because I don't like the guy and never got over him beating my boy twice.

Any actual robbery. Close fight that could go either way /=/ robbery. Hendricks lost.
Nobody who claims robbery has ever been able to explain it.

2 & 4 were clear 10-9's for Hendricks. No debate whatsoever.
3 & 5 were clear 10-9's for GSP. No debate whatsoever.
The first round was razor close. Could you score it for Hendricks? Yes. But you could also score it for GSP.
Dead even in striking. If you watched that fight played back in a video game with two ordinary fighter avatars you would say close as hell. Could go either way. Literally the opposite of a Robbery.

If it was so close of a fight, wouldnt you just look at those two guys at the end? GSP got the fk beat outta him. Enough to retire on the spot

Rampage was as arrogant as they come in the fight world yet I still believe the UFC screwed him without an immediate rematch. To appease and make up
for it afterward the org. allowed Shogun to get his title rematch, same situation.

Basically what I am saying is even if a person thought Forrest won, it did not bother me as much as the fact no rematch happened

Without context of round by round breakdown, all of this means nothing.

That's how MMA fights are scored so pointing to a guy's face literally and i mean literally means nothing in terms of who won, without breaking down the rounds.

Yep, two rounds each, and one close enough to go either way. Soooooo, i would go by ''the whoever got their ass kicked look'' to decide. But, i think im in the minority here.
