Name a bigger robbery than GSP vs Hendricks?

[SkinnyClaw]

Leech vs Drod

 

[Bouboumaster]

Jones / Reyes for goddamn sure and arguably

Jones vs Santos
Jones vs Gus

 

[Bagatur]

a fight that came down to scoring a single round (with pretty much everyone agreeing about the scores for the other four) is a robbery?

 

[Chillez]

Machida vs Shogun

 

[Gregoire1]

Khabb vs Tibau

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Bas Rutten/Kevin Randleman

That one was the worst. You could see how desperate they were to put the belt on Bas. I remember the commentators trying to justify it afterwards but they knew it was a bullshit decision. I think Randleman would have had to have killed him in order to win that fight.

 

[TGArthur]

Did you not watch the recent Paddy fight?

 

[deanambrose]

William Knight vs Marcin Prachnio

Did you see what Knight's body did to Prachnio's foot? His foot was balloon! So much damage. Also who was fresher after the fight? Knightmare!
Yet decision went to polish fighter. Robbery of the highest orda!

 

[jooohnmatrix]

Nick Diaz Vs that pity patty point punching clown that the metrosexuals loved.

 

[Elvis.]

Didn't we go over this hundreds of times before?
I don’t think a lot of people understand what “robbery”means

 

[mahavishnunj]

The biggest robbery is taking up the one line space with yet another "robbery" thread.

If it were two more rounds, he might have. Bas' face was a mess after that fight, dropped the belt, claimed he was leaving the division, but just disappeared.
NO MAS

Islam vs Volkanovaki was the worst robbery I have ever seen or will ever see.

So you only watched one MMA fight and decided it wasn't for you?

Literally was reminded of Bisping vs Silva and had to find this post.

although it was close Anderson deserved the stoppage for the flying knee. And I still felt like Anderson won his rounds definitively, while Bisping edged his rounds.

Nah he didn't. The round was over as soon as Bisping hit the ground and was already yelling at Herb about his mouthpiece before Herb got to him. No stoppage.

I agree Silva clearly won his exchanges, but he just didn't exchange enough. Bisping won correctly

 

[HavokHarmon]

Of course it's possible, this is just a troll thread, Pearson vs Sanchez and there are many, GSP v Jonny was not a robbery.

Yeah that one was bad, right up there with Garcia vs Nam Pham/Jung where I just can’t imagine someone actually scoring the fight for the announced winner. I don’t think the bigger fights people talk about really fall into that category.

 

[clutchCAT420]

Diaz vs thay dude from jackson academy. The one that ran away for 5 rounds.

 

[Mind Mine]

Of course it's possible, this is just a troll thread, Pearson vs Sanchez and there are many, GSP v Jonny was not a robbery.

Pearson vs Sanchez was a bigger robbery we agree but claiming GSP didn’t get away with one is laughable

 

[old school 2]

Jones vs Santos
Jones vs Reyes
Jones vs Gustafsson are all equally bad

And yeah Hendricks did more damage and seemed to have more octagon control

I agree and since none of the fighters that got the gifted decisions ever fought again in that weight class I think they agree with us too.

 

[Diamondsareforever47]

The good thing about it is less and less people cosign this as time passes. Keep hope alive maybe they’ll believe it once again

The only one that really bothers me of those 3 is the Gust loss

 

[Kb7]

Only 2 robberies I consider in all my years of watching MMA, Shogun Vs Machida and Gordon vs Paddy.

All the rest of proclaimed robberies are so competitive that they couldve gone either way.

Not even just a single round, but pretty much which 5 seconds or so of the round you prefer. People just don't use the actual scoring criteria.
