Rewatched Hendricks vs Lawler 1....

[Fergelmince]

Juiced up Hendricks was a tough fight for anyone.

Post USADA Hendricks isn't even ufc caliber.

I'm sure Lawler and Hendricks were equally juicing in both fights.

I'm sure Lawler and Hendricks were equally juicing in both fights.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Sensational fight.

Hendricks won the first 2 rounds convincingly, showed great striking.

Lawler came back and rocked Mr 70% in the 3rd round and won the fourth round as well.

Hendricks came back and seemed to hurt Robbie in the 5th, might have been fatigure and got the takedown to secure the round and fight to become the WW champion of the world.

Both guys showed great chins and were two of the hardest hitters in the division.

Lol Robbie was laughing throughout the fight as well.

I think this is one of the most underrated fights in UFC history, both guys looked amazing and IMO I thought Hendricks beat him in the rematch.

I have no idea what happened to Johnny since then, lost the appetite and desire maybe.

bro, if anything, he gained an appetite.

People talk about food.

I like how it's taken as fact now that Hendricks is a juicer, even more than for guys who have failed tests.

The guy who gave up steroids and went up a weight class. Makes sense.

God I love prime Johnny Hendricks. Most underrated UFC fight indeed.

This is the fight that gave birth to 5th round barbarian lawler

You have to admit, the GSP situation plus the post USADA drop off is super sus.

this is the fight that birthed 5th round lawler

Hendricks showed and unreal chin in that fight. I have no idea how he survived the 3-4th round.

On a side note, this fight further illustrates how incredibly laughable the 10-9 must scoring system is....The difference between the rounds Robbie won, vs Johnny were astonishing....Yet, all 10-9 rounds...

The fact round 1 was scored exactly the same as rounds 3-4? I mean, this just can't take place...It can't...

Johnny clearly won that fight with any scoring criteria you can come up with.

damage, aggression, intention to finish?

The sad thing is that you truly don't realize that makes absolutely no sense.

And I'm certainly not arguing Johnny didn't win under the 10-9 must system.

sad for hendricks

Johnny is a winner in that fight. Johnny wins. End of.

Btw, he really won the rematch as well.

Not only did Johnny beat Lawler clearly I don't think you can even argue that it was a draw let alone a win for Lawler. Unfortunately you do not understand mixed martial arts and the various ways in which matches can be scored. Your last post proved it.

How are you insulting the integrity of that post when it's merely a sophomoric repudiation of your closed-minded attempt at reasoning (which is itself sophomoric because you close off a meaningful debate with the repetition of a dogmatic statement)?

I offered the idea that there are philosophical approaches to scoring that are more favorable to Lawler in his fights against Hendricks; mainly that he was the aggressor and showed an intention to finish the fight in every round whereas Hendricks focused on control.

...what happened?

Damn that looks good. It is probably almost 3 meals right there.
