UFC is hurting Hendo by always giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[Themonsoon]

Yes he always comes back but how many times are they gonna give him more time just to try and come back.

Most refs would have waved the fight off in the first when Hendo was badly hurt in the first yet they keep letting gis brain take a pounding.

Hendo is a legend but the ufc is hurting him big time by having there refs give him unusual recovery time.

Its not the UFC's job, but I agree. I can think of at least 3 or 4 wins of Hendo's where he should have lost by TKO but the ref let it continue

 

[cabear]

Hendo went out like a boss. A long ass career and knocked out someone who was supposed to have best him. Fucking good on him.

Hendo is tough as nails and a legend, so yes he deserves the opportunity. He already has brain damage. That's up to him if he wants to keep going. I didn't give hendo much of a chance, but am very happy to be wrong.

Wow, someone has no clue how the sport works. The refs are not part of the UFC.

If you think these refs are not influenced by the ufc well then i don't know what to tell you.

Hendo doesnt give a fuck. Just goes to show what would have happened in the Mousasi fight had they let it go on, the guy is a warrior. Only person who is fast and powerful enough to actually starch him is belfort

Know who your reffing Henderson should always get the benefit of the doubt, he's earned it. Thats what bugged me about hendos ko over Fedor. It's like that not Jonathan Goulet that's Fedor. Give him a chance. Referees try to decide the outcome way to early nowadays and the fans seem to like it.
Some fighters are known for taking a beating a d coming back. These guys are fighters . Stop worrying about them.

The title says the UFC is giving Hendo the benefit of the doubt...

I think that it is the ref's call, and they do give more 'time' to some fighters than others. With that being said I still believe it is the commissions responsibility to penalize ref's for bad judgement calls.

I do not think it is an easy job to be a ref, knowing exactly when to jump in and when not to can be a hard call sometimes I'm sure. It normally takes place within a split second or so. Easy for us with pause and replay and no emotion or adrenaline running through us.

Yeah, I'm sure Dana personally delivered a memo saying to let Hendo recover. Give me a break. If the UFC had any kind of control Dana would have never been complaining about someone like Steve Mazagatti, they would have gotten rid of him after one fuck up.
