What is a UFC "Robbery" where you think the judges were actually right.

Bisping didnt have any hatred until he got that decision though.Like that shit was his fault somehow.

Same w Machida and Shogun.

Plus the whole "hometown decision" thing. iirc, the two American judges gave it to Bisping and the lone British judge scored it for Matt.

I do remember though, that the post fight highlights of like "Let's take a look at your work here" was all just shit like, not getting taken down here or there.

Also Frankie vs Benson II was a robbery
and Jones vs Reyes

If I check out MMAdecisions, and it ain't like at least 75% maybe 70% for the loser, I don't even bother talking robbery.

Even in the individual rounds, if a round gets under that percent, then you can guess the round was actually pretty competitive. Problem is, I guess some sorta group think takes it from there. If a round hits like 85% plus, then I'll for sure review the round and it's always like, "Yeah, no arguing against that one"
 
Yans losses all were legit and not close to robberies. One “could have” gone the other way and by a slight margin at best if you over value Yan being a panic wrestler while getting pieced up. But all were legit losses.

What is a robbery that you think either wasn't a robbery or was closer than people think.

I'm gonna go first with GSP vs Hendricks. That fight was actually extremely close when you look at the score cards and it literally could have went either way. I feel people think it was a robbery more do to the fact that Hendricks was his hardest fight and won his rounds more convincingly.

GSP won 3 and 5 convincingly and Hendricks won 2 and 4 pretty convincingly (although 2 was very close but I gave it to Hendricks because he wobbled Georges)
It only came down to the first round where the stats were almost exactly even except GSP had a submission attempt so I honestly would either give the round to GSP or make it a Draw.

Name some fights you think were not really a robbery but others do.

I don't think GSP vs. Hendricks was a robbery, I think it was a close enough fight that I could see it being scored either way; it really comes down to how you score the first round as the remaining rounds are clear cut.

Round 1 | 10-10 Draw
1st Minute: GSP; takedown, guillotine attempt
2nd Minute: Hendricks; punch/elbow while defending takedown.
3rd Minute: Hendricks; takedown, clinch
4th Minute: GSP; striking
5th Minute: Draw; clinch, striking

Round 2 | 10-9 Hendricks
1st Minute: Hendricks; striking (wobbled GSP)
2nd Minute: Hendricks; striking, clinch
3rd Minute: GSP; striking
4th Minute: GSP; striking
5th Minute: Draw; striking

Round 3 | 10-9 GSP
1st Minute: Draw; striking
2nd Minute: GSP; striking
3rd Minute: Draw; striking
4th Minute: GSP, striking
5th Minute: Draw; clinch

Round 4 | 10-9 Hendricks
1st Minute: GSP; striking
2nd Minute: Hendricks; top control, short elbow cut after GSP slipped/tripped
3rd Minute: Hendricks; striking
4th Minute: Hendricks; striking, clinch
5th Minute: Draw; clinch

Round 5 | 10-9 GSP
1st Minute: Draw; takedown attempt

Bisping over Hamill.

Watching it live, I thought it was a robbery (like most people). But after watching it again, I realized it was just our collective hatred for Bisping at the time that skewed public perception.

I don't recall him being hated that much when he fought Hamill. At the time I think Hamill was probably the more disliked of the two, Bisping was still fresh off of TUF where Hamill came off worse than Bisping. The Bisping hate didn't really ramp up until around the time he fought Hendo.

Same
GSP vs Hendricks
Close, but no robbery, Hendricks threw away the fight by coasting
 
I have read that someone thinks Frankie-Bendo 1 was a robbery. I had Bendo 49-46.

Also Bendo fights with Giblert and Thomson and Cerrone in wec. None were a robbery.

Condit 1, 4, 5

<209Bitch>

Also Machida did enough in the first fight against Shogun and as the defending champ. Of course things were settled quickly in the second fight. No need to get all pissy about the result

I will never not see that shogun machida fight as 49-46 shogun.
 
GSP definitely got battered vs Hendricks. He's just populae, so people make claims
 
Condit vs. Lawler. I can't grasp why people consider this a robbery: four rounds had their respective clear winner, and the middle one was comparatively uneventful. I would see no grounds for either fighter to complain about any decision.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought Hendricks - St.-Pierre was a dead heat.
