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

[VAfan]

you nailed it in one try. GSP hendricks was not a robbery, in spite of all the gaslighting. people were just not used to seeing GSP in a close fight.

condit diaz was another one. condit clearly won that fight, people were just confused by the fact that he was backing up the whole time. a lot of judges have that same problem. see sanchez / kampmann.

Jones/Gus 1
Hendricks/GSP
Andrerson/Brunson
Omalley/Yan

These are a few fights that people screamed robbery, I thought they were the right call.

Nick Diaz fans claim robbery with Condit, but I think Condit won that fight quite easily and I've watched that fight 3 or more times. Condit 49 - 46 (4 rounds to 1) all day long. Not that hard to determine. Sticking and moving effectively is more relevant than moving forward, talking shit and getting pieced-up.

Not ufc but I had Bad Boy Garcia 29-28 over Korean Zombie when they fought in WEC

By sticking and moving I assume you mean slapping your opponent with your toes and running away.

Yeah the Rampage / Machida one was kinda funny -- I didn't really think it was a robbery, but Rampage said after the fight that he even thought Machida won. I found it commendable, but I was like "don't sell yourself short, man" haha

Yeah it's won of those Rampage did enough tow in the firts two rounds, but Machida owned the third round which made it seem that much worse for Page

People for some reason think Frankie/BJ I was a bad decision, and the UFC must have too because they booked the immediate rematch. I think Frankie won both pretty clearly, with the 2nd being a straight up shut out.

Rampage v Machida. GSP v Penn 1. Diaz v Condit. Romero v Jacare. Khabib v Tibau.

BJ v Edgar was razor close to me. I think BJ obviously won round 1 & 2 and Edgar obviously won rounds 4 and 5, and round 3 was a toss up. The decision didn't bother me, but how two judges scored it 50-45 and 49-46 is mindboggling.

 

[Aluminati]

Condit vs Lawler at UFC 195 was the first "robbery" I actually thought was precisely the right outcome. Condit had 1 and 4 clearly, and Lawler clearly had 2 and 5. Round 3 was full of leg kicks from Condit and hard punches from Lawler. 2 judges gave Lawler 3 on damage based on impact, and the other scored for Condit on effectiveness based on the volume discrepancy (2:1).

Rampage-Machida

Yeah the Rampage / Machida one was kinda funny -- I didn't really think it was a robbery, but Rampage said after the fight that he even thought Machida won. I found it commendable, but I was like "don't sell yourself short, man" haha

Agree with this as well. Which killed me because I was a massive fan of Machida at the time, and really never liked Rampage.

My disappointment by the end of round 2 was proof Rampage won for me. Super choked when Machida couldn't get the finish.

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 know everybody loves GSP but this robbery might've ruined Hendricks career. I know Hendricks won the title after this but he never got over this one and it may have very well contributed to his 'binge eating disorder' that ended his career.

Edgar vs Penn 1.

He has had a hell of a career though. In his prime at 205, he was elite. He took it to Bones for a round even.

Volkanovski vs Holloway 2. Volkanovski won rounds 3, 4 and 5 and there were no 10-8s.

 

[Bad Karate]

Jones vs gus 1

Jones vs Reyes

Machida vs Shogun 1

99.9% of robberies are just close fights.

 

[HeffDoesWant]

99.9% of robberies are just close fights.

Disagree.

90% of robberies were fights where dominant rounds were outnumbered by close rounds.

When 90 something percent of all rounds get scored 10-9 regardless if they are exceptionally clear or basically a coin toss this will continue.

GSP Vs Penn 1

Honestly, Jones-Santos. I'm fully on the Reyes train and think anyone who mentioned it here are insane. I've gone into like a deeper-than-Weasle-like dive into those rounds multiple times, and there's no argument for Jon there imo. But anytime someone brings up Reyes, Santos isn't that far behind, but he just did not win the rounds. Ok, he demonstrated a threat to Jon, but you gotta score rounds, and he didn't.

- Anderson vs Bisping. One of the most frustrating performances ever and Anderson did virtually nothing besides the flying knee. He should have retired after this abomination.

That one really pinches my ass. People who say there was a knockout are blind as hell.. and that's not even talking about the fight. Andy gave that fight up in full. He won almost every exchange he attempted to, but he was attempting like 5 times less. Bisping volumed him the whole time he was measuring for specific shots. He didn't do enough.
