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

[Shadey1]

Probably going to get hate for this but I always felt Volkanovski beat Max the second time out. I felt Max had the early rounds but by the end Volkanovski had taken the fight back.

Yan vs O'Malley. I'm sorry.

was going to say the same. By the scoring system yan probably should have won but o’malley did way more damage

 

[campbecc]

Condit clearly beat Diaz

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

Round 2 | 10-9 Hendricks
1st Minute: Hendricks; striking (wobbled GSP)

Round 3 | 10-9 GSP

2nd Minute: GSP; striking

1st Minute: GSP; striking
2nd Minute: Hendricks; top control, short elbow cut after GSP slipped/tripped

And the tradition is in rounds where you don't know who won you give it to the champ. I don't agree with that but in the official MMA rules it says not to give an even round because you can't determine who won so giving the round to the champ is at least as good as flipping a coin.

Amanda vs Shev 2! Nunes didn't fight great either, but Shevchenko did absolutely nothing to deserve a win!

And her trying to justify it post fight interview saying "Look at her nose, her nose is red" was one of the most embarrassing moments i've seen so far. If in 25 min you're bragging about giving someone a red nose, sry, but just go home...

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 will have to rewatch because it's been ages, but based on memory the fight wasn't remotely competitive with Hamill winning the striking and wrestling in all 3 rounds.

Paddy vs Gordon

 

[mahavishnunj]

Liked for the bravery. Replied cuz you're fuckin mental, bruv

Lol, I know. It's close to saying,"UFC 1 rules", but I'm not opposed to anything that would eliminate close/split decisions.

Definitely not the case. Hamill won the first round, but the second and third were close. I had Bisping edging those last two rounds. Sherdog and fightmetric also had Bisping winning, whatever that's worth.

Volk-Max both times
Jones-Reyes
Jones-Gus
Fedor-Arona
GSP-Hendricks

 

[Ibm]

GSP vs Hendricks for sure.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

If the judges got it right, how is it a Robbery TS, you idiot?

 

[Strijfy]

Volk vs Islam
While it was closer than anyone could have anticipated, it was still a clear win for Islam.
Volk having some success for a minute in the final round doesnt give you the win.
It was only controversial because of the Dagistani hate .

Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin 1

 

[AmonTobin]

Aren't true robberies the ones where everyone disagrees with the judges' decision?

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

You can afford to use your brain here

It wasn't IMHO however a lot of people think it was even though it literally could have went either way.

While agreeing with you, I can still see why that one is controversial.
Almost everyone can recognise that Holloway had the upper hand in the beginning and that Volk did at the end. (You would find a similar crossing in, e.g., Aldo - Edgar 1). The million dollar question is, just when did the balance tip? I can see people disagreeing on that and scoring the fight differently as a result.

 

[Craig Hogg]

Never rewatched it but I remember thinking Yadong deserved the win against Cry Baby Chito.

 

[RufusShinra]

Hendricks won the 5th? Word? The round he coasted and did nothing?

Did nothing? He went 70% bro
