MrStuffins

Good fight. Was closer than 30-27 but a good win for Pettis in the end.

She is the worst ref by an absolute mile. She is going to get someone hurt very soon.

I remember her reffing a heavyweight fight one night and she struggled to pull the fighter off the chap getting battered.

Ouch. Felt that all the way here.

Prelim link wont work for me for some reason.

Story looked really good, didn't realize he beat Hendricks makes me think twice about the outcome of the main event :P

Being picky about this fight he should of put that to bed in 2/3rd round.

MrStuffins

Can never stand to watch Leites fight. He's not quite the Ben Askren type of fighter who likes to nullify with grappling but he's not far off it.

SRFC

Almost fell asleep there :rolleyes:

user2011

Not a good fight, for the attempts at finishing it, it never looked like coming ever.

user2011

Come on Cowboy, wake us up

Podge2k7

Can't wait for this.I l love GSP and his style, he controls his division, but I hope Hendricks sparks him!

user2011

Cowboy

The guy can look f**king awesome makes me wonder is it when he gets close to the belt is it mental issues that stops him? Real shame if it is and hope he can overcome it.

Lenin Skynard

What a card so far tonight, every fight has been great. I'd love to see Lawlor get one of his signature knockouts here but I think McDonald might be too good and have the technique to avoid it.

MrStuffins

The closer this fight gets, the more I think Hendricks is gonna pull this off

Lenin Skynard

I hate to buy into "hype" or whatever but I honestly think that Brandon Thatch will be well able to deal with the top guys in this division. He looks like he has the makings of a champion. GSP has been great but I doubt he'll be the champion much longer, Hendricks is a wrassler/heavy favoured hand guy. I think we'll end up with a proper, well rounded young fighter as champ like we have now in most of the divisions.

Whoever wins this fight won't hold the belt for much longer IMO.

Lenin Skynard

Can't see this going the five rounds.

MrStuffins

Hendricks is winning this fight.

GSP needs a finish in the last round IMO.

Lenin Skynard

An ultra-good fight.

Never been much of a GSP fan but sad to see him put in such a poor showing.

Dick phelan

3- 2 Hendrix fair play to him he seemed a top guy in the build up

empacher

And still/new ufc welterweight champion .........

MrStuffins

Robbery!

Dick phelan

**** sake no wayg GSP won that guess the stars get the decisions FFS poor Hendrix

thehairyone

Jesus!!!!!

Ahhhhh its grand

Hmmmmm, bullsh*t!!

Lenin Skynard

GSP knows it was wrong too.

user2011

4-1 loss ends up the winner :eek:

Judges wrecking this sport.

MrStuffins

Oh wow! Is GSP retiring? He almost never said what he said..weird

thehairyone

I had rounds 3 and 5 to George. Rounds 1 and 4 to Hendricks. Round 2 was tight but I thought Hendricks did enough.

Dick phelan

GSP running from a rematch? is he retiring sounded a bit like that, i mean him going away for a while might mean forever

thehairyone

Johnny not happy.

Ya close fight

Utopia Parkway

Knew GSP was going to get the nod there. He's the UFC's golden child. Hendricks had to either finish him or win it by a mile to have a chance.

Not sure what they do now with this semi-retirement business?

Should of never got off GSP in the fourth and cruised in the fifth round.

thehairyone

Heres the score card:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BZQCuFYCcAAI__a.jpg

All 3 judges scored it:

Rounds 2 + 4 - Hendricks

Rounds 3 + 5 - George

The split was in Round 1.

DerpKehoe

GSP off to Bellator to replace Askren obviously.

chuckliddell

it was 2 rounds apiece going into the fifth and GSP won the last round ,it was a very close fight but it was no robbery,

Hendrix champ in Rematch!

thehairyone

Watching the press conference. Dana is raging. Thinks Hendricks clearly won.

Most people gave Hendricks the first, second and fourth. A quick glance at the play by play of the varying websites would back that up.

Look at the damage on both fighters at the end, doesn't tell the whole story but Hendricks wasn't hurt once in that fight whereas GSP looks like he stuck his face in a blender.

It's the biggest robbery I can remember when you consider the stakes.

chuckliddell

Just seen press conference, Christ his face is a mess! 70%???!!! Wouldn't like to see it if he gave 100%

I think he could show GSP a wee bit more respect than he is.

That_Guy

Tough fight to call but I gave it to Hendricks... Just about. Enjoyed that main event. Really gave GSP a good fight.

Jimmy Bottlehead

My jaw literally dropped when they announced GSP the winner. He wasn't. He had two rounds and as close as the second round was, I gave it to Johny.
Poor lad - I'd bet against him but I was actually gutted for him. He won the fight.

Fight metric have it for Hendrix too. Im watching it with sound off at the moment and has slightly different complexion. Still close either way.....

Sugarlumps

Close? Are you kidding, GSP got annihilated.

El Guapo!

I just finished watching it now.
I have to say, I thought Hendricks won too. He clearly did more damage than GSP did and he should have the belt now.
The one thing I will say is that you can't base it on the state of GSP's face. He gets busted up easy enough.

It may have been a closer fight than everyone thinks, but on the first watching, the wrong decision was made.
I'll watch it again later with the sound off and I'll score the fight myself to see how close it actually was.


There was some great fights on the card though.
Really enjoyed Woodleys KO of Koscheck. That was about as sweet a KO as you can get.

Also thought the Lawlor v McDonald fight was awesome. I always liked Lawlor and I'm delighted for him.

Really impressive, dominant win from Rashad too. I hope he gets a title shot again soon before it's too late for him.

stuchyg

Just finished watching myself, defo thought Hendricks won, GSP did too judging by his muted reaction at the final bell.

Delighted ruthless got the win, I have an intense dislike for McDonald for some reason.

did anyone else notice how in shape rashad looked . He was much more ripped then he usually looked
