UFC 167, November 16th Las Vegas, Nevada
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
I had it 48-47 Hendricks but I don't remember round 1 being dominated by anyone - I watched it waiting for Hendricks to land the KO blow
I remember L-Wood said back in Pride that judges just scored who the winner was instead of scoring rounds, or something along those lines. If it was judged that way then I think Johnny was the clear winner - He dominated his 2 rounds that he won

This sport will never get get credibility until they fix the scoring. I don't know if I can stomach much more of this. If you thought GSP won, you're a fucking retard homer. I watched the fight with a lot of non-MMA fans and they all asked me about whether or not it was "fixed". That's all you need to know. When people think the outcome is rigged, they go away. Good luck UFC. You better find a way to fix this, or you'll never be more than a fringe sport.
Wow.
Wow.
Agree....gonna drive away a lot of current fans and newbies. Same thing IMO goes for the GUS and Bones fight. Curious to hear why GSP is disappearing now and to see Dana's reaction.
the boxing 10 point must system just doesn`t work for mma....they rarely give 2 point rounds and damage isn`t a part of the criteria....a very close round is basically scored the same as a more dominant round.....it`s ridiculous...mma and boxing are different
i lost a few dollars on hendricks....i thought hendricks(by any objective criteria) should have won...but,i also thought that the 1st was really close...and i was pretty surprised that hendricks was so comfortable thinking that he had 3 of the first 4 rounds in his back pocket...he`s already had at least one split decision in his career and everybody knows how bad mma judging is...
i really think that hendricks is at least somewhat responsible for what happened because he basically laid down in the 5th( he was taken down twice and looked totally disinterested)....all during the round i was saying to the better half that i didn`t understand why he wasn`t finishing with more urgency...he really gave the 5th away....didn`t make any sense after seeing bad decision after bad decision handed down by the boxing judges that they have scoring mma.....
feel bad for hendricks(and my money)...but i give credit to st pierre for continuing to fight hard when it looked pretty grim for him...

You should know better.
UFC, Bellator, and all other MMA organizations in North America have nothing to do with it. They can't do shit.
Some fighters had it for GSP............but not many:142smilie

Kind of sounds like GSP is going to retire for good.
He will be missed, the greatest ever looks like he's done for good.
