So after the emotions have settled abit, more people are coming out and saying the decision was probably accurate
Rounds 2 and 4 were clearly Hendricks.
Rounds 3 and 5 were marginally GSP.
Round 1 could have gone either way. GSP had more take downs, and the sub attempt. Hendricks more striking. But more than a few people are saying they are leaning towards a GSP round.
The issue I think is the rounds that Hendricks won, he clearly won, where the rounds that GSP won, he was just a little better. Hendricks could have secured the win if he didn't let off the gas going into the 5th but I think he thought he had it in the bag and just cruised thru the round trying not to lose.
Im going to re watch the fight again tonite, but as per the rules of the 10 point scoring system the fight may actually be a win for GSP after all.
I really feel bad for GSP tho. Hes taking alot of heat for the bad decision (not his fault) and for wanting to step aside for abit (his fault, but can you blame him? Anderson said the same thing). The guy has been an incredible money maker, very much a company man, for 8 years including a near career ending knee injury. He has the most in ring fight time of any fighter in UFC history (high milage), has been the champion for fucking ever, and has so many high level sponsors and all the UFC promoting and everything. Its fairly well known he has some head issues, and I think they are probably catching up to him. The guy needs some time off, away from the spot light. Everyone does.
