I agree that any 3 outcomes - Hendricks, Lawler, or a draw - would have been perfectly acceptable. It was close and just came down to round 4. Do you prefer to reward a guy for a bit of striking and takedowns that go nowhere for 4 minutes, or the guy who tries to actually effectively harm his opponent for 30 seconds?
There's probably no "right" way to decide, but I go with the latter.
Hendricks' problem, if not an injury, was trying to coast round 5, just like he tried to do against GSP. The difference is his corner actually told him not to this time; he just didn't have it in him to do otherwise.
