Thought it was a great event tonight.

Anyone else think Johny Hendricks got robbed? I see him winning 1,2,4 for sure. You see the two after the fight and Hendricks was in much better shape. I think it's a case of, you have to decisively beat the champ to truly win.

I just feel bad for the guy, because if GSP wasn't "the champ", I don't see how he could have been given that fight. And GSP is amazing, but Hendricks beat him tonight IMO

Im with you...

I thought Hendricks had him start to finish save for a 2-3 minute stretch in the 3rd where GSP got really comfortable, but Hendricks still got a late takedown...

Just look at their faces at the end of the fight...that shouldve said enough...

Loved Hendricks post fight interview...He was mad, and rightfully so.

Yeah, it just was pretty disappointing. I guess two of the judges went 1,3,5 to GSP. And the other judge gave the first to Hendricks. I just don't get it..... May be if I'm there I have a different opinion. But FoxSports1 said some website, MMADecisions had 15 people judging it, and they all saw it 48-47.

It's just disappointing. I mean, definitely worse than Gustaf vs Jones. I saw Jones winning that. I got that. But 1,2,4 Hendricks. I definitely understand why he was upset.

The other matches were great though, the split decision in the Lawler fight was correct. Lawler beat MacDonald. I was surprised Kos got KO'd so fast. He should have worked more for take downs against Woodley. Kos doesn't have a great chin, and I was thinking it was stupid how he was trying to stand there with Woodley.

And I love watching Cowboy. That guy's great.

But it's just tough to stomach that Hendricks loss

And I think it's totally unfair how Dana White has been talking about GSP tonight. GSP wants time off, he deserves time off. He just sounded pathetic. St. Pierre owes the UFC and Dana nothing. It's not his fault that no one can beat him. His personal life and his personal life's issues are his business. In life there's other thing than your job.

You have to take care of yourself, because if you don't, no one else will. It's not his fault that Hendricks deserves a rematch after that BS judging fight. It's as if, if you have the belt, you're stuck with the darn thing. UFC shouldn't be run like the mafia

Ugh ! That was a horrible decision ! Hendricks busted GSP up the whole night and got jobbed big time . As far as him retiring I do think that he has reached the point where it makes since . Due to this juding debacle he gets to go out on top . I would love to not like GSP but the guy is a class act from beginning to end . Now maybe it is time for his protege to shine once he rebounds from the asskicking Lawler gave him .

p.s.
I was so happy to see that douche Koscheck just got CRUSHED .

Agreed. I like GSP a lot, but I admit, I was rooting for Hendricks because at some point, everyone has to lose. But GSP has really taken the sport to another level, and for Dana to get after him like that just drives me nuts. White is just such an arrogant four letter word........ The guy isn't god, and I think he needs to get that out of his head.

I do think MacDonald will continue to get better though. I think the loss is a wake up call for him, and he will start using takedowns/wrestling more. I couldn't believe he was going to try and stand with Lawler. Seemed to me that he should have a serious advantage on the ground, although even when he got him there, he couldn't do anything. And he didn't have any urgency. Come the third round, he went after him at the very end pummeling him with elbows, but that should have happened earlier. Standing with Robbie Lawler doesn't usually make much sense. I'd normally say that about Ellenberger too, but Lawler has a different mindset. He'll take a few shots to get his chance to throw some hooks and uppercuts. Brawling is his style and it works, unless you're a young Nick Diaz and do your little head shake, flip the bird a few times, get him all upset, make him over commit and then knock him out

One of the worst decisions I've ever seen. Only rds gsp came close to winning was 3 and 5. His attack didn't hurt Hendricks at all, and gsp was overpowered on several occasions. It's getting embarrassing for the ufc, that you have to knockout the champion to get his belt. Gsp didn't get finished, but he was beat up, and thoroughly outclassed in this one.
