I actually like the decision but 49-46 is laughable, and 48-47 Hendricks would have been fine and so are 48-47 Lawler and 49-46 Hendricks although I do think r1 was pretty clear for Lawler

Really? I thought my bet was a lock. Can't believe he lost that.

I can't believe this. Amazing. I mean it's not *that* bad to give Lawler rounds 1 and 4 since they were relatively close but jesus ****ing christ how do you give him 4-1? Rounds 2 and 3 were closer to 10-7 Hendricks than 10-9 Lawler. Rofl.

Does feel like a suckout, but I did have it 48-47 Lawler even though Hendricks controlled the majority of the fight I def think Lawler won r1/5 and comes down to if the end of r4 overrides the rest of the round

I'm going to be pissed if we have to sit through a trilogy match straight away though I want to see Rory or Lombard against these two

Hendricks should be 3/3 in title fights imo. I should also be 3/3 on betting on his title fights. Yet I'm 1/3 some how...

Hendricks didn't win that fight, tbh last one he was also super lucky.

He did beat GSP

i truly thought johnny won the fight but i also feel like he deserved to get boned by the judges. did anyone else hear him walk away
"tough guy he is" with such a smug look like there was no way he could possibly have lost the fight. im genuinely pleased, robbie wanted it more and johnny was complacent.

I think r4 was closer to going Hendricks than r1 tbh. Lawler won the first 3-4 mins pretty handily and did a lot more damage in r1, but in r4 Hendricks clearly won most of the round, then Lawler landed the most significant damage of the round

I have no problem with Hendricks giving away the decision because he did but 49-46 is insanely bad.

Agreed. Hendricks was the better fighter, but just bizarre decisions to press for takedowns that clearly weren't there cost him the fight, as I feel his kickboxing was a notch above basically the whole fight. Have to point to his conditioning I think?

Also not sure how that can be anything but 48-47 either way, felt pretty clear that round 1 was the tossup round.

And holy ****ing **** what a ******ed corner. Why did they tell him to press him up against the cage like that and get into compromising positions just hugging his legs and eating shots when he was doing better in the center of the cage just spamming leg kicks? I mean he gave up 2 rounds he should have easily won for being a ******. Whatever he's a dumb hick anyway, glad he lost.

Nobody thinks that except that 1 judge

It comes down to who you scored rounds 1 and 4 for - 5 was clear Lawler, 2 and 3 were clear Hendricks, and 1 and 4 were both close, I happened to score both for Lawler but you can make a case for both for Hendricks

I'd need to rewatch 1 and 4, but I think 1 is more clearly Lawler than 4 is. Those were powerful knees Lawler landed in the first 3 minutes and Hendricks just got a meaningless takedown and some weak punches which were matched by Lawler's

I agree. Awful corner advice when Hendricks was clearly winning the kickboxing in r4 especially if he kept it standing he's just up 3 rounds, instead he ended up on bottom and gave the round away

Yeah being serious, stand up was pretty even and that sub 9/10 ends as guy in your guard.

I had money on Gill though so likely have to re-watch without rose tinted glasses

gl on this, on merit I think you win. Not on the main card though and it was a sloppy brawl but it was probably the most entertaining fight that didn't end quickly

I hope Pennington, Duffee and Samman all get bonuses. I guess Ferguson/Trujillo could get FOTN too but i'd give it to White/Collard probably

Pennington/duffe/Samman/Pettis should all get POTN. Then just get rid of FOTN.

You can lose the round and be winning the fight.

It literally just happened in the Ferguson fight.

Pettis was always finishing that the way the second round was going.
