WTF TOTAL BULL****

If Edgar was champ he gets that decision. Total garbage. Closer to 49-46 Edgar than 48-47 Henderson obviously

******ed. **** you judges.

49-46?

I'll have to rewatch, but live I don't see a way edgar won any more than 3 rounds...

This **** is rigged. May as well be WWE.

FWIW, Edgar was -600 between the end of the fight and when the decision was read.

i can't be too angry about it. i didn't think frankie won it clearly. thought he won it close. can't leave it to a judge. his own fault for not attempting to finish more than he did.

WWE is officially less rigged than UFC and boxing

Feel sorry for Bendo getting booed, but that was a bull**** decision, one of the worst in a long time, since Phan/Garcia imo.

On the plus side, your NEEEEEWWWW Featherweight Champion.

Garbage decision cost me 1k and change, sigh.

You could easily make the case Edgar won rd 3, even if he didn't though I think he won 2, 4, 5.

Frank Edgar got robbed. I had it 49-46 too, I'm glad I arbed out of 30% of my parlay to guarantee a profit but wow. Felt Henderson only won the first, though 3rd and 4th were close.

4th was very clear imo.

please spare me the "you gotta take it from the champ!!" that's some of the most ******ed bs in fighting history.

I can see why Bendo won so i won't say robbery, but competent judges would not be swayed into scoring fifth for bendo just because he had some good moments to close the round.

what a sweat, never ez, wasnt suppose to look like that, thought it coulda gone either way at the end. but looking at those stats, it certainly makes sense why bendo won.

punch stats have had it wrong many times in both boxing and mma. It's only accurate if it's point fighting like in the olympics, but it's not.

3 could've gone either way but I just don't see how someone can say 2, 4, 5 wasn't Edgar.

Just because you don't dominate someone doesn't mean you didn't clearly win.

the 5th was closer than the 4th. Frankie won 2 4 and 5 clearly, 3 was a flip, Bendo won 1

Super frustrating that two of my big underdog bets have been robbed in recent cards, Guida over Maynard and Edgar over Henderson.

I feel so sorry for Frankie right now, it wasn't his best fight, but he clearly did enough to win.

He'll get a shot at Aldo as consolation but still. Super tilting as that swing just robbed me of 11u or something

If the fight was scored as a whole it's a flip

Under the 10 point system, i'd like to see you make a case for which 3 rounds Bendo won and why.

You got it in bad and sucked out. It happens, but it's tilting to those of us on the other side.

no need to feel sorry for Frankie. He got a similar (if not worse) decision against bj the first time, and without that "win" he never would be where he's at today.

but give him instant titlefight vs. Aldo please.

round 2 Edgar clearly won

I assume round 4 is the other round you scored for frankie? Takedown, control and a submission attempt, and neither of them landed anything round altering standing

r3 is a flip i can give you that

r1 is bendo

so how does bendo win r5 exactly, a head kick that glanced and did no real damage when edgar outstruck him all round?

I thought Edgar clearly won 2 and 5, henderson had 1 clearly and probably just about got 3......Henderson also landed good few sig strikes in 4 even though it was still super close!!
In summary Ive no idea why the hell ye are talking about round 5 its 4 that people should rewatch

I can't feel too bad for Frank Edgar since he robbed BJ to even get to this position in the first place.

I was really hoping to bet Diaz against Edgar as an underdog but I'll have to console myself with Aldo.

Don't know what to think about Diaz/Henderson. Been thinking for a long time that I was gonna be all over Bendo but I just don't know any more.
