"As stated, everything came down to the first round, and the first round was very close.
Hendricks landed 27 total strikes to GSP's 26. GSP, however, would land 19 significant strikes to Hendricks' 18. Both fighters landed one takedown. GSP was also recorded as attempting a guillotine choke (though he did not come close to finishing the fight with it)."
and this nailed it imo :
"The issue is that Johny Hendricks took two rounds while Georges St-Pierre squeaked out two rounds. The 10-point must scoring system, however, makes no distinction.
It was a problem with Ben Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar 2, and it was a problem with Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jon Jones. Worse yet, nobody seems to know how to fix it."
it is all about who wins the most ROUNDS and the scoring are done at then end of each round !
not over the fight has a whole wich would of favor hendrix obviously ...
"The full fight numbers, oddly, saw Hendricks beat out GSP in total strikes 142-125, but GSP would lead in significant strikes 101-85."
total hit means nothing if the majority came in the rounds Hendrix already win .
If u take the fight as a whole hendrix did better but not that much better rounds by rounds.
GSP won close rounds while hendrix dominated the 2 round he win but not enough to get a 10-8 tho, that is the problem.
Well from the point of view of the judges.
again, another metrics from different sites...

" On the judges’ scorecards Round 1 was the only one they were split on. Most felt Hendricks won the first, but two judges gave it to GSP. The first frame saw Hendricks out-land GSP 27-26 in total strikes but GSP had the edge in significant strikes 19-18 and the two were even in takedowns at one a piece."
conclusion it is not a steal but a super close fight and either winning it was fine with me.
draw usually favor the champ for some judges that is all...
