his hand was placed in the exact spot that it should be to defend the choke. Also the choke was very loose and Hendricks has probz been chocked a million times in his life. Thinking he actually tapped is a bit crazy. Also it was on GSP, if he thought there was a tap there would have been a stop i action.

if you look closely at the GIF that "tap out" motion comes AFTER GSP lets go of his head lock not even a guillotine

How is it on GSP? HE's fighting. It's not uncommon for a fighter to not know the opponent taps. Thats why refs jump in. If anything it's on JH to accept and be honest about his decision to tap.

This is what I see. GSP has JH in a guillotine. GSP does not realize that JH can not breath and starts to release as JH starts to tap. JH starts to breath after 3-4 taps and pretends it never happened. It's still a tap out once those taps are made. If nothing else, JH should have lost for being an idiot with his hand.

If anyone hasn't seen it. This is what we are talking about.


Can anyone honestly say they have seen a fighter do this on accident before?

lulz

Even the worlds most sneeky Brazilians know that wasn't a sneeky Brazilian tap...

4:30 in...

Any joker who thinks that was even close to a tap obv knows sweet f a about bjj and mma

Wasn't a tap. There's another angle of it that shows Hendricks didn't even make contact with GSP. I'll see if I can find it in a few but the super slow mo at the end of the video linked above makes the point well.

I don't think anyone actually thinks he made contact (certainly GSP didn't feel anything) but watch that outside the context of a "wrong decision" and a debate on an internet forum. It's just such a damn odd hand movement in that spot. He even looks like he's going to tap then makes a conscious effort to pull it back.

Maybe he tapped, maybe he didn't, only JH knows what was going through his mind there, but regardless, I won't fault anyone for seeing the makings of a tap there.

I don't know if you have trouble reading or maybe english is not your first language.

significant strikes =/= hard strike

not the same thing

significant strike =/= damage


there, i said it three times. You cannot have a metric for how hard someone hits. A jab is a significant strike, as is a moderate leg kick. So is a hook to the jaw that knocks you down. The hook is many times more important than the leg kick, and they both count as one significant strike.

How do I know? I only wrote a graduate level thesis on MMA Analytics and have repeatedly conversed with the guy who created/owns fightmetric about how he collects his stats.

If you continue to post about this, I'm just going to mock you as a dumb frenchie.

gratz danny you won if that was you need to hear obviously.

you just keep focusing on this without getting the big picture on what i wrote and not seeing the implication of what you are saying , if only how hard you hit matters....

you probably tought diaz won vs condit as well.

so gratz you won and call me w.e you want.

i will not loose my time on talking with someone only understanding what he wants...ho yeah Hendrix won the fight too, like i care....

I'm honestly shocked you think GSP won.

Think I mentioned this earlier, but I watched this in a crowded bar in Ottawa and can confirm Canadians saw a very different fight than non-Canadians. There was loud cheering and "GSP! GSP! GSP!" every time he was onscreen, seemed like every person there was ecstatic and thought for sure GSP won, and I overheard stuff like "Hendricks tried hard but honestly it wasn't even a close fight..."

These fight results are going to be talked about for a long time, but I'd say that finding a guy that isn't a GSP fan that thought he won the fight is looking pretty rare.

Yeah I can see how all of Canada's casual mma fans would think GSP won.

But your all wrong!!! Just hand over the belt and no one gets hurt...

Hey Guys, I'm coming out to Vegas for the Silva Weidman rematch, not going to the fight, but I'm staying at MGM and would like to find a party close to there to watch the fight. You know of anything?

Thanks,
Rabs

PS Hendricks got robbed!

the difference between canadian and amerrican is, we do not need to win every time by w.e means, you do obv.

so in that view, i understand the usual non sense , prejudice comment from you.
Fast conclusion without much arguments, the american ( republican i need to add of course) way.

i thought the fight was a draw and i said that trough out the thread, either way i was fine with the result.
you cannot read $h!t and that goes for icmmonster too

imo chael sums this up pretty good at 45sec to 50sec, he knows it while you do not obviously.

so it was a draw imo and if you think hendrix was robbed, well i wonder what is a close fight for you... and i do not even want to know anymore!

Diaz or Maynard tonight?

Maynard should win if decides to go for the takedown tonight. If he tries to outbox him like last time Diaz will pick him apart. See it as Maynard's fight to lose. Just a matter of if he actually implements the right game plan this time around.

I got Maynard via total domination.

Diaz is a one trick pony who might be able to sub some dudes but against top tier guys, he's got nothing

Maynard easy imo.

Both diaz brothers are bad vs a1 wrestler

What sort of viewing figures would an all girl card pull?

I don't think it would be great and I wouldn't bother watching.

I want diaz to win but yeah gotta say he's not winning this one

Sick knee.

Wtf, this guy looks ****ed.

lol @ guy doing the Cartwheel/Backflip not realising he just got DQ'd

Why isn't Shayna Baszler fighting tonight? Other females who lost on TUF are getting more action, I would have thought they would want her to get more ring time. Does she have another fight or they just wanted someone else?

lol, you realize you could actually go back in this very thread and see who i thought won condit/diaz. And it wasn't diaz. looooooooooool.

no effort to actually argue anything, just butthurt. would expect nothing less from you. I would call you a dumb frenchie, but you're only fake-french, which is even funnier somehow.



Re: maynard and diaz, this is a hard fight to call because both fighters are on a downward slope. Maynard is a mystery - has he simply lost his top gear since the wars with Edgar? In the last 3 years he's got one win and it was a split decision. Fighters change a ton in that time, and we just haven't seen him be a dominant fighter in a while.

He beat Diaz by split decision in their first fight, but both fighters have changed since that last fight. I think it's a no bet at the current lines that have Maynard a very slight favorite.

This is terrible to watch.

Booooooooooooo.

How many more female fights do I have to suffer tonight.

UFC's jump into Womens MMA should have stuck to Ronda getting people in an armbar. Pretty much the whole series of Womens fights on TUF and that fight right there were terrible.
