Blame the rules, not me. In an ideal scoring system Johnny Hendricks walks away as the champion. In reality, GSP won that fight under the unified MMA rules that the Nevada State Athletic Commission uses.

Johnny is CLEARLY a better wrestler than GSP and GSP knows it (after saying he wasn't impressed with Johnny's wrestling prior to the fight).
This is the perfect opportunity for the UFC to market a 4-man tourney
Condit/Brown winner (if healthy) or Dong-Hyun Kim vs. Robbie Lawler
Jake Shields vs. Johny Hendricks
It is too bad palhares went loco or he could be a viable contender. Also, perfect time for Nick Diaz to return. Although I'm not interested in Askren, UFC may want to reconsider.

GSP should turn heel after this. Would be great for business IMO and his feud with Hendricks leading up to the rematch will be great.
Uhh I think something is going on.
After the fight he was suposed to meet and talk with the people doing the french coverage of the fight as he always does, and the commenter said that he saw GSP leaving the ring to come toward them but that his people stopped him and hurried him away.
Then he added that GSP looked very confused and that maybe it was better for him not to talk to medias in the state he seemed to be.
I hope he's ok.

Never leave it in the hands of the umps
It's the nature of combat sports, I don't like it, but that's just how it is. Same thing in the NBA, superstars draw fouls, rookies commit fouls. The Winter Olympics are almost upon us, can't wait to watch figure skating.
It is "bullshit" but it's the mindset fighters need to have.

If he waits long enough, given how stacked and dangerous the division is, I am pretty sure someone else will beat Hendricks. This paves the way for the return of GSP against someone he matches up well with.
Guess what? Hendricks tried to knock him out this match and he couldn't do it. Send him back down the wheel. Just an overconfident small town kid who flew to close to the sun. Another knockout "artist" who can't paint the picture when it counts.

For real I thought swing on a 3-2 (unless it's crazy outside) was baseball 101 for little league/high school ball.

Yeah but then GSP will be 18-24 months older. There could be some young, dynamic fighter who enters the WW division by that time the way Weidman and Bones did in their divisions. Father time is undefeated.
Didn't Hendricks's corner say it was even heading into round 3? Either way, cornermen don't judge the round. If they did then BJ Penn would be undefeated in his career.

We just have to hope that Hendricks comes back in the rematch (or interim title w/e) and knocks GSP out cold.

Johny Hendricks should have won that fight I had him winning rounds 1,2, and 4. It sucks that we pobably will not get a rematch because gsp wants to take a break or retire. If gsp does retire I hope we get condit vs hendricks for the belt because their first fight was a really good fight and could have gone either way.

And just like the Bones/Gus fight, Rogan would have you believe it was a lot different than it really was. In the 2nd and 3rd he hyped up every little pitter patter jab of Georges like it was some vicious strike.

Yea but outside of Hendricks, who has shown that level of wrestling skill and dangerous power? This is GSPs nightmare matchup at 170. GSPs formula wins score cards.
Look what I just found.

right after gsp let go too. man oh man!

Man how long until this conference starts it's 2am over here!
Maybe Hendricks is refusing to go on or GSP isn't showing either

They are trying to find Georges. He forgot where he was and wandered off.
Once Dana and Lorenzo finish their important business meeting with Swizz Beatz.
