1,2,4 Hendricks. Didn't think that was really a dispute. Oh well. "I don't remember the fight. I've been punched so I can't answer questions."

[terrible]

Look what I just found.

He tapped out in round 1

I noticed that live too, definitely looked like he tapped but he didn't look like he was in enough trouble to tap so it doesn't really make sense.

 

[industrian]

Found here.

Koscheck's done.

They are trying to find Georges. He forgot where he was and wandered off.

“I can’t say something happen to me. I have no proof. I just don’t know. But I’m going to tell you something and I’m going to be honest about it. Sometimes, I’m looking at the clock. And It’s like I wake up and I look at the clock right after, and it’s like the clock advance like four hours, or two hours. There’s a time zone that I don’t remember what happened…. Or I can drive my car and it already happen. I drove my car in a normal day, going somewhere, and I look, and it’s two hour pass. Two hour had just pass like this (snaps fingers) … This is like a third-type encounter.”

Aliens man, aliens.

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

Rashad is on fox sports commentating, supposedly for free. So who knows if there will be a presser.

Plenty of fighters have made similar comments about not remembering a fight or moments in it.

LOL You're tripping hard. Watch more MMA outside of GSP fights.

 

[Jayhawk]

This fight just reinforces my belief that the unified MMA rules suck for scoring, and that PRIDE rules were awesome.

 

[MyAbsolution]

That was a tap... ouch. Looks like he went for it half a second before gsp let go lol. Mind you, I don't think it counts as a tap, because gsp let go right as it was about to happen. So he was GOING to.

Yea he said all this on Rogans podcast. He's going off the deep end.

 

[manfestival]

Look what I just found.

He tapped out in round 1

The guy in the table behind me kept yelling "HE TAPPED HE TAPPED MAN! THE JUDGE DIDNT GET TO SEE HIM TAP!"

I wanted him to shut up so much

 

[alr1ght]

You guys aren't serious about actually thinking he tapped there, right?







right?

1,2,4 Hendricks. Didn't think that was really a dispute. Oh well. "I don't remember the fight. I've been punched so I can't answer questions."

As it happened I thought it was either a draw or a really close round for GSP. Standup was really close, GSP had a takedown that led to a submission attempt so I gave him the slight edge. Hendricks's takedown in round three led to nothing, so I gave that one to GSP. People complaining about bad judging when they should be complaining about bad rules just makes it seem like nobody knows the rules. Aside from the first round there seems to be no objection to how the fight was scored. So how does one close round going the other way make it a robbery?

Dana was apparently just interviewed on the FS1 post-show, I guess that's why the PC is late... I really wish we got those here in Canada. Not like anything better is on.

[AranhaHunter]

I can't tell if people are trolling or really thinking that's a tap

 

[Jitters]

Man how long until this conference starts it's 2am over here!

These things always take FOREVER to start.

I thought that was about GSP suffering neurological damage because of fighting, but it's just GSP trolling Joe Rogan cause Joe believes all sorts of weird shit.

Host Joe Rogan asked GSP how long he’s been experiencing these encounters. “Since I’m a kid,” St-Pierre answered.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Conference is starting!

The post fight is on FS1 now? Damn, I get that in HD. I been skipping the fuel ones because Fios doesnt carry Fuel HD.

 

[dem]

I definitely noticed that "tap" in the first round...

Didn't know what to make of it

 

[ShogunX]

LOL You're tripping hard. Watch more MMA outside of GSP fights.

Was weird though. Noticed it at the time, no reason for Hendricks to make a tapping motion in that situation at all.

I know it was nothing but why would Hendricks run the risk of potentially being stopped? Few things about the UFC have been a little shady recently.

 

[Coldnoodle]

DANA WHITE MAD

 

[Lazlo]

It's conference go time!

 

[alr1ght]

we have video

[KissVibes]

Was CM Punk there with Chael??

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I can't tell if people are trolling or really thinking that's a tap

The type of people who think that was a tap are the same type who think Bruce Lee would legit beat anyone in MMA.

 

[Seik]

I don't know why, now I have an urge to play Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag..

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

While people might think this decision is "bad" for the UFC, it's literally the exact opposite.

1 - This gets a TON of press now, good or bad
2 - This sets up a rematch, where hendricks will try to knock GSP out next fight.

Uncle Danga creamin his pants. More surgery for card girls.

 

[LowEndTorque]

lol. This decision brought down sherdog.

 

[Wynnebeck]

You guys aren't serious about actually thinking he tapped there, right?

Anything to prop up Grease.

 

[Fifty]

This is already a record amount on on-camera time for Joe Silva. #morejoesilva

 

[Caspel]

But he would. Movies tell me so.

 

[Heel]

@arielhelwani 4m
Oh man. You must must see Dana's intv on the post-fight show on FS 1. Can't remember him this mad in a while. Trust me on this.

Keith Kizer and NSAC about to get soul burnt.

 

[MyAbsolution]

I think Johnny won easy, but that still kinda looked weird. Like he was gunna tap. So calm down folks. No one is trying to justify GSP winning lol.

And definitely beats Shogun/Machida 1 as worst title fight decision.

 

[Madness]

I had Hendricks win 3-2, but I could see judges give a round to GSP who had the superior striking, octagon control, pushed the pace. All comes down to whether you view takedown and ground and pound late in the round more important than standup.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Aliens man, aliens.

Holy shit guys, I went to go watch the interview...
