Everyone is missing the REAL issue here...

The REAL issue here is being over looked by pretty much everyone, including DFW. Hendricks won the fight no doubt, he beat up GSP badly. Just like Gustafsson beat up Jones badly, but with the way fights are scored i can see how GSP could have been given the judges decision. The problem is with how MMA fights are being scored in general, not with the outcome of certain fights. The ONLY way to fix things is to rethink the system.
 
For example, if someone scrapes the first four rounds of a five round fight, and then gets the fucking everlasting shit kicked out them in the last round and saved by the bell, did they win the fight? Of course not, but it would be scored 46-48, if not 46-49.
 
PS, that is one of the reasons why the early UFCs were so great. 

Thuglife13 - B.J. Penn is the only Champ who's gotten screwed in a title fight. Jones, Machida, and GSP (last night) got the benefit of being a Champ. B.J. Penn didn't...


Fair enough, but GSP and Jones both clearly lost the fights, however there is an argument to be made that they were scored correctly. It needs to change.
