max power -  further proof the fight was way too close for a true winner and loser to be chosen

Agreed. If a fight's this close, it's no robbery. It can go either way. Simple as that.

Hendo won 2 rounds to 1.

Granted the rounds were quite close, Rich had a very, very slight edge in the standup with shots landed but Hendo landed more power shots, Hendo had all the takedowns and controlled the ground.

Close fight but Hendo edged it.

 I had Hendo winning too....I think there were some intangibles in the fight that the fightmetric report just doesn't capture.  It was very close but it was Dan who was dictating the first and second rounds IMO.

Franklin edged the standup in two rounds but wasnt dominant enough to offset the points from Dan's ground game.

Rich did not have a single takedown the whole fight. Did he really do enough on his feet to offset that?

nah
