He got robbed.
Gsp is amazing and he was competitive but Hendricks was the guy who did more work and had more dominant rounds. Gsp only clearly win round 5 every other round leans towards Hendricks.
A sad situation. 
You gotta finish the champ! How many times has this happened now, see jones Gustafson 
i thought hendricks won, as did a good portion of everyone. they'd have to rematch if gsp doesn't retire i'd think.
The Ghost of Eatonbeever - You gotta finish the champ! How many times has this happened now, see jones GustafsonYa not similar. Look at Hendricks and look at gus
I agree but a rematch was inevitable, johny would have to beat him again anyways

Finish a champion that always wins on points? a point champ doesn't get that luxury of beat the champ to beat the champ....
he got out landed and coasted the 5th. It was there for the taking and he took it easy
mancabbage - he got out landed and coasted the 5th. It was there for the taking and he took it easyEven with round 5 gsp lost

Agreed GSP plays it safe and never takes a chance. Hasn't finished anyone in years so its bs to say someone has to finish him to take the title. If he wins by the point fighting game than he sure as hell should be able to lose by it.
People really need to check up on definitions of terms before they throw them out there. It was a close fight.
It was not a robbery or a domination by either guy in the slightest. It was a close fight and by definition could not be a domination or a robbery.
The Sultan - People really need to check up on definitions of terms before they throw them out there. It was a close fight.This. Not a robbery. I think hendrix won rounds 1,2, and, 3, although I believe georges did out strike Hendricks in round two.

Damage (or looking damaged) has nothing to do with scoring points under the unified rules.
All bouts will be evaluated and scored by 3 judges who shall evaluate the contest from different location around the ring/fighting area. The referee may not be one of the 3 judges.
The 10-Point Must System will be the standard system of scoring a bout. Under the 10-Point Must Scoring System, 10 points must be awarded to the winner of the round and 9 points or less must be awarded to the loser, except for a rare even round, which is scored (10-10).
Judges shall evaluate mixed martial arts techniques, such as effective striking, effective grappling, control of the ring/fighting area, effective aggressiveness and defense.
Evaluations shall be made in the order in which the techniques appear in (c) above, giving the most weight in scoring to effective striking, effective grappling, control of the fighting area and effective aggressiveness and defense.
Effective striking is judged by determining the total number of legal strikes landed by a contestant.
Effective grappling is judged by considering the amount of successful executions of a legal takedown and reversals. Examples of factors to consider are take downs from standing position to mount position, passing the guard to mount position, and bottom position fighters using an active threatening guard.
Fighting area control is judged by determining who is dictating the pace, location and position of the bout. Examples of factors to consider are countering a grappler's attempt at takedown by remaining standing and legally striking, taking down an opponent to force a ground fight, creating threatening submission attempts, passing the guard to achieve mount, and creating striking opportunities.
Effective aggressiveness means moving forward and landing a legal strike.
Effective defense means avoiding being struck, taken down or reversed while countering with offensive attacks.
The following objective scoring criteria shall be utilized by the judges when scoring a round:
a round is to be scored as a 10-10 round when both contestants appear to be fighting evenly and neither contestant shows clear dominance in a round;
a round is to be scored as a 10-9 round when a contestant wins by a close margin, landing the greater number of effective legal strikes, grappling and other maneuvers;
a round is to be scored as a 10-8 round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
a round is to be scored as a 10-7 round when a contestant totally dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
Judges shall use a sliding scale and recognize the length of time the fighters are either standing or on the ground, as follows:
if the mixed martial artists spent a majority of a round on the canvas, then:
Effective grappling is weighed first; and
Effective striking is then weighed
If the mixed martial artists spent a majority of a round standing, then:
Effective striking is weighed first; and
Effective grappling is then weighed
A round is to be scored as a 10-8 round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
If a round ends with a relatively even amount of standing and canvas fighting, striking and grappling are weighed equally.
doing damage is effectively striking. they are one in the same. or more specifically apart of the category of effective striking.
Only way to look at fights that go to a decision is like 5 (or 3) separate fights. When you have 3 appointed officials by the state there, you will get 3 different opinions cause they are human. Sadly, robot judges haven't been made yet. Could use fight metrics, but that doesn't tell the full story either.
Don't like the state appointed judges, don't put on shows there. I'm sure Vegas will survive.
Damage is near on irrelevant
The Ghost of Eatonbeever - You gotta finish the champ! How many times has this happened now, see jones GustafsonYep it looks like if your the champ you don't need to win the fight these days, just survive it.
2 of the 3 thought Hendrix lost. He detox lost the fight by being passive in the 5th round. his corner should be skinned for not telling him to go all out in the 5th.
