UFC 171: Lawler vs Hendricks

That was a great fight. I thought the 1st round was much closer then Rogan was saying. I guess Johny edged it but it was a pretty even round to me. I think it could have been scored a draw. If the scoring system was better it probably should have been. Entertaining fight though. Robbie had the most dominating round of the fight.

Crosby scored a 10-8 second round for Hendricks and a 10-10 fifth round.

Round 1 was 10-9.5 Hendricks. It was super close.

Hendricks vs Lombard will be awesome. Both need to improve their stamina.

good main event.

whilst i agreed with the 48-47 scorecards, i also noticed hendricks didn't bitch one bit when a very close fight was awarded his way.

I wanted Lawler to use a Hendricks quote after the fight. Look at my face and look at his, who won the fight. LMFAO.

That would've been fucking awesome!

The Hendricks-Lawler fight reminded me a bit about Machida-Rua 1.

Yeah it was very close IMO, like 10-9.8. Not really enough of a difference that one person should be awarded the round over the other really IMO. I'd have to watch it again to see if I felt any different.
I think if you ignore round by round scoring and just score the fight as a whole it's probably a draw. Robbie had the biggest moments of the fight. I knew under the current system it would be scored just like it was. But that doesn't mean I really feel Johny "won" the fight.

Pretty close fight. I agreed with Joe and thought whoever won the 5th would get the belt. Tough loss for Lawler, but sometimes you gotta take a dive for the company

I agree, I was thinking Robbie won the first.

Rogan was glaringly bad last night in a few fights.  I don't know if he's lost it or he has a script he needs to follow, but I'm about finished with the guy.

Awesome title fight. Those motherfuckers fought in a phone booth for about 95% of those 25 minutes which is almost as surprising as Hunt/Bigfoot going the distance with Hendricks and Lawler both being premier one-punchers in the division. I agreed with the decision, but it was a close fight overall. First round is really the only round with any question to it, but even there I thought Hendricks was more varied in his attack, controlled the pace of the round, and initiated most of the action.
