Benjamin Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah, but I really think the UFC's gonna' let GSP get that vacation. He's been hinting at it the whole week. I really think he'll get that vacation. The UFC has never strong-armed GSP and Jones like they did Silva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heartbreak Kid Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Don't get me wrong though, that was a close fight. I'd love to see a rematch someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I want a rematch as soon as we can, but if GSP is taking a deserved vacation that's understandable. I had it 49-48 GSP with 3 and 5 his pretty handily and 1 his on merit of the takedown and submission attempt. Hendricks had great rounds 2 and 4 but neither were 10-8 rounds. Also, I thought Hendricks tapped too in round 1, no idea what was going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 UFC 167 has killed Sherdog. It's still down. And I find it pretty funny that I'm leading Cuntface's prediction league and he's leading Pick 'Em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Apparently Dana is raging right now, bitching out Nevada over the decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 He was. Called Hendricks out as well when Johnny said "I only put 70% into my punches", Dana said "You should have put 100% into those punches". He's also pissed off at GSP for making that weird statement, and I was definitely wrong, he wants the rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobBe Nobbs Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Problem: Hendricks won, but won't get an immediate rematch. Solution: Hendricks vs. Lawler/Condit/Brown/whoever for the Interim Welterweight title. C'mon Dana. This isn't difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 It looks like a tap but it starts after GSP releases the attempt. 0_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah, he started tapping after GSP let go. Weird. Josh Thomson versus Ben Henderson is the main event for January's FOX show. Also, Luke Rockhold is fighting Costa Philippou at Fight Night 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizza Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I didn't see the fight, was that in Round 1? If so, why are people bitching about GSP getting Round 1, he was a half second away from winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 It was literally within the first 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieG Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Seeing as Cormier was tweeting someone about it, figured I'd send him that gif. His reply: https://twitter.com/dc_mma/status/402094827145162752 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah as weird as it looks it seems very possible he was just moving his hand to a better position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 THE INTERNETS!1112111! reaction to this whole thing is hilarious. I think it was a fair and close decision. As far as I am concerned, to be the champion you have to beat the champion, and Hendricks did not beat him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 A lot of people take what a comedian-turned-color-commentator says as gospel. He made it sound like going into the 5th GSP's only hope was a tko or sub. I really like Rogan but sometimes he gets too excited and steers fans the wrong way. I do think if they weren't scoring it by the round and instead just one score for the whole fight Hendricks would have won, but as has been said enough GSP clearly won 2 and did more in the 1st than Hendricks. Also, I'm glad we got crazy Dana White last night, I've missed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude knob slobs on whatever guy he's pulling for. See the Rory fight for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
