I dont see how any judge could give a 49-46 to either fighter. I thought Hendricks clearly won 2 and 3, and Lawler clearly won 4 and 5. It all came down to round 1 and I gave it to Lawler because he came out swinging and was landing some pretty good shots. After about 2 minutes it slowed way down and Hendricks got a takedown and attempted some others, but what did he do after that? Every takedown he had he ended up receiving more damage than he did when he was on his feet. I can't recall him ever throwing a punch or trying for a submission on a takedown.
