I disagree with the decision, but this was not a robbery.

GSP won the 3rd and 5th rounds, so it was close. The 1st round depends on how you judge these things, I thought Hendricks had more effective strikes in the 1st round (GSP's face wasn't F'd up yet) so I would have given the fight to him 48-47, but if you look at the first round as just a rules-based point-scoring contest, GSP may have out-pointed him in some eyes. Also, if the first round is close and no one is hurt, the defending champ is often going to get the first round.

Dana White is hilariously entertaining to watch, but he went overboard on this. If you gave round one to GSP, you can't go back later with an eraser and switch it because GSP's face was messed up after the fight.

Next time, Johny shouldn't hold back. Finish him and don't let it get to a decision.
