...and Lawler knocked him around for the first couple of minutes.

I'm not claiming robbery or anything but they made the TD out on the commentary to be the biggest thing ever. They were both pushing Hendricks hard throughout the fight so it's not surprising.

Can't believe Rogan thinks Rory deserves the next title shot AND they had a video package of him ready to go...yeah seems legit LOL.

Hendricks was winning that fight if it was close all the way. It's in Dallas and they've been hyping the shit out of him.

Rematch or Woodley...

Agreed...the commentary was borderline embarrassing.

UFC announcing isn't much different than WWE announcing,hype the guys the company pushes no matter what,sell some storylines.

What the hell happened to Lawler anyways? He was pretty much a washed up name a few years ago.

Got humbled, actually started to give a shit, worked on his all around game, and grinded back to Strikeforce and eventually the UFC.

You don't give a rematch there and Woodley hasn't done shit. You don't go from outside the top 10 to A title shot because a guy you fought tore an ACL

....and MacDonald beat Maia so.....

I'd give Stun Gun a shot before him.

Pretty much...thought it was hilarious that a Rory MacDonald highlight package was ready to go when Rogan "spontaneously" gave his answer.

I'm sure they had Condit penciled in before the injury.

Yeah, Kim is the only one aside from MacDonald that might make any sense.

Jerm	03-15-2014 11:08 PM

How does MacDonald make sense?

Guess I'm missing something...

by default. It's not like he's an obvious choice, but I don't really see anyone else other than Kim. I don't think Lawler gets a rematch, he'll probably need to beat someone else.

bizarre twist to the scoring: one of the judges had round 2 10-8 for Hendricks, and had the 5th round 10-10. Well, it still added up to the correct answer, I guess.
