1-2-4 Hendricks.
I suggest everyone rewatch that 1st round, because I think GSP won it, although its pretty close, and it could've been scored a draw. GSP controlled the center of the octagon and controlled Hendricks in the stand up . It was the only round where GSP used his jab effectively enough to keep Hendricks at bay. Hendricks had the takedown, the elbows, and the knees to the thighs, but GSP was pretty even with him against the cage, had some good knees to the midsection, had a takedown of his own, and a guillotine attempt. I think the jab was the difference in the first and after watching it a few more times, I give it to GSP. I guess if the refs were listening to Joe Rogan glow about Big Rig's elbows and punches while GSP had his leg then they might have been swayed, but GSP did enough to win the 1st. Upon further review, it doesn't seem like the robbery people are making it out to be, unless you want to argue the 3rd and/or 5th.

That's exactly how I saw it, how the numbers saw it, and how 2 judges saw it...
The first round comes down to how important are leg kicks, especially in the beginning of a fight, when they don't appear to have any effect on the opposing fighter...?
If you kick like Aldo, and make your opponent limp all over the Octagon, then of course we can clearly see that leg kicks are an effective weapon, but when your opponent continues to come forward with no signs of slowly down, how many points should you actually get for your leg kicks, if any at all...?

2nd minute winner – debatable. Hendricks did well to throw some defensive shots, but gsp was obviously the aggressor and rogans sex moans aside, it’s a debate who won that minute. GSP definitely was the aggressor, and had Hendricks on one leg for most of the round. Hendricks threw some defensive shots with very little visible effect.

End of the round
5th minute winner – close and debatable but gsps high kick again probably edged it for him,
5.00
So who won the first round.
Id probably give it to gsp.
That said I can see the counter argument.
The short elbows from Hendricks and his takedown look good in retrospect, but defence isn’t awarded and gsp didn’t really show any signs of being staggered. The takedown didn’t lead to anything. Hendricks knees to the legs were good but were matched blow for blow with knees to the side. The tit for tat in the clinch was almost metronomical.
As for the offence of gsp – he scored a very good takedown countering Hendricks wild hook, which led to two guilotene attempts. He hit Hendricks with 2 high kicks, admittedly not phasing the texan. His second real takedown attempt had Hendricks on one leg, which led to the defensive elbows, and he seemed to lead in the aggression stakes.
This really was a tit for tat round in a lot of ways. Gsp seemed to be the better stiker slightly, with more blows and more purchase. Take downs were 1-1 but gsps lead to a sub attempt.
Minute by minute gsp seemed to edge it.
Im cleaning rogans fluids out of my ears, so there you go.

Nobody Lives Forever
rogan should probably shut his trasp if he doesnt want to find himself in hot soup. Didnt listen to the podcast but am sure something was loss in translation, hell for all we know gsp could've been trolling. As for the memory loss during the fight, well tbf i am shocked that fighters can describe their fights rd by rd with such clarity at all.If i was in the moment and not in control of a fight i would have memory loss too..It was probably his way of evading having to embarass himself by selling he won the rounds he lost
ps And i am surprised so much is being made about the amount of hits hes received in his last 3 fights.The fukk? do you want to be a fukking fighter?
Gsp wants to get back to
