If there is ever a robbery that I can endorse, this is the one. Johny Hendricks can eat a bag of dikks. Hugging dude against the cage with your head under your opponents balls shouldn't be rewarded. Stop fukking coasting.
But man this was a great fukkin night. Pettis, Browne, Duffee and Ferguson really brought it. If only my girl Ashlee didn't have to lose in the last 10 seconds after dominating the fight...
Great post right here. I've actually been a Hendrix fan since 2008 when he fought Richard Gamble in the Xtreme Fighting League. I was saying he was the truth since day 1, but last night it was really disappointing to be a fan. I thought he won rounds 2, 3, and 4, but he didn't look great with his wall and stall strategy. So on paper, yeah I think it was a robbery, and I also think this is the first fight in UFC history where a challenger to a title holder has won the strap on a split decision.
It's a good story for Lawler. Amazing comeback story. I kinda want to see Rory get a shot, but I have a feeling we'll get a rubber match with Hendricks and Lawler. I'm not really looking forward to that, but I would like to see my boy Hendricks get a chance to redeem himself.
BTW how is Tony Ferguson not ranked in the top 10 yet? He's got an exciting style, he's on a 4 fight win streak, and he's finished 3 of those 4 fights. He's long and lean, good striking, great darce and marce chokes, good leg locks and submissions in general, he's willing to take the fight anywhere. I hope he does well and I've become a fan.
Oh yeah Pettis is a savage. Dude's out here submitting great jiu jitsu guys off his back. Good guy for the sport too. I like Melendez, but I have a feeling he won't be getting another shot anytime soon.
Despite the eye poke that Faber finish was nasty. One of the better cards in a long time.
