Hendricks vs GSP full fight...

Hmmmm can't say I agree with the decision but Hendricks has no one to blame but himself. A good part of the fight was primarily a wrestling match and Hendricks made some very poor tactical decisions during the fight...he was landing lots of knees and elbows early and completely got away from that after the 3rd round. He also went from throwing combinations to just pot shoting and pawing with his right jab which was landing early. His biggest mistake was letting GSP up for no reason in the 4th when he was landing awesome ground and pound.
To GSP's credit he has the heart of a champion, was out gunned here but kept on attacking, jab was spot on a few take downs that Hendricks instantly countered. He tried some submissions throughout the fight kamuras and guillotines but at no point did he have Hendricks in trouble.
Reminded me of the Gustafson vs Jones fight...I think the judges gave the Champ a little more credit than the challenger.
GSP is clearly on the decline, his last fight against an inferior athlete Conduit, he was busted up badly and again last Sat, he looked the like the victim.
Hendricks needs to improve on his striking and combinations and he will dominate.
