Plum Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 True. It looks like he's starting to degrade. Condit fight, then Diaz, and now.. Maybe he'll take a break and get away from it all then come back stronger than ever. He's going to lose next time unless something about him changes for the better. Yeah. I want to see Silva vs Pierre before they both get old and become pretty bad, still probably the top wrestlers in their divisions in my opinion when they are fighting their best.

Tortorella's Rant Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 yea that definitely looks like a tap out but it seems GSP lets him go just as he taps out. Most definitely is. No other reason to be doing that in that position. Of course as you said George lets up at the same time. Fight should have ended there I guess? Literally another second and it would have been over. If his corner saw that, can they delay the fight and review it or something? Because he could have lost the title tonight when Hendricks had given up in the first.

Captain Aerosex Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Not a tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 That has to be. What else is he doing there with his hand? Seriously looks like a tapping motion.. and if Mario was on the other side I'm sure he could have called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 What got me in the post fight presser was that Hendricks said he didn't want to knock him out. Not right, you want the belt, you finish the champ, you never leave it up to the judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not right, you want the belt, you finish the champ, you never leave it up to the judges. Makes me believe that Hendricks and GSP decided they wouldn't KO each other before the fight and GSP let go on hendricks so he wouldn't KO him in the first round.

Grapefruits Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Saw that coming. You have to be really convincing to score a decision over the champ. I had that 3 rounds to 2 for Hendricks in all honesty but I can understand a 3-2 GSP call too. Exactly! You want to take the belt, you finish the fight, not let it go to decision.

Everyone in the bar I was at thought he tapped, it sure looked like it. I really want to see a replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the previous page at the bottom. It's a definite tap except George let go for whatever reason. It didn't look like he had it locked super tight but when you're already breathing hard, any constriction can be enough to end ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think it can possibly be a tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannik freaking hansen Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/11/17/5113402/ufc-167-results-george-st-pierre-vs-johny-hendricks-scorecard-judges Picture of the official scorecard. So I was slightly wrong. All 3 judges had round 2 and 4 going to Hendricks and round 3 and 5 to GSP. Turns out round 1 was the difference maker. GSP won round 1 with 2 of the judges and Hendricks won round 1 on 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, to me it looked like Hendricks hit his hand on his thigh on his way up to tap. He did tap as far as I can see, but GSP released it awfully quick after Hendricks hit his thigh before the tap happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
