Heh, yeah Hendricks are Serra are on completely different levels.
GSP was also a lot worse back then - which is bad news for Hendricks if he shows up and shows up motivated.
Yeah, a motivated and angry GSP is a dangerous opponent. Hendricks was able to keep pace with GSP this fight, but GSP wasn't really his normally active self. Maybe it was that Hendricks neutralized GSP's wrestling, or maybe it was all the personal stuff that affected GSP's training. GSP was able to take Hendricks down at the start of the fight easily. If he returns motivated, I think we'll see a different GSP in there against Hendricks, pushing Hendricks and really testing his cardio.
Meh, Hendricks literally gets choked like that every day. I don't think he'd insta tap to a choke like that applied in that position. That said, it wasn't a push off either and the gif makes it hard to see what happened.
Hendricks is into erotic asphyxiation?
Yeah, it wasn't a push, and it doesn't seem to have the urgency you'd expect in a tap out.
I hope he comes back soon and takes the rematch. It was a dumb move on his part and I can understand why it'd be on his mind, though. Man, you're GSP! Pull out! You've got the reflexes!
Yeah, but he said he would just be out a year. That really isn't that long. I think people are making a bigger deal out of it than they need to. He was out a year and a half last time due to injury. A year off is not that big of a deal. In fact, this is actually the type of situation that an interim belt was made for. Dana just messed it all up by throwing out interim belts every time some champion stubbed their toe. It became pointless. Set up a WW tournament for the interim belt. Give GSP a year off to get himself together. If he comes back in a year, have a unification fight. If he doesn't come back, the interim champion be causes the true champion by default.
if anyone complains about that, have Woodly punch them in the face!
Dude, that guy looks scary. He isn't always consistent, but the guy is built like a freaking comic book superhero. He looks huge for 170. If that guy gets his stuff together, he is going to be one scary dude at 170.
Meh, you can have it reversed, too. Maybe the thought of how much money he's gonna have to give to this broad he very obviously doesn't think too much of will motivate him to fight soon and more often.
Maybe, but the more money he makes, the more he has to pay her, right? I saw some article that says he makes about $12,000,000 opera year. I'm sure he has enough stashed away to live comfortably for the rest of his life if he chooses to retire permanently.
So I've been looking over some of these MMA blogs and a lot of people are complaining that Hendricks was robbed of the title by a bad decision. Even Hendricks is complaining about it, which is pretty funny considering that Hendricks has benefitted from bad decisions, like the fight against Koscheck, and the fight against Condit.
