Johny Hendricks squeeks out a win over Robbie Lawler

Video highlights

So Hendricks and Lawler went at it for GSP's vacant title. I thought Hendricks was going to win this one easily, but instead I was surprised how well Lawler performed. It looked like he could have wont that fight, but unfortunately get gassed at the end. That 5th round was sloppy as hell from both fighters. Hendricks won it by laying on Lawler, and Lawler just had nothing left in the gas tank to get Hendricks off.

One thing is for sure. Hendricks is no GSP, and he isn't going to be. Hendricks looks like he has a lot of trouble when guys take the fight to him. I'd be amazed if he defends the belt more than two times. Hell, I'm betting his next fight is going to be against Tyson Woodley, who has a good chance of knocking Hendricks's head clean off with a massive punch. Woodley did amazing against Condit in the first round. He started to fade a bit in the second, but he hurt Condit with a double leg takedown. It's unfortunate for Condit, but I'm actually excited to see a Hendricks VS Woodley fight.

By the way, Woodley's hands look massive. The guy looks like he is packing sledge hammers in them.
