Hendrix was doing all the pressuring and taking down. Not to mention droppin bombs left and right. I love that dude. Hope he gets a title shot, but no way GSP stands up with him. He'll just take him down time after time and win by decision.

Gsp is so boring Diaz did a decent job he just wasn't agrressive enough.I think Diaz vs Anderson Silva would've been a lot more entertaining.Silva would've stood up more.

As GSP has gotten older, he's gotten smarter. Makes for much more boring fights. Why is he gonna risk boxing with a striker when he can just take him down. I wanna see him fight someone with an excellent ground game, but who? He already beat up Maia didn't he?

he did fight koscheck, but they were barely on the ground, gsp just jabbed his way to a victory.

I doubt GSP gets his way with take downs vs. Hendricks. Though if he does, man, if Hendricks is awful on the ground on top, it's scary to see how vulnerable he might be on his back.

And almost took out Koscheck's right eye. He'll probably do the same to Hendricks.

Pretty even. The take downs were the difference.
Yeah but Hendricks didn't do s**t when he had him on the ground, Condit was doing all the damage on the ground
Takedowns and power shots were the difference maker.

GSP = Get.....Some....Points
That fight was exactly the way I thought it would be, two-strike combo's and take downs all day. Its not sexy but it gets the job done.

I could see Hendricks doing the same thing to GSP. Getting a couple of those insanely quick lefts or uppercuts in and shooting. Needs to work on some ground and pound though. Could have easily won the fight if he could land some strikes on the ground. Hendricks is a fantastic wrestler so I think he could hold his own in that regard but again he needs to do something while he's on top.

Great PPV card this past weekend.
Hendricks vs. Condit really stole the show. What a great fight and if there were two more rounds, Condit woulda taken it. Hendricks really gassed out. Either guy coulda won that fight, but I can see those huge takedowns and power shots as the main reason. Condit is a beast though.
GSP/Diaz was meh. I figured GSP would just keep him grounded. It's kinda crazy how much damage the small amount of boxing from Diaz did to GSP's face. And LOL about them being friends and s**t after the fight. All that hyped s**t before it to get the PPV buys and they all hug it out at the end. Diaz is a cool ass dude in real life.
With that being said, I'm almost confident that Hendricks will be the next welterweight champ

I've met his bro in real life. he's completely the opposite of how he's portrayed on TV.
