GSP didn't let Hendo do anything in this fight. That's pretty much the whole story of this one. I think Hendo would work out a bit better if his team tweaked his power striking or his takedowns some. Right now, he clinches a bit more than his skills should have him comfortable with. Not much, just a bit.

GSP didn't let Hendo do anything in this fight. That's pretty much the whole story of this one. I think Hendo would work out a bit better if his team tweaked his power striking or his takedowns some. Right now, he clinches a bit more than his skills should have him comfortable with. Not much, just a bit.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
