Another VERY interesting decision by the judges here.

For fun, I posted the screen-cap of the end of the fight below - GSP was seconds away from being dead at the end there. But anyway, enoguh about me, let's talk about you. Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while. Decisions aside, this was a fight of 2 masters for sure. Both did damage, took damage, had good stamina magagement, and came to fight. A very good and fitting showing for both men in their 100th ManMMA fights. Congrats GSP and Anderson.

Another VERY interesting decision by the judges here. GSP might have won on rounds, but I just don't see how if you look at the whole fight, in the context of who did more to get a finish, you can award the fight that way. For fun, I posted the screen-cap of the end of the fight below - GSP was seconds away from being dead at the end there. But anyway, enoguh about me, let's talk about you. Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while. Decisions aside, this was a fight of 2 masters for sure. Both did damage, took damage, had good stamina magagement, and came to fight. A very good and fitting showing for both men in their 100th ManMMA fights. Congrats GSP and Anderson.
