first time I think ive ever watched a fight and was glad it was a draw. its was sort of appropriate for such an epic fight.

and yeah Shogun gave Te Huna the rashad evans neck

christmas comes early for johny hendricks. GSP just vacated the title

so I dont see anyone beating him to claim it.. whos the other contender? you think robbie lawler has done enough or needs one more fight?

my guess is since matt brown is out of the condit fight you will see a hendricks condit rematch to fill the empty slot...lets see

I'm so glad for johny, he deserves to hold the title

It was Hendricks belt anyway. I wouldn't want to get back in the octagon again after taking that kind of beating either.

Cant blame GSP though... kind of a smart thing to do if you've made a lot of money and it's best to preserve your body now

It's not Hendricks' title. He and Lawler fight in March for it:

Quote:

Citing undisclosed personal issues, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre announced Friday afternoon that he will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the sport of mixed martial arts and vacating his title, effective immediately.

The news comes less than a month after St-Pierre’s grueling split decision win over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in Las Vegas. The win marked GSP’s ninth successful title defense.

On the media teleconference with St-Pierre, UFC President Dana White announced that Hendricks and Robbie Lawler will fight for the vacant 170-pound title on March 15, 2014, in Dallas, Texas.

Stay tuned for more details, including comments from St-Pierre and White.

And after you know you stole the title and don't deserve it.

Better to go out on top and healthy than getting KO'd and brain damage. Glad Hendricks gets another shot at the title that he should have won against GSP.

Can't wait for UFC 168. It will be the first UFC that I will be seeing live. I think all the money I spent on those tickets will be worth it as long as Silva wins. Don't care how he does it, just needs to get the title back. :excited:

I hope Rhonda loses. Her attitude sucks. I like an aggressive woman but damn she's a super bitch.

Same. I respect her skills as an athlete for sure, but after watching the last season of TUF I'm definitely rooting for Tate.

They're pretty fun live. Even the prelims when no one is there, they can be pretty exciting and you get to hear more without a noisy crowd. :tup:

After watching the Patriots dominate yesterday, I would love to see Silva dominate Weidman on Saturday. Would make this epic week so much better.
