You only coast in the fifth round of a fight versus GSP if you've DOMINATED the first four rounds.
This. I'm a GSP fan who thought Hendricks deserved the win. That said, that was just dumb (and arrogant) not to go balls to the wall in the fifth. Right or wrong, in both boxing and mma, the champ usually wins the decision in a close fight. Hendricks had to have known this (his corner certainly wanted him to bring the fight and finish strong) and yet he just seemed to coast. Hard to feel that bad for him since he basically gave the fight away.

Hendricks won the fight. He won the first pretty easily with the takedown and the cut he opened up and the early sig strikes

why risk a KO? this is just illogical, emotional thinking
he had the fight won by any objective, rational measure. he would have only lost due to KO. why go "balls to the wall" and risk the KO?
