You can certainly tell that dude has been wanting the belt from deep in his heart.

I'm OK with either holding the belt after that fight.

Props to both. Lived up to the billing, and then some.

Yep.

I think it just comes down to the 2nd Round.

1st to Hendricks
2nd
3rd Lawler
4th Lawler
5th Hendricks

I don't think many would debate that. So, ultimately it's who you give that 2nd Round to, and IMO, its either Lawler because of the significant couple of strikes, or, just call it a draw and let's do it all over again.



Props to Johny, though.

Just don't act like the belt was stolen from RL & it was some highway robbery....not saying that you are saying this. You're ok with Johny winning, correct? Only slightly disagree....

Joe Rogan is great at his job. He broke down the contenders perfectly.

Agreed, and agreed.

Hendricks/Macdonald is the most deserving next WW Title Fight.

4th was debatable as well, but I am slightly inebriated

Equally guilty.

I just thought Lawler controlled the fight a little more, and caused a little more damage.

Either way, I can't wait to re-watch this fight a few solid meals, a couple of vegetables, and a couple of gallons of water, later.

2nd and 4th were close. That was a great fight. I thought Lawler was going to knock his arse out in the 3rd.

Did anyone catch Nick Diaz yelling, "Where you at Johny?"



Apparently, it actually happened.

I think the late takedown might've fricked Lawler's game up. Had Lawler continued at the end of the 4th, we wouldn't have seen Hendrick taking him down in the 5th, and Lawler would've probably punched him out as Hendrick would've tried to become overly aggressive to secure a victory.
