Went with Hendricks vs. GSP. The winner of the FIGHT was robbed. Lyoto vs. Davis was up there, but there was just so little action, It's hard to judge.

this, exactly. and since it was a title match it has that extra scrutiny.

[epwar]

Yep, that is the correct answer.  Couldn't go with Lyoto/Davis as that wasn't a fight.

[BNosanchuk]

Davis/Machida is the only fight on that list that I remember watching with friends and we all scored it for Machida. 

 

You guys are right about GSP/Hendricks carrying more weight because of the title, more action, etc. I'm not trying to get into the scoring debate for that fight, but remember thinking it was a close fight and can see how one, could have scored it the way they did, so I don't feel that one is as much of a robbery.

I remember watching Bermudez/Holloway and posting on Tapology how Holloway won the fight, but the judges would give Bermudez the split decision and minutes later that's exactly how it went down.

 

I voted for Sanchez/Gomi, because it was the first one to come in mind, but Mr. Wonderful/Lyoto is the obvious choice in here despite the lack of action in it. It happening in Brazil makes it all the more awkward.

You predicted a split decision? If you know how rogue judges are going to vote, you should be channeling your skills to monetary ends.

Bermudez is going to win a split decision and Holloway's going to be robbed, you'll see.
