Re: ======== OFFICIAL UFC 139 ---------- Saturday, Nov. 19th - Shogun / Henderson ==
Good points, Winslow. There's been plenty of debate the past few days from people questioning whether or not the final round should indeed have been 10-8.
10-7's a tough one to go by ... as we've seen cases before wherein they should have been called, but weren't (by judges). A major example was UFC 125 - January 1st, 2011 - EDGAR / MAYNARD II. Gray was in complete control the first 5 minutes. Same thing for SHOGUN finishing very strongly against Dan on Saturday night (after falling behind for the first 15 minutes and proving his strength and resiliency in minutes 15 - 25).
I disagree with the scoring on this fight
if we were just going by rounds Henderson won 3-2
He won the first three rounds but since its going by points - I dont agree that every round was 10-9 across the board
The last round was a 10-7 round for Rua - Rua dominated the round thoroughly
and first round was 10-8 for Henderson
Then I might make the fourth round 10-8 for Rua - he controlled the round but Henderson escaped a few holds to gain some points
at best I would have called it a draw on points
One of the greatest fights ever in MMA - hmm so many great wars in MMA its hard to say but it was entertaining
