    What the hell? How do you not score that fight for Cerrone? He clearly won 1,4, and 5.

    My stream cut out on the main event which is pathetic because Versus is a free channel. Anyway from the round by round it seems impossible to me Henderson could have one. Im waiting for a video.

    I didn't score the fight, but I felt Ben took the first three rounds. I could see the fight being scored either way. It was a tough fight on both ends.

    Henderson definitely won the 2nd and 3rd rounds. No question about that.

    ROBBERY!

    **** the judges! I guess I should cut all my Jiu Jitsu/Muay Thai/Boxing training out and just focus on wrestling! Cause, that's all the **** you need to win, apparetly! Just takedown and moderate control!

    BULL****! Cerrone won that fight.

    Cerrone definitely had the better chances to end the fight, but it was close, so I could see the decision going either way. Decision aside, that was one awesome back-and-forth fight. I love to see two guys with seemingly endless gas tanks just go all out for 25 minutes.

    Relax, Cerrone was clapping his hands after the decision was announced. Since he wasn't upset you shouldn't be either.

    Because he knows that he let it go to the hands of the judges. I highly doubt he personally believes he lost that fight.

    MMA in America leans more toward wrestling in there judging then they should. I would have thought they would have passed that philosophy by , by now.

    I always think a guy who wants to take the fight to the ground and actually does should earn points but IMO its all mute when the bottom guy is throwing up submissions over and over and nearly finishing the fight.
