This was the first guy he couldnt bully with his wrestling not to mention Hendricks dirty boxing was crucial on the feet.
Not to mention your making it sound like Hendricks was too big and smashed him when its just not true. Like I said it was a 50/50 fight. The whole MMA community is split on who won. It was that close.
Silva doesnt care if hes taken down which is why his wrestling is awful. A weight drained Travis freakin Lutter took him down with the most laziest slowest robotic takedowns with ease until he got caught in a triangle and vicoously elbowed. If you search MMA forums over the last 5 years when they have BEGGED for this fight the predictions have been 50/50 or 60/40 at best in favor Silva. GSPs wrestling and ground game is a nightmare for Silva. Silva with one good leg doesnt stand a chance even against a faded GSP.
You know ive been a GSP hater for a long, long time but hes won me over as a fan recently coming back from a horrible torn knee ligament himself and fought to hell in back with Condit, Diaz, and Hendricks in WARS. Yet its funny he finally gives us epic fights and now people want to act like hes garbage now.
