Hendricks is being surprisingly humble. Said he thought he won the first 3 rounds, but acknowledged that he fell off in the 4th.

Also said that he got too caught up in the moment of trying to wrestle and get takedowns and didn't do enough besides that. Quote: "I just didn't fight"

Wow. That's surprising. Thanks for sharing. Any interesting notes from Dana about tonight?

Sadly, Dana wasn't there, one of his underlings was at the mic this time. So, the press conference was pretty boring.

Nope.

I'm a huge Punk fan but he's gonna get smashed in the UFC.

Dana White is ridiculous and a complete hypocrite, stuff like this is what pulls MMA back into the circus category...at least Lesnar had the background and credentials.

Won't sign Askren but will sign CM Punk....lol ok.

I think Dana has proven himself a hypocrite about 100 or so times by now.

Not that I blame him, he's there to make money for the company...and that's what he does.

Right but it's just annoying as hell lol...

Just for some context...

Punk is 36 yrs. old and will probably be 37 before he fights, has two bad knees, has had at least 10 concussions according to his best friend Colt Cabana, and the extent of his fighting experience is being a WHITE BELT in Gracie BJJ.

Yeesh, be interested to see what can they try to pair him up with for his debut.

When I heard the 3rd judge was 49-46 I thought Hendricks had it.

The ref thought it too...

I just can't see that score.

That and the stupid shit like cm ****ing punk getting signed is what turns me off about the UFC.

I dont see how any judge could give a 49-46 to either fighter. I thought Hendricks clearly won 2 and 3, and Lawler clearly won 4 and 5. It all came down to round 1 and I gave it to Lawler because he came out swinging and was landing some pretty good shots. After about 2 minutes it slowed way down and Hendricks got a takedown and attempted some others, but what did he do after that? Every takedown he had he ended up receiving more damage than he did when he was on his feet. I can't recall him ever throwing a punch or trying for a submission on a takedown.

Dana said this:

Quote:

“He’s not a guy that we would do what we did with Brock; we threw Brock right to the wolves,” White said. “Brock started fighting all the top heavyweights in the world because of his wrestling background.

“CM Punk, we would bring him in just like any regular fighter, and he would fight a guy with a similar record to his, which is 0-0.”

Bisping is the only one of those fights where I'd root for Punk
