Controversy, if anything, beckons scrutiny. Enter this week’s video collaboration as Dallas, Zane Simon and Connor Ruebusch re-watch the UFC 181 welterweight championship bout between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler to assess the accuracy of the decision.
Did Hendricks give away Round 4 with his curious absence of offense and activity late in the stanza, or had he built enough of an advantage earlier to out-weigh the lull? Is there any conceivable reinforcement for official judge Glenn Trowbridge scoring Round 2 for Lawler? Overall, was there a clear-cut winner or was this more of a toss-up? We give our best attempt to answer those questions.
