5 Outrageous UFC split decisions

#4 Georges St-Pierre vs. Johny Hendricks

Several fans and experts believe that Johny Hendricks deserved to be awarded the decision win against GSP

Georges St-Pierre defended his UFC Welterweight Title against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. At that point in time, Hendricks was one of the most feared KO artists in all of Mixed Martial Arts and regarded by many as the dark horse of the UFC Welterweight division.

The 5-round fight between GSP and Hendricks turned out to be one of St-Pierre's toughest fights to date, as the latter landed several hard strikes -- marking up GSP's face, and rocking the latter on multiple occasions throughout the bout. However, St-Pierre had his moments too, particularly with his usage of the jab.

Nevertheless, as a whole, the fight seemed to be like a clear decision victory for Hendricks. In fact, the man and his team had already begun celebrating before the judges' decision was read out. Well, despite having comfortably out-struck as well as dazed GSP in their fight, Hendricks found himself on the wrong end of the judges' scorecards.

St-Pierre was declared the winner by way of Split Decision, and subsequently went on a 4-year hiatus from the sport of MMA.
