Yeah, that was really dumb IMO. I think he thought he would get a crucifix and pound him out, and a lot of guys are more comfortable in side than mount, especially short legged kickboxers who probably can't take the back if it is offered. Still, he should have just brought hell from mount. Johnson wasn't going anywhere.

They list Barry as 5'11"- but I seriously doubt that is accurate. He looks a few inches shorter than that to me.2012: +19.33

The guy beats Fitch and Koscheck, the perennial #2 and #3 guys, He is 8-1 in the UFC, he has finished a bunch of guys as well... Condit himself is only 5-1 in the UFC, and IMO Hendricks has beaten better comp in the UFC. What does a guy have to do around here to get some respect?2012: +19.33

I gave teh fight to Kosheck too, rounds 1 and 3. Hendricks won the "fight" if it was scored as a whole, but I would have given rounds 1 and 3 to Koscheck, even if he did poke Hendricks in the eye in order to get round 1. BUt he definitely beat Pierce IMO.
But really, the UFC pretty much always accepts the decision unless it is a total robbery, which this was not. So the fact remains, he won those fights. It effects betting, but not title shots. That said, I think Hendricks could have been given the title shot after KOing Fitch.2012: +19.33
