Fight write up:

This was an interesting match up on paper as Josh Koscheck was coming off a 2 fight losing streak the longest of his career against a heavy hitting Tyron Woodley. Tyron Woodley is a huge 170lb fighter and his punches really show with his knockout of Koscheck. From the get go you could see that Woodley was faster and more powerful than Koscheck. I was very impressed with Woodleys slip and counters in this fight as he did not really play the aggressor and he baited Koscheck a few times which ended with a very nice KO finish.

5th round summary:

Another very close round. Hendricks came out strong again but in my opinion was not able to do enough to win the round. GSP was desperate to get a takedown which he did. And for me was the deciding factor in the 5th round. Obviously Hendricks was able to do way more damage to GSP's face but that isn't the indicator on deciding fights. You have to dethrone the champ significantly and after looking back at this I have GSP slightly edging Hendricks 3 rounds to 2.
