It is painfully obvious that you know nothing about the sport, legislature or the business side of things.

Explain? I probably know/have read more about boxing, and UFC isn't so different under the surface. You're sounding like a UFC fanboy that thinks the sport/franchise is above corruption.

Anyone comparing this decision to Jones v Gus is beyond retarded.

Although Jones/Gustafsson was a closer fight, both fights reeked of poor judging. However, both challengers made the (mental) mistake of fading in the fifth round, whether intentional (Hendricks) or not (Gustafsson).

Immediately after Jones/Gustafsson I thought, ok wow, Jones met his match and lost fairly convincingly, although I thought he would win a rematch with a grappling-centric change of gameplan. After Hendricks I thought, oh my... GSP has got nothing for Hendricks, now or ever.

Despite all of this, both matches were close enough such that neither one was a robbery, but both were surprises that had me saying, "Who the f*ck are these judges?"

Well known amongst the UFC Fighters and their related circles you will NOT win a belt off of scorecards.

Velasquez vs. Dos Santos 2, Henderson vs. Edgar, Edgar vs. Penn, I am sure there are more... all I can remember right now.

Edgar's fights were even closer than Gus/Jones or GSP/Hendricks.

Definitely hard to take a belt by decision, but has happened several times.
