I don't know how to embed the report, but mods can do it.

Here's the gist:
Based on a 10 point must system, it should have been a draw (10-10 round four).

According to Fightmetric, the winner should have been Edgar, who had a higher effectiveness score.

Both fighters scored about a 40/100 total performance rating according to Fightmetric.

It really seemed like a lot of Bendo's shots were grazing and Frankie was countering well and landing the more solid shots. I watched the fight again and I still dont see that effective of striking by Bendo in rounds 3 4 and 5.

And if it was scored a draw, who has the belt as a result? The current champ! So the protests shouldn't be so extreme.

well this just adds to my anger at the ufc's statistian from last night i assume the judges dont see those tainted figures during the fight unless they put it up on a big screen or something. i dont see it as a draw it was clearly frankie's fight those idiots probbly dont realize he was defending the first guillitine with this right arms pressing on bendos then there frankie footwork that people seem to misconstrue, he didnt jsut use the footwork defensively he came at henderson way more agressive always throwing combos landing to the body and head

i respectfully disagree with people saying since it most likely should have been a draw its okay that it went to the champ, i dont understand the logic and if i did buy it why didt frankie get the first fight nod then, i mean if it a draw rule it a draw coinflip does not got to the champ after getting beat right, i wasnt even that big of a fan of frankie until he starting getting screwed now hes the best 155er the only 155er on par with bj, henderson needs to stop the growing chinanigans with the foot wiping first fight and knee/hand dropping last night, just fight. even the low legs kicks they didnt slow frankie down it wasnt a big deal wow big deal his calf was red, so what

That is one weak stance.

Started getting screwed??? He loses two close decisions and all of a sudden he's been getting screwed?

Was he getting screwed when he leap frogged Gray for a title shot despite the fact that Gray was not only undefeated but had a win over Frankie.

Or how about when he won the belt on a close decision that many, myself included thought should have went to BJ?

Was he screwed when Gray mauled him in the second fight but the ref didnt stop the it? Or was it when a fight that many, again myself included, thought Gray won was declared a draw?

Frankie has not been getting "screwed" he had two close fights go against him. He's been on the other side of that enough that I can't feel sorry for him.

I can understand disagreeing with the decision but it was in no way a robbery or a screw job. It was a close fight that two people thought went to Bendo.

You have valid points in the rest of your post but the above is questionable to me. Yes Gray had him wobbly in the first round but there was no point it should have been stopped. Did "many" people really feel Gray won that fight conclusively? cause I didn't see alot of claims of that being the case.

He's a good poster, it's just Gray is his favorite fighter.

I like Gray too man, but Frankie should have gotten that decision. Frankie shouldn't have leap frogged Gray, but that is not Frankie's fault. He just accepted the shot he was given. I felt like Frankie-Gray 2 was difficult to score, and I hated it being a draw. I even hated Frankie for awhile, but it's impossible to keep hating a guy that has that kinda heart. I hate to say it, but I might like Frankie more than Gray at this point. That is not an insult to Gray, but damn it Frankie is a fucking warrior.

I felt like Edgar won, it was close but outside of the 1st round Bendo didn't really have much offense.
