That was a pretty close fight in my opinion, right decision.

Winner: Ben Henderson via split decision (48-47, 48-47, 46-49). So Frankie has 143 points and Benson 142 points but Frankie loses?

I agree with the boos. That decision is BS.

We just have to agree to disagree, F34R. I thought Frankie clearly had the edge in 2, 3 and 5 and a slim margin in the 4th.

[kevint13]

I thought Frankie won the fight, but it was still very close. This fight was definitely closer than the first one between them.

And Nate Diaz gets the next shot....him and Henderson should be a good one!

WTF........How can you win by one point BUT loose the fight? Time to find judges who know what they are doing.
