Henderson vs Edgar 2 Video

There were a lot of dour faces on the dais Saturday at the UFC 150 post-fight news conference in the bowels of the Pepsi Center, about an hour after Benson Henderson won a hotly disputed split decision over Frankie Edgar to retain his lightweight title in the show's main event.
For the second week in a row, the UFC put on an outstanding show. If last week's card in Los Angeles was an A-plus, Saturday's card would probably grade out as an A-minus, highlighted by Donald Cerrone's hellacious knockout of former teammate Melvin Guillard in the co-main event.
The somber moods were clearly the result of how the main event was judged. Though the Henderson-Edgar fight lived up to its billing as a quality match, few were happy with the split decision outcome.
UFC president Dana White refused to give his score, saying only that he had it 2-2 after four rounds. Most media scored the fight for Edgar. Fans on social media favored Edgar, though by a lesser margin than the media.
As Edgar dejectedly said when asked if he felt he won, "It doesn't matter at this point."
Judge Tony Weeks had it 49-46 for Edgar, giving the ex-champion the final four rounds. But Weeks' partners, Dave Hagen and Mark Van Tine, each had it 3-2, giving Henderson Rounds 1, 3 and 4. Yahoo! Sports had it 49-46, scoring it the same as Weeks.
Even though it was an excellent fight and both men acquitted themselves well, there was a general sense of unhappiness about the verdict. White didn't want to say how he scored the fifth round, and repeatedly said, "I'm not a judge." When Henderson lifted the belt from Edgar at UFC 144 in February, White was public about his belief that Edgar won.
