UFC 167 Marred By Controversial Decision In Main Event

UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre last night "won via split decision for the first time in front of a sold-out crowd" of 14,856 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. A large portion of the crowd "booed the decision," which gave Johny Hendricks the loss. UFC President Dana White said of the decision, "Nevada is a very scary place. This is the worst commission on the planet. I'm afraid to bring fights to Las Vegas" (ESPN.com, 11/16). White was "irate" as he reacted to the decision, even calling for Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval to "launch an investigation into the Nevada State Athletic Commission" (GLOBE & MAIL, 11/17).
