I thought Hendricks was a lot more aggressive but technically it was pretty sloppy. Kos looked to hesitant and obviously didn't want to mix it up too much. For two top notch wrestlers neither really looked for the takedown very much. I don't think Hendricks is even close to ready for GSP and Kos needs to seriously do some work on incorporating his wrestling better with his striking. He used to be too much of a wrestler and now he just looks too much for knockout.
I hear what ya saying, as a spectacle it wasnt much, what impressed me was Hendricks got the victory. Josh just didnt do enough for me to take it. This is a classic match of two top notch wrestler's against each other. Very little takedown attempts. Obviously both appreciate each others skills and dont want to risk that part of the fight, so both relied on their stand-up, which Hendricks had the better of.
Who would you match Hendricks up against now then, Is it too early for Rory Macdonald to go in against him? That would be a good match up of two up and coming fighters.
