Agony... The exact moment the world reacts to the UFC’s most controversial points result of 2013.

But our cover star wasn’t the only surprised party. The since-much-debated split judges’ verdict cued the expressions you see from this perfectly timed snapshot. Joy for St Pierre head coach Firas Zahabi, disbelief from Hendricks’ trainers Marc Laimon and Steven Wright, confusion on the part of UFC president Dana White. It’s a funny old game.
