Right, and that's more typical I think of a mob mentality. When people watch it together with alcohol involved that kind of thinking takes over where boring ass's like me that watch it at home sober with my wife see it a little different.
I think it was you that raised the point though. Almost all of the 50/50 first rounds end up going to the champ. |

Having said that, he will NEVER stop putting shows in Vegas so he needs to stop bitching and start working with the comission to fix it. |

Dana was ass hurt about GSP talking about taking time off more than anything. I think if GSP has said he wanted a rematch Dana would have let it all drop. |

However, that AC will never work well with anyone due to Kizer. |

I went back and listened to a Dana White interview after the fight and I think he was saying that the judges should put more weight on damage inflicted and not just out striking or winning by rounds (at least that is the way I took it). He clearly thought Hendricks won by the amount of damage that was inflicted on GSP and the lack of damage on JH. If the scoring system is based upon the 10 pt round scoring system, I'm not sure how to get around this unless you automatically score the round 10-8 whenever someone inflicts more damage.

The 10-9 isn't horrible but it is flawed (and I have no idea how you truly fix it or create a perfect scoring system). If judges were more keen to give out 10-8 and 10-7 rounds, it's possible the system could be rectified. However, you then open a whole new can of worms, in that the majority of fights are only 3 rounds. If an opponent gets a 10-8, you're going to have to finish or score your own 10-8 to secure a victory. Then you factor in that the majority of these judges are coming from boxing and don't understand how kicks or the ground game should be scored. Even when you get guys who have adequate credentials (e.g. Almeida) and understand the sport, you can still be left with undesirable results due to human error (being forced to watch cageside/tiny monitors) and bias. |

What's wrong with the scoring they used in Pride fights over seas?
