10 point must system in MMA



So everyone is calling the Condit vs Lawler fight a robbery.  To preface is this.  I was pretty drunk by the main event.  Should have started with beer rather than hitting up the whiskey first.  Doesn’t matter it was a close fight.  Everyone says it came down to round 3.  It came to one round and the debate is power over abundance.  I don’t even consider this fight to be the litmus  test for robberies. I still think Hendricks vs GSP is one of the bigger title fight robberies.  There are tons of other robberies that happen this year.  Like Beneil Dariush vs Michael Johnson there are tons of other bad judging calls.  I’ve been thinking about them and I’m not upset about these calls. I’m kind of even happen about them. Let me explain first before you go off on a tirade.  I think every one of these fighters needs to think about how the judges might fuck this up when they are recovering in their corners. I think their corners need to error on the side of caution or reinforce that the judges could see it a different way.  We all want the submission or the knockout but I understand it doesn’t come that easy.  I really want to see the fighters coming out and trying to win the fight.  If you anyone saw the first fight on Fight Pass and saw how Joe Soto came out there to try and win that fight in the last round.  I want to see fighters doing that all of the time.  He

What the real discussion is how you judge a jab or kick.  Or even a jab to a takedown.   I don’t know who these judges are but they could be of the thought that if you are on top you are winning school.  However, I for one, value damage more.  If you rock or cut your opponent, I’m going to score that higher than a takedown.  If you are on top you have to be trying to pass or trying to throw strikes that hurt your opponent.  I’m not counting those ticky tack body shots in full guard while your opponent is controlling your head.  The tricky part is judging submission attempts.   Guillotines and triangles are tough to judge because you don’t know how tight those choke are, also on top of that you are usually on the bottom when you get them locked in.   It’s easier for arm locks because you knew arms aren’t supposed to be bend a certain way and the position of their arm is very telling.  How do you score takedown that a guys on the bottom lands 10 elbows from the bottom and gets back to his fight within 10 seconds.  Do you give it to the guy throwing the elbows or the guy who took him down.  My solution is fire the crazy judges who don’t know what they are doing and remind fighters not to leave their fates in the hands of others.
