Perhaps someone with a bit more insight into MMA can explain it to me. I don't have any set solution to scoring rounds, I just do it by watching it, surely these judges don't.

And is this mix up happening across the board in all MMA brands? Watching strikeforce, elite XC and all that other stuff, I haven't seen, in my opinion, such clear cut decisions go the other way.


Perhaps i'm asking because I don't want to believe Dana and co are coercing the judges into protecting big name fighters such as Machida and Hall of Famer Randy Couture.


Also, Rogan always talks about how the MMA judging system is flawed, he's never voiced how it should be bettered, whats your opinions on MMA judging? ]]> Timmy http://www.altnation.com/forums/sport-fitness/148218-ufc-mma-judging.html Pacman vs Cotto http://www.altnation.com/forums/sport-fitness/148195-pacman-vs-cotto.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:59:35 GMT Anyone see it?
