Thiago Tavares won fight versus Griffin

the ufc should really try to make a more rigid scoring system. the 10-point must is a striking only system as rogan pointed out. a won round is a 10-9, a round with a kd is a 10-8 so on and so forth. this just does not cut it for mma. i have no idea what system they should come up with. i'll think it over the next few days but i know for a fact that the 10 point must system does not fit mma

 

True. Plus, i dunno about now but couple years ago they were hiring boxing judges left and right so um... I wonder which way they would be biased :roll:/

 

Griffin won this fight but he definitely lost to Guida....

 

Well, with Dana White taking shots at boxing every chance he gets, a different scoring system should be put in place.

I think takedowns are some swaying factors, but at the same time a takedown should only be worth a **** if you can capitalize on the takedown.. If a guy gets something like a triangle attempt and nearly chokes his opponent out, he should get some credit for it even if he was taken down.

Guys like big Nog do some of their best work from the bottom. If a striker is rocked and takes his opponent down simply to get a breather, he probably shouldn't get much credit for his takedown unless he is putting in work..

 

I don't see whats so wrong with the 10 point must system, I mean, what are the other options? Fights will always haved to be judged round by round in the US, its just the way it is, and it helps to prevent corruption.

 

It definitely doesn't prevent corruption. Yes fights have to be judged round by round but i think they need a defined system for this to work. It always seems that judges are very biased towards one art or the other. I mean the judge for Hamill vs Bisping didn't score take downs at all. I dont care if the other guy gets up right away, one successful takedown takes as much energy as several combos.

I don't have an answer for you as to what exactly they should use. Perhaps have a split card where 1 would have ground score and the other would have stand up score :roll:.

 

It does helpt to prevent corruption, in that you have to justify at least 2 rounds, rather than just saying that the guy won the fight.
