    I think it is rediculous if they were Boxing judges doing MMA fights. They need real MMA judges who knows how to score properly.

    Well one was Cecil Peoples, a well known former karate guy.

    Whenever there is an argument in the world of MMA, Cecil is a 100% indicator of which side is wrong.

    Because he's easily corruptable.

    He'll always have a job.

    first of all Cecil Peoples has no right judging a MMA fight in the US because US scoring system favors the fighter who scores more than trying to finish the fight, He should know better cause the fight didn't happened in Japan. Regarding the clean strikes, if you saw Machida's cuts all over his face and damages in his legs, you know it came from clean strikes, if he really was saying that them as judges had the clearer view of what's happening inside the cage he should have know that Shogun kicks were all clean. I really believe People's karate backround had helped him influenced his scoring cause Machida's karate flashes will really make you think he's scoring

    judging has been the second biggest problem in fight sports after corrupt promoters since they went to judging. they won't suspend or terminate corrupt/incompetent judges, because it allows the corruption to continue.

    as long as you have these vampires feeding off the blood sweat and tears of fighters you'll have old senile ****s ruining their records and pissing off fans.
