Why does nobody ever score 10-10 rounds? What's the problem?

    For me in my personal opinion, there are too many significant events that take place in 5 minute round in MMA to call it a 10-10 round.

    A head kick, a low kick, a knee to the head or body, punches, combination punches, a jab, a take down, a single leg take down, a double! a sweep, mount, side control, taking the back.

    In one single Jui Jitsu exchange you can transition into 3, 4, 5 or 6 different positions and every movement may well be a significant one, in the meantime your opponent is being grossly outscored.

    For me the problem is with interpretation, thats the big problem. 10-10 rounds should be very rare in MMA, I'm not saying I'm against it, I'm saying they should be rare.

    I think they should be rare as well. At the moment they are virtually nonexistent.

    And you can't keep an exact running tally of every single move both fighters make over a 5 minute span, and then mentally list them all and add them up and mark the card to whoever scores highest. That's not the way professional fight sports work. :good

    In some rounds, any reasonable, knowledgeable observer would say "Neither guy showed any real superiority over the other. Neither of them were particularly effective and the round showed them to be well matched." If that's the case, why would 10-10 be an inappropriate judgment? :conf

    Why not? Instead of 3 judges have 9.

    One judges striking, one grappling, one aggression.

    Or devise a way to log everything! what an absolutely idiotic statement this is:

    When you are trying to define a winner from a fight do you think a fighter would appreciate a dum **** wit comment like that?

    9-9 score are possible in MMA ?

    If so instead of a 10-10 round in Carmont/Larkins should have been 9-9...the audience were the losing people in that fight !

    Oh, you want to have nine judges for every fight? Yeah, that sounds realistic. What happens when it's two strikers who fight 3 rounds on the feet in the middle of the cage, with no grappling involved? Do the striking and grappling judges have equal weight on the scorecards even when the fight is 90% one or the other?

    Or "a way to log everything"? We have that, it's called our eyes in connection with our brain. And we even give the judges video screens for when their eyes are at a bad angle.

    What would your "way to log everything" be? Care to flesh that concept out? :blood

    First of all, you chopped off half the quote. :-(

    Second, explain to me how Henderson-Melendez round 2 was decisively won by either man, and why you can't reasonably argue that the other man won it. Public opinion on who took it is split - because it was so ****ing evenly contested - but everybody seems to agree it was a ******* of a round to score. So if you don't feel that either man clearly stepped up and took it, what the **** is wrong with scoring it 10-10? :-(
