I'd like to whine about some recent round scores I've had an issue with.
The two that come to mind are all three judges giving the 1st round of Javi x Mendes to Mendes, and the judge that gave "Ol' Ship Shack" the last round vs. Bang (which I believe was corrected as 10-10; still bullshit).
Are there any more round scores you guys have had an issue with from the last UFC or WEC?
TTT
Hardy - Judges are told to not score rounds as 10-10 unless absolutely necessary. UFC hates draws (the lightweight belt was put off for a few years because Penn/Uno was a draw) They don't want them.
And I am one of those of the opinion that avoiding a draw at all costs just creates more problems, as well as being an inarguable example of a coordinated and dedicated effort to NOT follow the unified rules (just like no 10-8's).
It's shocking the judges pick and choose what part of the scoring criteria they feel like using and we have consistent controversy and bass-ackwards scores turned in!
Thanks Zed and oleg.
