Did anyone score the fifth round Machida?
If this were judged for the entire fight, would anyone score the fight as a whole to Machida?
No, didn't score the 5th for Machida.
How would we judget the entire fight? 10pt system or some other criteria? The judging criteria have everything to do with who would win (i.e. if kicks to the body/legs are worth more than punches to the face then Rua wins, if strike counts matter more than effective striking then Rua wins, etc.).
the problem is 10 pt system vs PRIDE judging system could possibly have meant a different outcome
Pride never dies!
Shogun wins under Pride rules, no question.
Never leave the outcome to the hands of Cecil Peeples!
Or Sengoku ... (Gomi was robbed).
I wouldnt really blame this result on the judging criteria, just the judges.
