I’m American and I also gave Yan all 3 rounds.

Complete robbery. MMA judging, especially in the UFC, is a joke. It’s who the organization wants to win…

I honestly didn’t know O Malley got the decision until the day after. it seemed like such an obvious win for Yan that I went out for a smoke with a few people. And whoever was still inside said that Yan had won all 3 rounds when I came back in. Crazy retarded judging

Just rewatched. I originally had it 29-28 Yan, now I am leaning 30-27 Yan.

The no. 1 criteria is damage but that is also flawed. What do you do when someone gets a kneebar early, tears the other guy’s knee apart but then proceeds to get the shit beaten out of him for 3 rounds? Still did more damage but he didn’t win the fight.

Then who is landing harder? That is pretty hard to measure but I’d argue that Sean was way more rocked than Yan.

Either way, if you found a way to score this fight for Sean then you should be sent to prison and share a cell with the other two judges and Brett Rogers.

Sean landed more punches
Yan did get takedowns but did zero with them no damage
Sean did Damage and it showed on Yan’s face
Very close fight but based on Damage and strikes landed good decision win for Sean

In my humble opinion, Sean landed punches, on Yan’s arms. Which I’d expect him to do since he has the reach advantage. Yan got takedowns, and damage from them was lackluster, but Sean didn’t just get up from the takedowns like it was nothing. And Sean cut Yan ONCE, but that’s one hell of an absurd criteria they need to get rid of, to be honest.

Damage is too subjective. Some guys get hit once and look like they got ran over by a truck while others can get in a fight with a pick axe and still not look worse for wear.

Except in this case OMalley outlanded Yan by a significant margin

And hurt him (as did Yan) and gave him an epic head vagina.

You’re talking about cosmetic damage to which GSP and Fedor were the worst. However, while still subjective, you have to look at the immediate impact of the strikes - did it rock or daze someone, did it snap their head back, etc etc.

I was gonna mention that. I agree that it isnt as subjective. Good point i failed to address.

How dose someone give the first round to yan?

Or the 3rd round where O’Malley dominated with his jab, and got up from every TD

99% of people dont know shit about fighting. O’Malley legit won rounds 1 and 3

Super close amazing fight. But O’Malley won fair and sqaure.

This thread reminds me that 99% of people dont know shit about fighting and are just brainless NPCs whom parrot the commentary

More total strikes landed and a takedown maybe that’s why?

I gave O’Malley round 1. Round 2 was clearly yans. Round 3 could have gone either way but I gave the edge to O’Malley.
Could have gone either way but this is not a robbery
