MMA pays some lip service but they mostly just shrug and say, "This feels right..
It’s a fight, that feels more right than judging based on “significant strikes” or takedowns where one dude doesn’t even look phased. I’ve held for a longtime that if you try takedowns and can’t get them or get the takedown and can’t generate any offense from it, that should be judged against you. I fricking hate when a guy will win from just being in top position for a majority of the fight, yeah you have top position but if you can’t do anything with it, you’re losing that exchange, their defense outclasses your offense

No you aren’t, if you’re in full mount and maintain the position you’re still winning, now if the bottom guy escapes mount whether it’s using a trap and roll or recovers gets to x guard, half guard etc, then yes that should count if the mount position gets nullified from a scoring point of view

Terrible gameplan from Belal. Trying to show he had canelo hands cost him his first title defense

Mingo is clueless. He needs to compete in a jiu jitsu or submission grappling at least once and get a feel for things

quote:Exactly. 'Well at least Belal showed he can put on an exciting fight.' Yeah, and lose it. I'm sure if he was back again, he would love to have fought boring and retained his belt. Ironically by losing with his striking, he only reinforced the criticism that he can only win with his boring wrestling. Damned if he did, damned if he didn't, so he should have just played to his own strengths from the start instead of playing to JDM's strengths.

You don’t think Dana….a businessman…..who literally went to Vince McMahon to learn how to grow his business wouldn’t have a guy who represents something that people hate who people would love to see get beat? Gee….I wonder what Conor would say about this, Chael also…..
The guy is also a ‘boring’ fighter so I’m sure people would LOVE to see him lose……

Never competed but did train in it and man did I love it. Would absolutely love to start training again but between my body being broken and needing to take care of my dad that’s probably never going to be an option.
Actually, while I was training one of the guys was trying to convince me to compete in a tournament in Mississippi (this was many moons ago). He wanted me to cut a bunch of weight to compete in a lower weight division so I wouldn’t be competing with another guy in our class.

Right position shouldn’t matter if you aren’t doing damage or threatening with sub attempts.
I prefer the total damage done/closest to ending the fight judging rather than point bullshite.

Yeah I had a neck injury I’m still trying to recover from. I was hoping to do no gi pan ams this year at purple belt but I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
Hopefully I can start training again soon, I’d be a lot closer to my brown belt if it weren’t for that

You gotta maintain position and pressure prior to submission or finishing with strikes. Simple concept but easier said than done. If I’m maintain mount or rear mount/back control and my opponent has done nothing then I won

I dont think Valentina is that kind of woman as long as you cuddled her after.

If you have position and don’t do anything with it, then you’re neutral IMO. Going for subs or strikes at least opens you up for defense counters. Getting in an advantageous position and then doing nothing with it shouldn’t be rewarded, but I also think there should be more 10-10 rounds.

That’s kind of the point. There should be more “negative” judging for lack of a better term. If you shoot a million takedowns and can’t get it, that should be held against you, not be neutral. Or if you get a takedown and can’t advance the position, land a strike, at least try a submission, you aren’t winning, you’re losing. In MMA, again it’s not ju jitsu
It’s kind of hard to explain in words but it’s clear when you see it. guys shouldn’t be winning rounds or fights based on doing nothing, imo

It’s hard for you because you never done it
