The "Controversial Decision" Thread

Question

Lets start a thread where we will debate on controversial decision from either the judges or the referees.

As I am watching UFC 144 and IMO, Mizugaki controlled the fight, got 2 and a half takedowns, was effective on the ground. i scored this one 29-28 in favor of Mizugaki but seems like the judges saw it the other way and scored it in favor of Cariaso.

Controversial? Yes! This may not be the steal of the year but Mizugaki still deserves the win!

Yeah that was a surprising decision, I couldn't believe that was a UD, I thought they had to have read the scorecards wrong or something.

MMAjunkie scored it 30-27 Mizugaki but admitted all rounds were close, and Sherdog's guys scored it 29-28 (Jordan Breen scored it for Cariaso), so maybe not a BLATENT robbery. I dunno though, I was sure Mizugaki had that!

Noticed what Rogan said about the Pride scoring system? He said that they scored the fight not by round but as a whole fight, no round scoring and he loved it...They should switch to that system, that would be a lot more faire to every fighter. We see more and more fighters trying to get the takedown on the last second of a round to win the round and I find this really unfair...

For scoring I always thought is there a way they could still use round scoring but also score the total fight. A fight that comes to mind is sherk

Damn!Shrrk vs Dunham. Sherk was beat to a pulp in round three. Barely survived yet win 2 rds to 1Back to controversial judging from last night. Akiyama grabbing the cage twice. A clear 1 pt deduction yet there wasn&#39;t one. It could have been a factor. There is no covsistency with that, strikes to back if head. And then the groin kick. Is it a warning? 1 pt? Or the 2 pt deduction fuck over that got us all with caceres

ALLTIME WORST-AT BELLATOR-&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Zoila Frausto vs. Megumi Fujii &#xD;&#xA;i had it 49-46 for the person,benefit of a doubt 48-47,but she dominated the warrior princess queen,worst decision of all time-she has never fought in the states again !!!!

waynechung · Answer

SORRY GUYS,my computer went nuts,frausto vs fujji at bellator,she won 49-46,at worst 48-47,the worst ever,fujji has never fought in the states again // also agree on the person the other night,he had solid top control for 2 rounds and if you want to compare similar bughts where guys off the bottom were outworking the guy on top-then how many bad beats has curran had-just saying lets judge them on a fair playing field,makes this sport very dangerous to bet ??

kevalev · Answer

I remember that Sherk vs Dunham fight, Dunham had like 30 sub attempt and controlling the fight. I remember I had Sherk, was happy for my money but he didn&#x27;t deserve to win at all!

Overall, I still beleive UFC scoring is much better than boxing. I avoid wagering on boxing in fear of losing because of a bad decision.

kevalev · Answer

Again and again, always the same story, somebody get robbed ans it was Mccall&#x27;s turn yesterday! Even with the draw I think Mccall had it 2 round to 1!

jonnyg4508 · Answer

If 1 guy won 1 round. And another guy won another. And 1 of the 3 rounds was a close round that you give to McCall....

How is it a robbery? Because you think a close 2-1 for DJ should of been a close 2-1 for McCall it should be labeled a robbery?

I've been watching MMA for years. Just because you don't agree with scoring of a close fight, doesn't mean it is a robbery.

I think the word robbery is thrown around too much in MMA.
