the diaz bros dont think its a dumb quote
It’s not meant to imply that you should change your style or take unnecessary risks.
It’s meant to let you know that if the judges screw you (which—unless you are a star—they sooner or later will), you really don’t have anyone to blame but yourself.
Seriously whoever came up with this stupid ass quote needs a reality check.
It’s a silly way of passing blame from the judges onto the fighters.
It basically suggests that if I’m winning the fight during the last round, then I should take more risks to finish the fight just to be sure that the judges aren’t gonna screw me over. That’s absolutely ridiculous. Why should somebody change their fighting style when they’re winning the fight just because the judges don’t know what the fuck they’re doing?
I guess I can kinda understand it a little if you’re a fighter who really loves to point-fight and keep things close then yea you’re probably gonna get screwed at some point or another. But it’s still a really stupid quote in my book and I hate how Dana White embraces it like it’s some genius idea. Get at least 5 judges to score a fight and that’ll at least help to decrease some of these god awful decisions.
That is literally the worst possible example—only partly because it’s tasteless.So the judges are never the ones to blame? seriously?
How about if the judges CLEARLY screw you, you blame the judges? Why is that not an acceptable answer?
That’s like when old people hear about a girl getting raped and ask what she was wearing.
Hence the saying.. "don't leave it in the hands of the judges." You seem to contradict your own post..So the judges are never the ones to blame? seriously?

The quote is part of the attitude of influencing fighters to go for the finish in close fights rather than chance it with the judges.
It’s part of the strategy of the ufc to encourage fighters to be more exciting.
