Was discussing with my friend how rd 1 was a 10-8, he thinks it's nuts that it was 10-8. I explained Total Strikes landed in rd 1 were 61-5, significant strikes 16-3, 1 submission attempt and then less importantly 4:35m of control time. He still thinks it shouldn't have been a 10-8, 10-8's are just supposed to be clearly dominant rds and that was a super dominant rd. Clear 10-8 imo.
I don't like the application of 10-8 in MMA. In boxing, where the 10 point system comes from, if there is no knockdown a 10-8 is reserved for a round where a real beating took place. That's different from a dominant round. Riding someones back for 5 minutes isn't a beating imo and doesn't derserve the bonus point, it's just an easy to score round
