I'm not hating Woodley. He demonstrated he was the better overall fighter, showed that he'd be the most likely to get a finish, and dominated the parts of the fight he was winning. The problem is mma scoring. Those fights would have been the ones that, afterwards, we as fans would all go "See, something's wrong with the scoring and it needs to change" after Wonderboy won, but he still should have won. Unfortunately, round based scoring means the guy who wins the majority of the time is usually the winner, as opposed to overall effectiveness, and Wonderboy spent most of both fights edging out Woodley on every encounter until Woodley rocked him in the fucking face and almost killed him multiple times, and there were even several times the ref maybe even should have stopped it, but he didn't.
Wonderboy won like 70% of the overall 50 minutes. Problem is, his "winning" is like 60% him, 40% Woodley. Whereas, the 30% of the fight Woodley won was like 95% Woodley. So yeah, do the math on that, and you've got 56.5% - 43.5% in favor of Woodley. But until you can tell me what 3 rounds Woodley won in either fight, all your defenses sound like "Karate guy wasn't fun enough! Bad men need punishment for my time wasted!" Might as well just hop on the Nick Diaz logic-train of "but if there were time limits, I would have won." Too bad, there are.
