Automatic loss for blatant running?

[Koro_11]

Seriously, when a fighter completely takes the last round off and just backpedals I don’t care what happened in round one and two, the judges should just look at it as a forfeit.

You’re either willing and able to continue fighting, or you’re not. Backpedaling for 5 minutes while hoping the clock runs out is not fighting.

DQ, yellow cards, 10-7 rounds... whatever it takes, but that playing the points and trying to survive system needs to go.

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

At least he lost.

A point should be taken.

Machida would have not had a UFC career

 

[Dirge]

The ref had the option to take a point for refusing to engage and he should have.

 

[MidnightSnacks**]

It says in the rules that a point should be taken in that situation but instead the dumbest ref got mad about the cursing

 

[pick999]

these dumb refs wont do anything

how do you score this fight 30-27 dawadu though?

 

[Ufcmaster]

You guys are taking this way too far lol

This is not even in the top 10 the worst running that has occured in the UFC

Even with the current scoring system it’s pretty easy. He literally did all the damage, doubled the output and significant strikes, and his opponent did absolutely nothing for an entire round.

 

[Rhood]

Agreed!
This is point fighting on a whole new level.
It is really despicable.

If this is the case then they should strip Adesanya and Nate vs Conor 2 becomes a win for Nate 2-0

Machida Cut corners not run in circles for 15 mins

 

[Strijfy]

Conor would never had won that last fight against Nate

Conor would never had won that last fight against Nate

Are these supposed to be bad things?

 

[DarthChen731]

Dumb take

 

[Raffen]

If a fighter does that Dana should step into the octogan and fire them on the spot

 

[fightfan70]

that was to distract people that he came in way overweight.

 

[Strijfy]

not at all

 

[Sweater of AV]

Not only that, Tukhugov missed weight by four pounds. Embarrassing for Team Khabib.
