Why are they more frequent in Bellator? Is it because of the jurisdictions where the fights are held, or is it because Bellator management is influencing judges?

Please don't ask Barry questions like this unironically.

I actually scored that 2nd round 10-8 for Carvalho but I can see where you're coming from.

Definitely dodged a bullet there. Ended up making a good amount last night because of it and I guess I can't complain really about that Anderson/Shogun decision anymore. But man does a decision like this ever crush my confidence in the judges when placing large bets.

lol Just noticed this now. Was trying to be sarcastic, but it didn't come across very well I guess.

Very interesting analysis of the main event decision by Jimmy Smith here. Worth a read. Among other things, he says he has never seen a worse decision in a fight he had to commentate. He also addresses some of the ridiculous statements made by Rob Hines, a one of the judges who scored it for Carvalho.

that was a long read

i actually think rob hinds is in the right in some respects. 3+ of those rounds had nada to go on. tough to score. they do score fights round by round, not as a fight, etc.

we need more 10-10's & 10-8's.

10-10s and 10-8s would likely lead to a lot more draws though which promoters, fighters and most fans loathe.
