i wish the judges would loosen up and judge more rounds 10-8, 10-7 even 10-10. if fighter A beats the tar out of fighter B he should get better than if squeezes out a close round
Scoring a round 10-8 has a lot to do with offensive output by the losing fighter, as well.
Round 2 seemed like a great candidate for a 10-8.
If stephan bonnar could score 10-8's against kingsbury almost strictly with stifling control and rapid positional progression, you'd have to say the same with cormier.
Unfortunately those are 10-9 rounds according to how judges have historically scored fights, but they absolutely should be 10-8s.
It's ridiculous that you can slam a guy, control him 100% of the time, land 99% of the strikes and literally have no offense mounted against you and it is scored exactly the same as a back and forth round where one guy debatably out strikes the other guy by a handful of strikes.
