Dana says judges give too many 10-8s

[killakillakilla]

Dana said in the post fight conference that judges are giving 10-8s too easily these days, referenced 2 rounds in the Jan-Izzy fight that were 10-8s for Jan but Dana said they should’ve been 10-9 rounds. He says judges should stop giving so many 10-8s. Do you agree?

I don’t agree with Dana. I think judges should be giving 10-8s more often.

The weird thing is, it's always been super hard to get a 10-8 round in MMA. They hand them out in boxing all of the time.

Dana is just mad Izzy and yan last

I kind of agree with him. Just because the 10-8 is there doesn't mean you have to hand them out like candy. I've been watching MMA for years and a 10-8 always meant that one fighter completely dominated the round against little to NO opposition from the opposing fighter.

Cause it's pretty simple in boxing. Win the round + knockdown = 10-8. Win the round and 2 knockdowns = 10-7. Completely dominate the round without a knockdown but hurt the opponent = 10-8. Basically a knockdown just takes an additional point away from the opponent.

I always thought it was ridiculous that it used to be so difficult to earn 10-8. There’s no reason a super close round should be awarded the same as a round that was clearly won by one of the fighters.

Well it used to be near impossible to get a 10-8 and people hated that too. So they changed the criteria to make them easier to get. Somebody will always complain.

I still don't understand how Henderson vs. Shogun 1 round 5 wasn't all 10-8's, it is one of the most perplexing judging decisions I've seen in MMA.....that round is one of the clearest examples of what a 10-8 round should be. Shogun completely dominated Henderson in that round and Henderson had no offense or defense in it. I think judges didn't score it 10-8 just because they didn't want the fight to be a draw.

I think of the gsp-Hendricks fight quite honestly. The rounds that gsp won were super close and the rounds that Hendricks won were not close. Hendricks clearly won them.

Yet they were awarded the same points for them which led to gsp winning the fight. That’s why that fight was so confusing because Hendricks should’ve been awarded more for the rounds he won than gsp was for the rounds he won.

There was only one 10-8 round awarded by two different judges in the 5th. I agree it was not a 10-8 round. So Jan won 49-46. What’s the problem, Dana?

Oh, I know. It was the UFC put all their eggs in the Izzy basket. And the guy was simply not what the UFC wanted you to believe.

Hey Dana. Promote your fucking champions. They are afterall CHAMPIONS. Quit trying to set up bullshit title shots, and trying to fuck around the people that have earned their rightful places in each division. It’s entertainment, but it should always remain a sport. And in sports.. You get what you earn, based on wins and losses. Not on who can make you a few dollars more, in a one time only affair.

Jan threw a big monkey wrench into the plans. And he fucking well deserves some respect. Not to be trashed by the President of the company. Fuck off Dana.

 

[bref]

Wasnt it just recently too hard to get a 10-8?

 

[2004 account]

Yea, don't you know... 10-8 rounds around good for the ufcs fight racketeering and decision fixing.

Do you even engineer fighters careers bro? No? Then leave that to the ufc

 

[BFoe]

They should be giving 10-10s more often.
But I agree that there was no 10-8 round in the main event. I like the new scoring though, in general. In the past we had shit like the 5th round of Shogun-Hendo 1, which was a legit 10-8 probably even under the old rules and yet no judge gave one. I didn’t even score it as one at the time. 10-8s just weren’t given back then much at all.

I agree, control alone shouldn't equal 10-8 rounds. It should be more focused on damage. Control + Damage. Khabib style control with ground and pound = 10 - 8 rounds, or multiple knockdowns and/or just getting butchered on the feet for the majority of the round. Control without a lot of damage on the ground is just like controlling the center of the octagon without much going on, or controlling them with your forward pressure and having the other fighter moving back the whole time. You wouldn't score that 10-8 rounds unless there was also a lot of damage included with that.. You score it as octagon control, same as pressing them against the cage. It should always be Control + Damage for the 10 - 8s and not just control by itself with not much damage or submission attempts going on.

A lot of control is just used to stall the action, so it shouldn't constitute 10-8 rounds.

 

[Washad]

If the first three rounds were 10-9 rounds, the last two should be 10-8 if the sport wants to be taken seriously.

Dana is such a retard. He would go on and on about fighters winning rounds based on doing nothing and just edging out rounds, STFU pink goof and make up your fkn mind.

Takedowns are scored so dumb in MMA

 

[FIghtxIQ]

The weird thing is, it's always been super hard to get a 10-8 round in MMA. They hand them out in boxing all of the time.

They do it with knockdowns and rounds where it was clear domination, meaning a lot of damage took place even without a knockdown taking place. In UFC they are doing it just for control time, that should just be used as octagon control and shouldn't be a 10-8 on control alone. Damage and close finish submission attempts for 10-8s. A lot of control is just used to stall the action, so it shouldn't constitute 10-8 rounds.

 

[egk]

LOL It wasn't that long ago people were crying for MORE 10-8s to be given and even 10-7s. lol
Just scrap the worthless ten point, round by round, system and score the fights as a whole like they should be.

He may be, but it doesn't change the issue with 10-8 rounds. I didn't see any round in that fight that should be properly scored a 10-8.

That’s mma judging for you. All that matters is the right winner. Jan won at least four if not all rounds regardless
