Dana White disagreed with Ian Machado Garry’s win over Michael Page: ‘I had that fight a draw’

10-10s exist

Not really. They are technically possible but never happen.

 

[Ares Black]

Ian Machado Garry won 29-28, clear as day. Dana White is a joke whose opinion should not be taken seriously.

not really man.

Bout the same as Bigfoot

Bout the same as Bigfoot

I have watched literally thousands of fights and I don't think I have ever seen one.

I thought MVP won. He landed more significant strikes on the feet in the second and 3rd and Garry didn't do anything with his control time really. Meh, whatever fight sucked anyway thanks Mr Ian Run away Machado Garry.

I was fine with either guy getting the nod.

Ultimately MVP lost a completely winnable fight because he's not even a blue belt on the ground. Baffling he's made it to here without getting prepared on basic escapes.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Either way, I couldn’t care less to see either guy fight again. MVP has had some fucking stinkers in his career and Garry is boring as shit.

 

[DrTrouble]

Dana wanted to see more just bleed stuff. If he saw it as a tie then it very well could've gone to either guy given the structure of judging.

So Dana wanted one judge to score it a tie while the other two split?

When is the last time a judge scored a round 10-10 in the UFC? Anybody know?

 

[thewhiterooster]

of course he does. MVP is better for business

 

[DecisionSplit]

When is the last time a judge scored a round 10-10 in the UFC? Anybody know?

September of 2022. William Gomis vs Jarno Errens had judge Chapuis give the third round a 10-10. One before that is literally all the way in 2018. Meaning they are barely handing 10-10 rounds out anymore.

Been a fight fan for 4 solid decades, still don't consider myself slick enough to call a ufc MMA round winner due to the ambiguous rules.

One thing that anybody objective could see, regardless of how it was scored, is Ian was scared the entire time. He did not want to engage At All, he only wanted to avoid MVP and survive. If he did enough to "win" when his RNC was the only offense he tried the entire time to finish the fight, it's a sad AF commentary on his ability in any type of combat. Don't care to ever see him "fight" again, not even to see him lose. I give him credit, he didn't get knocked out by MVP as I fully expected.

Fights like this are why round scoring sucks - score the fight as a whole with damage as the only criteria and fighters will have a much clearer idea of what it means to be winning at any given moment.

 

[Brendan The Hybrid Schaub]

dana doesn't know 10-10s aren't real. unless he gave a 10-8 or something

 

[Thepaintbucket]

It's all caused by round by round scoring. If the UFC and athletic commission did away with this stupid system there would be so much less controversy. Less fighters stalling, trying to steal rounds, doing as little as possible in a superior position and winning by default.

I'm not even sure if it's worth anybody's energy to debate who won. I'm going to close my eyes and pretend like that fight never happened

Ian only engages with people who he knows can't hurt him. He was very confident with Magny cause he knew he couldn't hurt him, where as with Neal he was back peddling and fighting at distance because he knew he could hurt him if he let him get close. The fight vs MVP was not a good look for him whatsoever and I can't see him touching a belt anymore, let alone being able to beat anyone within the top 3. Especially Shavkat..Shavkat most likely kills him.

 

[Poirierfan]

Dana White sucks at scoring fights

Dana White sucks, period. Lol

 

[filthybliss]

Dana doesn't know squat about mma beyond marketing.

 

[stronghulk]

The Irishman has commenced his UFC run at 8-0, making him the fourth welterweight to go on this type of win streak. Georges St. Pierre, Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards are the first three.

Pretty nice club to join, have to give him that.

 

[Kwic]

Ian should get some heat for that pre fight speech where he slammed MVP, then after the fight suddenly he changed the tune because he got schooled in the standup.
If he didn't no way he would have said the same thing IMO.
