Im tying to understand, the rules for judging a round states that effective striking is the first criteria. if thats equal, then we head to grappling...

didnt giga dominate the striking in round 1? why didnt he win it?

are judges just doing whatever they want? seems so. 50-44? are they smoking crack? are they all going rogue?

(btw i had kattar winning the fight)
 
The way you're understanding the scoring doesn't make sense.

What if Calvin took him down a minute and a half in? We can still all agree Giga landed the more powerful shots and more volume on the feet but then are we forced to ignore the majority of the round? That doesn't make any sense.
 
I think Effective Striking and Effective Grappling are on equal ground, and Aggressiveness and all of that comes after them. I would hope so, anyway.

The round was mixed. I don't know the time spent striking or grappling, but at the end of it, I felt like all 3 judges had Kattar up 10-9.

I will admit I only started watching the fight in the 2nd round but am I missing something here in the 1st round?.... did he really "dominate" with 8 strikes landed?

Damage with the new rules, because of the focus on "immediate". Neither was really hurt, so you had Kattar clearly winning the grappling, even dominantly. That would then come first.

Giga lost round 1 because he didn't land that much in round 1 and got controlled for +3 minutes and got his back taken.

You could argue that the last round was 10-8

Live you felt a brief tournado busting up Kattar.
He landed heavy and quick strikes. A few leg kick,a Silva front kick and a few punches.
The stats don't really tell the whole story. When they were standing in round 1 you felt like Gigas was dominating and in control (still lost the round tho)

Are you smoking crack?

How does landing 9 total strikes and 0 knockdowns in a 5 minute round constitute dominating it?

Kattar landed twice as many total strikes, took Chikadze down, controlled him for 3 minutes 19 seconds, and had him in a submission attempt in Round 1.

Ok so how does one "dominate" a round standing when they didn't even land double digit strikes?

Was he dominating or did Giga win a couple exchanges? That is hardly "Dominating".

My definition of dominating someone is every Khamzat UFC fight. That's dominating.
 
Kattar was such a live dog at a crazy +190.
Are u kidding me ? Giga stopped a " well on the other side of career " Edson ..... at 145 and the recency bias off that is just fucking crazy as the giga snowball turned into a dinosaur boulder. This " almost" like Ortega- max and then when he fought zombie, lol, everyone thought Ortega was going to get trucked.

Kattar is a top 145er and because he lost a dominant decision to Max , he was reduced to " hype ". This is a brutal game but if you're smart enough to see Vegas making an obvious mistake ( hard to do - don't get me wrong), this is when u pounce.

I woke up this morning and couldnt even pat myself on the back because I only put a lousy 50$ on Kattar. I feel like I lost ....not going to lie - Vegas got me ( couldnt understand how this guy was almost closing near 3-1. I thought, maybe, I was just off on matchup).
At least I stuck to my guns somewhat.

The first criteria is effective striking and grappling, so you have the rules wrong.

Kattar wo every single rounds. The first was close but Kattar edged it via wrestling and the submission threat.
The other rounds were clearly his and the last one could have a 10-8 due to the KD and the fact that Giga was literally saved by the belt.

50-45 or 50-44 makes perfect sense, nothing to see here, TS..

Watch the start of round 1.
The stats don't tell the whole story.
When they were standing in round 1 Giga was in control while Calvin didn't land anything.
The momentum changed when they went to the ground
 
The majority of round one was Giga on his back. When they were standing his advantage was about 60-40 so overall the round was won by Kattar. I scored it 50-45
 
At no point did Giga have Calvin in any point of real danger in that round. Calvin very obviously had giga in Danger by having control of his back. Not to mention having the vast majority of control time for the rd. Giga just didn't land enough strikes, nor were they damaging enough before getting taken down to really have that outweigh how soundly he was out grappled for the majority of the rd.
