Has any fighter ever lost a 10-7 or even 10-8 round and then won the fight by decision?

[Buffmeister]

Henderson vs Shogun II

Hendo stopped Rua in the 2nd...

Just thinking about the scoring and it's been stated before that the 10 point system doesn't seem to work for MMA's 3-5 rounds. Unless you completely besmirch your opponent the rest of the fight a 10-7 round is a guaranteed decision loss or at best a draw with a 10-8. So, what's the point? There's no way to come back from such a points disadvantage in such a short timeframe. At least in boxing you have 12 rounds to come back from.

yes.
Hendo & Bipsing.
He caught Bisping with H-bomb, and still lost that fight (then again, the fight was in England, so you get your own conclusions).

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Maybe Edgar against Maynard 2/3
Both of those first rounds he got absolutely beat down. Still two of my favorite fights all time.
EDIT: ah my mistake. I didn’t catch any decision

Carwin vs Lesnar

Hendo stopped Rua in the 2nd...

Oh right, I meant the first one that went 5 rounds.

in mma you cant have a 10-8 round.

Edwards lost the last round against Diaz 10-8 (or at least he should have).

49-46 says no judge scored the last round 10-8

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

Dan Henderson vs Jake Shields also. He literally mauled him the first round, then got utterly dominated on the ground.

This a really good answer. Dropped Shields in the first 20 seconds. Beat the crap out of him the rest of the round, a clear 10-8. Jake then went on to win the next 4 rounds and grapplefucked Hendo.

 

[Street Bishop]

Barboza vs Castillo. It was a 3 rounder as well.

...was a classic

MMA has to take the amount of rounds into consideration.

 

[Epicman1324]

Should have happened in Frankie vs Gray 2. 1st round should have been an unquestionable 10-7, and then Frankie won the next 4 rounds IMO. 47-46.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Has there ever been a 10-8 round for each fighter in the same fight?

 

[No Mas]

Hendo vs. Shields

Has there ever been a 10-8 round for each fighter in the same fight?

and again Hendo vs. Shields

 

[sdpdude9]

Aldo vs. Hominick. Hominick got a 10-8 on 2 cards but lost every other round I believe.

To the point though, if a guy loses a 10-8 or 10-7 round does he really deserve a decision unless he does something spectacular himself or dominates the rest of the fight?

 

[slavomir]

None of you saw 10-7 round in your life.
Wtf are you even talking about.

 

[Aluminati]

Didn't Val get one against Cachoeira? She outlanded her like 100-3 in the round and controlled her for like 4 minutes.

I don't know, don't follow wmma that closely.
It seems weird ts and others are discussing something that I didn't see in quarter century to happen in MMA.

Hendo vs. Shields



and again Hendo vs. Shields

I'd like the same judge(s) to give a 10-8 each way

Dude 10-8s are rare as fuk and chances you see 10-7 is almost as probable as hitting jack pot in lottery.
