In ONE FC successfully defending a takedown counts for scoring should the UFC follow suit?

Defense shouldn't count? I don't understand that at all. If you defend a td you have tired out the opponent and implemented your plan. It's the same as octagon control or should be probably scored higher. Ank one that 4th round and the guy who beat aldo literally won rounds for pushing people into a cage. No damage done not even a foot stomp or body knee. The whole scoring system is dumb. That's obvious when guys like belal are just point fighting

Failed takedowns should be a point deduction for the fighter attempting. Takedown defense should be scored as much as a knockdown.

No you didn't, you just prevented their plan. That's like saying my goal is to not get hit, so I'm winning points as long as I'm not punched.

It VERY clearly isn't, and that's still even the tertiary criteria on scoring.

Yes exactly your goal is to not get hit or taken down
 
"yo the way he ducked that headkick was so awesome, i give him that round"
 
I would rather watch someone duck and slip then reward some wall press bullshit. All you did was get real close and hold them. Thats less impressive then making someone miss punches

Holding someone down on the mat or up against the cage shouldn't count as anything in the first place. Stalemating a fight ≠ winning.

There it is. Even further simplified:
Preventing your opponent from doing anything is not "beating them".

Question though: In a hypothetical bizarre fight, if one fighter throws 100 strikes, but the other dodges them all and offers literally nothing in return the entire fight, who wins? Or if one guy does 100 failed takedown attempts, but the other guy does literally nothing else other than defend those takedowns. . .?
 
They should make it so any time the goalie saves a shot in soccer that team is awarded a goal.

What about if you knock someone down but they manage to defend themselves and get back in the fight. Do you lose that round?

MMA fans have the funniest logic.
 
Takedown defence shouldn’t count as offence….Takedown attempts, holding against the cage and meaningless takedowns shouldn’t count for anything

I meant stay in the fight. As in defend well enough to not get finished continue on fighting.

That takes pretty good defence to pull that off while rocked out of your mind.. so in that logic this should score very highly.

I mean if u wanna give him a #1 runner up fridge magnet, or a second place t shirt, you could do that.
 
It's ONE Championship, their rules & scoring are made to encourage fighters to be more aggressive and go for the finish. That's why they allow grounded knees to the head and hand out yellow cards for stalling, and also why they give you points for defending takedowns. They want fighters to stand & bang.
 
Everything should count in context but the judging is already to subjective.

That would be ideal but there does seem to be a scoring or judging bias that always goes to the guy holding the other guy against the cage vs the guy succesfuly preventing that takedown.

The Aldo vs Merab fight was a huge example of that.
