Is it a 10-8 round if you only land1 strike the whole round?

Noons/Burkman

I was thinking the same thing.

burkman/noons rd 1 > lawler/condit rd 5

Technically, it very well could be. But I don't think that many of those leg kicks Josh was landing were very hard. I don't see how you could really lose a round 10-8 exclusively due to inactivity when you aren't being visibly hurt.

Burkman certainly didn't have him in danger or come close to finishing but KJ did nothing. I think they should score it a 10-8, incredible timidity and unwillingness to engage or commit to a single strike should be about the worst thing you can do in a round. People should be able to lose rounds 10-8 without having to be dropped 2 or more times and beaten half to death.

Maia/Magny

"effective aggressiveness" is scoring criteria, so yes, that's terrible. Probably lowest priority if no damage is done, but I wouldn't even be mad if that first round was 10-8 at all...

I found it even more egregious that they counted all the strikes he didn't actually throw as attempted strikes.

 

[EndlessCritic]

one of the most one sided rounds in ufc history.

Yeah he was just reaching forward testing his range, I really don't think you can put much value on the stats at all.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

I'd say 10-7 is better deserved

 

[anthony stark]

No since the round where rjj never got hit was not a 10-8

Leg kicks in that first round didn't look extremely hard but they landed and did damage. His knee was red inside and out. I think his ribs on the opposite side were showing it too. Should have been a 10-8 IMO

I think it's definitely possible if the guy who is winning is doing it through grappling and getting close to finishing with subs
