Cruz swing at air all night
Exactly. Definitely Cruz.From the MMA Unified Rules:
C) Judges shall evaluate mixed martial arts techniques, such as effective striking, effective grappling, effective aggressiveness and Cage/ring control. Scoring evaluations shall be made giving equal weight to effective striking and effective grappling. It will be determined on a sliding scale. If a round is affected more by striking, then striking will be weighed more heavily. If a round is affected more by grappling than grappling will be weighed more heavily. Cage/Ring Control are secondary criteria to be used when effective striking and effective grappling are even. Effective aggression will be weighed more heavily than cage/ring control. “Effective striking” is judged by determining the impact of legal strikes landed by a contestant and the number of such legal strikes. Heavier strikes that have a visible impact on the opponent will be given more weight than the number of strikes landed. These assessments include causing an opponent to appear stunned from a legal blow, causing the opponent to stagger, appearance of a cut or bruise from a legal strike and causing the opponent to show pain. Cumulative impact on a fighter will also be weighed. If neither fighter shows an advantage in impact of strikes, the number of strikes will determine the most effective striker.
“Effective grappling” is judged by considering the amount of successful executions of a legal takedown, reversals and submission attempts. Examples of factors to consider are take downs from standing position to mount position, passing the guard to a dominant position, and bottom position fighters using an active, threatening guard to create submission attempts. Submission attempts which come close to ending a fight will be weighted more highly than attempts which are easily defended. Submission attempts which cause an opponent to weaken or tire from the effort required to defend the technique will also be weighted highly in scoring. High amplitude takedowns and throws which have great impact will be scored more heavily than a takedown which does not have great impact.
“Effective aggression” is moving forward scoring with a legal technique or attacking from the guard with threatening submissions.
“Cage/Ring Control” is dictating the pace, place and position of the fight

NOExactly. Definitely Cruz.
That's scoring in the heat of the moment. Adrenaline kicks in and alters critical thinking. Plus rogan was pro cody all night and that sways public perception. I actually muted it.HHow the hell did cruz win the first? All 3 guys on sherdog play by play gave it to Cody. Pretty much everyone on the fight thread was saying 1-0 to Cody. I just dont know when so many people changed their views on that round
A very unbiased opinion. If you were judging by significant strikes round by round. majority decision would sway towards Dom being the champion. But at the same time it could go Cody. Just a minor set back for Dom. His gameplan wasn't smart tonight he bought the fight to Cody when it was suppose be the other way around. I guess TAM finally figured out how to counter him by letting him be the aggressor.
In that case, DJ beat Cruz.If we go solely by strikes landed yeah Cruz won....
If Cruz won, then Nate must´ve won vs Conor. Dom got schooled harder than Nate ever did.Exactly. Definitely Cruz.

Hence why i said rounds 3 and 4 are cody's. I'm not saying cruz won every round because of the significant strikesHere is the biggest OFFICIAL point to focus on for judging this particular fight:
Heavier strikes that have a visible impact on the opponent will be given more weight than the number of strikes landed. These assessments include causing an opponent to appear stunned from a legal blow, causing the opponent to stagger, appearance of a cut or bruise from a legal strike and causing the opponent to show pain.
I scored rounds 1, 2, and 5 to cruz
3 and 4 were definitely Cody.
The UFC scoring has always been round by round so I'm not sure you could possibly have Cody winning. Round 1 was close.
Cruz learnt a valuable lesson tonight...never leave it in the hands of the judges. It was closer than Woodley and Wonderboy that's for certain.
I think for that reason Cruz will get an instant rematch and TJ will get rivera after he beats Caraway.
You lose a fight you should have won?That's what happens when you fight pattycake point fighting runner style and you're in there against a mollywhopper knocking your face off.
