New Judging Idea

Also a quiz at the end, the judge is shown a picture of the fighter after the fight ends, they have to match the correct name to the picture for their score to count
 
"About half of all UFC fights will end inside the distance, but more so by TKO than by submission. The finish rate for 2016 was 49 percent, thanks to 153 KO/TKOs and 89 submissions. That's just slightly down from 50 percent the prior year, but generally holding steady." https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/18751510/mma-how-every-ufc-fight-ended-2016

So 50% of the time it is in the hands of the judges.

Sigh.
 
People like to over complicate shit. The 10-9 system works fine, the problem is the incompetent judges. If the judges actually had a month or 2 of training to improve their knowledge of the sport they'd understand what winning looks like.
 
They should use the Iowa method. Release partial results of the judges decision, then wait 4 days, let both guys claim victory, then release full results. then recanvas the judges.
 
Most fights 10 minutes, Main events 20 minutes. Always one round. Judges pick based on the whole fight. Damage > Control but control is important.
 
Make the Rounds 10 min, 5 min and 5 min
Bring in the Pride judges and Pride scoring system
Replace Bruce Buffer with screamy lady
Move fights back to Japan
rename UFC PRIDE
Dana can stay, he's cool
 
Why pick 5 at random?

<Huh2>

How about you just replace Solis and call it a deal.
 
That's almost as good of an idea as glasses to stop eyepokes and a plexiglass cage
Have they ever talked about a clear type of material for the fence? Not really needed but it could be nice
 
You could just wire up all the judges. If x% think one has stupid scores, he gets tasered by online voting. Or just get a guillotine and a bucket. Lol.
 
It is not actually new as I think it is used in other sports.


Have 8 Judges assigned (one for each side of the Octagon)
Have the system computerized
All Judges submit scores
Only 5 of the scores are actually used(picked at random by the computer)

The actual number of judges can be modified.
Stopped reading after 8 judges for the octagon
 
Clearly it should be a telephone and text vote at the end of each fight that goes the distance and the winners are all revealed at the end of the night.
 
just get rid of the time limit.

Back to UFC1 rules!!!!!
 
I say get rid of all the judges. Whichever fighter is able to leave the octagon on their own power is declared the winner. There are no rounds and the ref is only there to perform CPR and set broken bones.
