The only way to settle this is Ngannou v. Faber

You scored Sandhagen like most mma media outlets that are recorded. 6 out of 20+ Scored for TJNo. The second round can not be reasonably scored for Barber. It was a robbery, and I don't throw that word around.
The main event was debatable. I scored it for 48-47 Sandhagen(2,4,5), but the third and fourth were so close that it's no robbery.
Miranda Maverick won two of three rounds, and the judges got it wrong.

That is a good idea.Pay all fighters show/win money regardless of result and transition to a stoppage incentives model.
This has always been the answer. You see that you're down, it's up to you to try and finish. No surprises in the end.Open scoring.
Also put up a finish bonus that decreases with each round.
"Damage" is a gray area because in a lot of cases, especially the fight you're talking about, 1 strike opened that cut.... anything that landed on TJ after just made it bleed again. If you focus on a cut that's going to open every time a strike is landed on it, you're going to continuiously think a guy is taking big damage, when he really isn't.So in a fight what comes priority? Damage or cage/ring control?
Because by answering that question, an answer to who really won the fight between TJ and Sandhagen also comes forth into the spotlight.
It’s not about a bad attention span, it’s just the way the human brain works. It’s a known phenomenonHonestly that's just sad IMO. Should be taking notes then if you're attention span is that bad.
Fire all the current judges and start over.
Eliminate politics from the hiring of new judges.
Eliminate the 10 point must system-this isn't anything like boxing.
...of course none of this will happen, because the UFC is happy with the way things are now.
First off, rewatch these fights. The maverick and Barber fight was far from the worst decision ive seen. Round one granted was for sure maverick. After that its anybodys guess who won that fight. I saw it going either way. For the Dillashaw/Sandhaggen fight, the judges scored it how I saw it. Granted TJ got lit up and cut that second round. Other than that he did more. Sure he didnt show as much damage but without that cut, TJ would have been in the same boat. TJ pressed the action 95% of the fight and had Sandhagen in more comprisable positions. I dont think these decisions were clear cut robberies, ive seen much worse from the judges.

Francis knows the judge's verdict, should it reach a decision.Fair play to big Frank for bringing this up when he's one of the last dudes that needs to worry about what the judges are up to.
I agree, 10 point must system isn't good for MMA.Judge the fight as a whole. 10 point must system should have staying in boxing. Pride had the right idea. Let the judges write a summary to explain how they got to their decision to limit corruption and to prove they know what to look for when scoring a fight.
5 corrupt dumb-dumbs instead of 3 does not help at all. As long as you put humans in charge, you will always get mistakes, dishonesty and inconsistencies.5 judges would help instead of 3.
MMA should recycle itself, make a new scoring system shouldn't privilege fighters who don't seriously hurt the other guy.I agree, 10 point must system isn't good for MMA.
Because if you don't finish him in round 5 you get no bonusI don't think finish bonuses that decrease with each round make a ton of sense. why risk a finish in round 5 for significantly less reward? I don't see the benefit of that change
Maybe both. I don't think it would hurt except maybe injecting a bunch of new judges...which could be good or bad
