News Ngannou speaks out against incompetent judges

[textwarrior]

Maybe be judged by an app you can download for $ 9.99.

Maybe the 10-8 and 10-9 is too broad in the rules and we need more specifics.

I think part of the problem is how much is going on at one moment in time. To catch all the details to make it fair some AI system would have to do it. Most of the time it will probably not need such a critique but when fights are so close it becomes complicated in MMA.

5 judges would help instead of 3.

As long as 3 of them are Sal D'Amato, Cecil Peoples and Adalaide Byrd we should be good.

It was easy in pride because they looked at damage and finishing attempts (i.e. knockdowns, rocking your opponent or close submission attempts).

"Ninja" Rua reckons it wasn't that easy.

"Rampage" Jackson agrees with you, though.

To his credit, even Rampage thought he lost that fight.

Not unless AI strike scoring was reliable, which it definitely isn't from any broadcast I've ever seen.

True. If the way the Weasel does his strike count tally with his light, medium, heavy strike landed method, if that can be implemented into AI with some thermal detection to check if the strike is thrown lighter or heavier detecting the amount of exertion that was thrown/landed. We are many years away from that ever happening.

Rampage said he lost that fight and pride of course had robberies. We're not talking about foolproof solutions but i do prefer that judging criteria.

They also look at this in the Unified Rules. So not sure there is any way around the recency bias issue short of scoring by rounds.

People act like Pride never had bad decisions or bad fights haha.
