Why on earth do takedowns in and of themselves score big on the judges scorecards? its not like they actually do anything what so ever by themselves?!
How about scoring whats actually done from getting that takedown??
So many bullshit strategies of simply grabbing and holding on to a fighter for 3 rounds or more, without doing any damage what so ever, or coming close to finishing at all. Yet this somehow means you won the fight? On the contrary i think it should count negatively on the scorecards if a **** does this kind of thing, because it basically means you are avoiding a fight, which is the exact opposite of what you came to do, and what we paid to see?
Kennedy vs Bisping case and point. Kennedy didnt even scratch bispings face? I mean there are countless examples of this non-fighting leading to idiotic victories. Has nothing to do with fighting, its actually the exact opposite of fighting.

Ps. I dont just want to see blood, in fact i dont like it when fighters bleed at all, i like technically beautiful matches, but technically beautiful does not equal avoidance, and should not. Technical superiority shold show in strikes landed, submission attempts, etc.
