I broke it down by grappling only rules in a bunch of other threads. MM won easily by IBJJF and ADCC. The stand up was basically non existent.
More importantly just beacuse all of these guys gave the fight to torres does not make it right. I posted the rules, i explained why I felt it was so close that either decision could be argued. The first us definitely Torres, but how in the hell can we give Torres the second(as all the sherdog pbp guys did. He had 0 actual sweeps. He swept to a standup then got taken down. MM passed his guard to side control?
The third is the question. It was clearly very close, but MM had three TDs, was swept to mount, but got passed on top once. Either way you score it, its close. Personally I think 10-10 is the fairest. Although watching it for the first time the last TD kinda gave MM the edge, after the rewatch I felt 10-10 was the best score.
I disagree, he gave up positions, and finishing fights in the second and third are incredibly difficult. The sweat makes subs almost nonexistent, and although he had him on the defensive he did give up postions in the 2nd and 3rd.
For the record, MMA judging the way it is actually gives points for having an active guard. That seems awfully fair when I have never seen that in a BJJ comp. How much better can it get, give more emphasis to the guard so guys are throwing up sloppy attempts to look active becasue its weighted more than before?
Close fight, good fight, 29-28 either guy is acceptable, i prefer 29-29 draw. NO way is it 30-27 imo.
