Guess what? You don't count the missed against a fighter.The unified rules only score aggression, damage, strikes landed, and dominant positions.And TJ won in all these areas. Missed shots absolutely meant nothing in the fight.Stupid and ignorant Dom fans need to stop with that narrative.
1.Effective Defense Removed as a criteria:
Effective Defense will no longer be considered a requirement for the following reasons:
1. The committee believes that offensive actions should be the only criteria used to score MMA matches. Offensive fighters are fighters which carry the fight and push the action, and make the fight happen.
2. Defense is its own reward. A fighter who chooses to avoid using defensive actions will invariably suffer the consequences. For example if a fighter decides that they do not want to block or avoid a strike, protect themselves from a submission, or avoid a throw or takedown then they will suffer the results of those offensive actions being used against them. The only role defensive action plays is to keep a fighter in the fight longer so that they can attempt to score using offensive actions.
3. Having two fighters avoid offensive actions and rely solely on defense goes against the basic primary consideration of any combative sport: To score using offense.
