Under Pride Rules, would Jones vs Reyes be controversial?

[Rear Naked Toke]

Under Pride rules I would have scored it for Jones. Under the current UFC rules, I scored it for Reyes. Under the old UFC rules, which the Texas Commission used, I think it was a toss up.

This exactly.

We have a natural for champs and strong finisher.

Let's look at some controversial Decision

Gsp vs Hendricks
Jones vs Santos
Jones vs Reyes
Jones vs Gus
Condit vs Lawler
Hendricks vs Lawler
Romero 2 vs Whittaker
Barbosa vs Felder 2
Romero Vs Costas


In all of thoses the winner took the last round.

The lasting image you have of thoses fight is the last round

Are score cards filled out that way? If not, is that just a coincidence?

Here's my take on it....Since pride judged fights based on the whole fight and not by each round, I think jones would have won, without there being any controversy...simply by how the fight ended....with jones winning the last 2 rounds...with reyes going back constantly, and jones constantly on him. I think the last 10 minutes has a much larger impact on the decision, than the first half.

With a 10 minute first round, Reyes might have gotten the TKO.

But to answer your question, no. Reyes dominated the majority of the fight and Jones's take downs would have counted for nothing since Reyes got right up, every time, while taking no damage.

Under old Pancrase rules it would have been a draw.
Under Quintet Ultra rules both fighters would have lost and the guys of their corner should have enter the octagon to face each other.

Pride Scoring System:

1. The effort made to finish the fight via KO or sub - Reyes
2. Damage given to the opponent - Reyes
3. Standing combinations and ground control - Reyes
4. Takedowns and takedown defense - both
5. Aggressiveness - Reyes

Under pride rules there's a very good argument to make for Jones winning a decision

When scoring it round by round, the only argument is "he walked forward more"

gotten a tko? at no point during that fight, was jones hurt in the slightest...he got hit with a big uppercut and wasn't even fazed...jon has a great chin and wasn't in anyway close to being stopped.

What about under original Sublime Directory porn rules from ancient Internet?
