Usman - Chimaev Media Scores

So Bruno Silva can have nearly 10 minutes control time on top of Shara and lose 30-27 but Khamzat can take Usman's back, get slammed straight onto his face and break his wrist and still get a 10-8. Makes sense.

Wtf is that 28-27 score
 
Honestly this fight is interesting. All 3 rounds are debatable for scoring.

round one is either 10-8 or 10-9 chimaev

round two is 10-9 for either fighter

round three is 10-9 for either fighter

technically it’s a major long shot for Usman to be scored the winner in this fight
 
Lets just admit MMA media is pretty bottom of the barrel compared to other sports. That said, if you stick enough scores together, they generally get it right. Sometimes they are weirdos and want to stand out so choose wild scores and you have to ignore the outliers.

Burns fight was more debatable in my opinion. Usman was too content to stay on cruise control besides occasional moments he decided to brawl, which the results were pretty equal. It was typical fight where 1 round a fighter clearly dominates, and the other 2 rounds are close. Clearly Khamzat takes it.
 
Can you really give a 10-8 for laying and praying an entire round? Guess it comes down to that. Second was close, Usman landed a few strikes and Khamzat got a late takedown. Third was close as well, but Usman landed more meaningful strikes. I say no way on 30-26, but could see 30-27 or 29-28 for Khamzat. If you judge the fight as a whole, then Khamzat wins because of the 1st, but with the round by round scoring, you can make a case for a draw or even give the last rounds to Usman.

Yup. I had it 28-28 but I'm also shaky on whether round 1 was a 10-8 or not. So a draw or 29-28 Usman.

How on earth could it not be a 10-8 round? Khamzat dominated that round and Usman had no offense.

Along with other submission attempts and 61 strikes as well while Usman was doing nothing but defending submissions and his face.

Sherdog not being consistent should not surprise anybody at this point.

When Sterling outgrappled Yan and had a bunch of control time the narrative here was "damage over everything and Sterling was just holding, Yan was robbed." Even though Sterling also outstruck him as well.

Then when Yan had a few takedowns he did nothing with against O'Malley Sherdog flipped the script and all of a sudden it was "Yan had the control time! He landed a takedown".

I can't justify a 10-8 in a round where there was no damage. In fact, Usman did more damage in round one when he slammed Khamzat and broke or fractured his wrist.

That's insane. Usman did the desperation slam because he was about to go to sleep otherwise. Also lol at ignoring the punches Khamzat landed.

Did his face even touch the canvas? Every replay I saw looked like zero contact was made
 
I had it as a draw, but by no means is that much of an Obvious 10-8 first round.

It was 5 minutes of control, but no damage was done and Usman was not in danger of being finished. In fact he got a slam on Khamzat as well, which apparently caused Khamzat the hand injury right? That's probably the most damage done in the round.


I had Usman winning rounds 2 and 3. Khamzat winning the first round 10-8 since it was a shutdown.

But, if you had it 10-9 based on grappling control but no damage done... then Usman wins the fight 2 rounds to 1.
 
I had it 28-28 but you could argue 29-28 Khamzat. There’s zero argument for 29-28 Usman.

First round was a 10-8 due to dominance and duration. I thought Usman had the more significant impact in 2 and 3. Khamzat did get the takedown in 3 but didn’t do anything with it. It’s really about round 3. Usman looked fresher and landed the most impactful shots.

Exactly.

One fight they don't score 'control' at all.
Another fight they give a 10-8 for control in a round where the other fighter did the most damage.. a la slam which caused an injury.

No consistency in Abu Dubious
