You have to beat the champ. You don't get the belt with a tie. It's always been that way.

I feel like the judges should be able to note certain points of the fight (like press a button) so that when the fight is over, they can go back to those moments and look at it under replay/slow mo.The funny thing is this is MMA yet they dont score any of gimp leg Santos kick damage. Jones leg was damaged badly you could see the damage in the inner leg. I wonder if Jones took a pain killer they give him so many exemptions let him test positive multiple times as well.
it seems the judges scored everytime Santos wobbled from misstepping on his hurt leg and scored that for jones
Santos hurt his leg by stepping on it awkwardly while moving, yet Im pretty sure these dumb ass judges were scoring everytime he fell down or wobbled misstepping for Jones
Bones was never rocked.Santos beat Jones worse than Hendricks beat GSP.
So that one fight cancels out all the other close title matches that always go to the title holder?Rampage/Forrest
What rounds did you give to jones and why?
Thought Santos took 1,2,5
Santos 1, 2, 4. 3 and 5 were very close too.
Jones defintely lost. Jones vs Gus 1 was closer fight than Santos vs Jones.
Pretty clear Santos was outstruck (technique wise) despite him throwing more strikes, though he was throwing 5-8 punch combos to get his back off the cage that never actually connected. The only round I gave to Santos was the 1st and he eeked that out because Jones didn't pressure as hard. You could potentially make an argument for the 5th going to Santos as well because Jones was quite lack luster, but you could see him rolling all of Santos shots off his arms, constantly kept octagon control, Santos not only was immobolized from checked kicks, but couldn't get his back off the cage, actually tripping a few times on that little indent where the cage and canvas meet.
Not to mention, Santos was dropped twice in the fight and landed less than a handful of significant strikes. Despite a terrible output from Jones, it was a pretty obvious 49-46 but I would also accept 48-47. If Jones actually tried he could of finished that fight by round 3 but yet again we see him playing an extremely safe fight.
I actually REALLY dislike Jones, and would like nothing more than that PED using fuckstick to lose his belt, but Dana was actually right, anyone who saw that as a win for Santos is blind. I think most people expect Jones to go out there and dominate his opponents so when he fights like he did last night and doesn't finish a guy like Santos who isn't a big name, people discredit what Jon actually did with the minimal amount of strikes he threw.
agree.yeah very strange
I was laughing and saying they will give the fight to Jones every time Santos wobbled or fell from his gimp knee. That knee was hurt but Jones wasnt hitting it at the time he fell, yet they gave credit to Jones even when Santos slipped on the logo sticker
its pathetic, Santos could have punched himself in the face and they will score it for jones
Jones did nothing but pose, with his hands out stretched he didn't try, when it comes down to this type of fight you must give the rounds to the guy actually TRYING to win, not the guy playing defense with low punch output.
