chaleski posted:Yeah that's my thought, a few minutes of top control at the end of a few rounds winning a title fight seems wrong I'm interested to see stats on how many strikes Cejudo landed from the top position. It seems less like Cejudo beat him, and more like DJ didn't do enough damage in the time he had on the feet to overcome the way judges score takedowns.

I could see either man winning this fight personally. My initial reaction was Henry but I'm gonna watch it again, at the very least he backed up that he got better and proved he belonged in the cage with Mighty Mouse when so many other guys didn't

Marching Powder posted:the judging recently has been shocking to me personally. it used to be that even if i didn't agree, i could sort of see where they're coming from. lately though it just seems that two of the three judges are not watching the same fight as me and it's happening with astounding regularity. Well they aren't watching the same fight as you. You're watching the camera angles that the production truck chooses and hearing the microphones set up around the octagon. I'm not trying to be dismissive, but it's a totally different experience than any of the judges at ringside.

Mighty Mouse won 1-3, and possibly 5 imo.

It seems like it's wrestlers world in MMA right now because you can hit a takedown get very little control and do almost no damage and win rounds.

Really need to see all those takedowns and how impactful they are. I think it's just judges weighing a takedown way more even if nothing really comes from it. I have Mighty Mouse winning it but it could go both ways.

I think it's just judges weighing a takedown way more even if nothing really comes from it. I think ti's the takedowns plus that Mighty Mouse wasn't doing a lot of visually notable offense--lots of leg kicks, not a lot of punches, judges tend to get bored and not give a poo poo. "He was moving forward more" is a thing judges have cited as rationale for their decisions. I had MM winning, but I don't think Cejudo's an unconscionable call. Hell of a fight.

Look at how personally he took the Cruz fight despite having no history of his own with the guy

It really says a lot about the state of judging where we have a grey centre area where we say "The wrong guy got his hand raised but it was only medium wrong."

"He was moving forward more" is a thing judges have cited as rationale for their decisions. Yeah, I think both guys landed decent punches but I'm not sure Cejudo landed a single decent kick. DJ landed a nice headkick that Cejudo seemed to shrug off, a few very hard body kicks, and lots and lots of leg kicks. He never put Cejudo on rubber legs, but you might assume that when Cejudo switched to southpaw it was because a leg kick had scored hard, and he was doing that a lot.
