And thats just the striking!!! He also got 2 take downs... maybe 3 and 2 close sub attempts! BAHHHH!!!!

Damn

Sucks but let's not forget the most important fact of all. NEVER LEAVE IT IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDGES.

But really should fighters have to worry about it going to a judges decision so much? With stats like this you would think it was an easy decision. But for some reason all the judges seem to score with a completely separate scoring system....

I see what you're saying, but some fighters seem to go to the bell so damn much, and as much as I like the guy, Frankie is one of them. If you can't beat your opponent in a 25 minute period then you run the risk of getting a bad call.

I know that sounds bitter...and quite frankly it is, these guys are so afraid to get knocked out it's turning into watching a point filled boxing match...dance dance jab, dance dance jab

100 times this ^^^.

The problem with striking stats is they weight every single strike within a certain category equally. Remember when compustrike verified that Conditt essentially beat Diaz by essentially out leg jabbing him.

Even still, this site scores this bout 48-48 in a 10 point must system... which I would argue is a coin flip.

For me, I am in favor of super horrible judges as I would like to think this would make fighters take some more risks to finish a fight. I have 0 interest in watching guys spar for 25 minutes.

Oh don't get me wrong... I don't think there is a single one of us who likes to watch point fights... aside from Bisping fans.... I just wish they had an easy solution to make guys go out there and engage! Stocks idea is solid IMO and it only makes sense from a business stand point. The guys that are exciting and would rather go out on their shields than earn a decision victory earn the biz more $$$ and so they should be payed more. Not just the win or KO bonus, but thats at least a start, they just need to carry it a little beyond and finish it.
