Wasn't 1st r. Mousasi.Schlemenko 10-8?

[Italianissimo]

If anyone can help on the judgement of the first round.
Mousasi was for about 4 minutes on the back of Schlemenko, going very close to choke him out.
He dominated the whole ground game in the first. And the 1st was just grappling (Mousasi took the Russian down a couple of times)

The round where Shlemenko landed his strike that did the most damage and was never in deep trouble with the choke since he has no neck? 10-8 for sure

 

[countswagula]

I think it was, and I also think the third was a 10-8 for Shlemenko.

You mean other than when Shlemenko blinded Mousasi for the rest of the fight? And Shlemenko also nearly submitted Mousasi with a guillotine.

Fighters aren't even awarded 10-8 rounds for beating the piss out of their opponents most of the time, and you think Mousasi should have been given one for a bunch of failed chokeholds?

That wasn't fucking close to being a 10-8 for Mousasi.

Well hohlhagen scored it 10-8 according to mmajunkie

 

[Italianissimo]

Going near to choke your opponent for about 3 minutes and a half (with 2 td's secured) is not worthy a 10-8 score?
The system is awarding the strikers. If in the same situation Mousasi was Gnp'ing his opponent for the same amount of time it would have been 10-8 110%

I completely agree

 

[UhHuhSure]

nah The Storm neutralized his sub attempts. Dominant round for Mousasi but not a blow out. Damage inflicted goes to Schlemko also.

 

[Vegeta]

It was a 10-8 round.
Mousasi 29-27

 

[Kinger85]

Shlemenko won the third round just as big as Mousasi won the first.

 

[imbossing]

No but moose won't first and second round

 

[Italianissimo]

Not easy to see damage when working for a choke. But you are very close to win

Nope.

A 10-8 score means you dominated the round. Shlemenko pulled off a better submission attempt than any of Mousasi's chokeholds and got the better of Mousasi in every striking exchange. I don't know how anyone can think a round where a fighter came out of it permanently blinded for the rest of the fight can be a 10-8 round for them.

Good, the scoring system should favor striking. The ruleset of MMA is already skewed in favor of grappling with the nonsense rules in place in regards to striking. Ground and pounding your opponent for an entire round is more impressive than attempting and failing to submit your opponent for an entire round.

And it bears repeating that Shlemenko's guillotine was closer to a submission than any of Mousasi's chokeholds. So he didn't even dominate in that regard.

No matter how you want to score it Shlemenko won the fight and Mousasi was gifted a bullshit decision win.

Sonnen ground and pounded A. Silva for a bit less than 5 rounds. At 1 minute from the end he was triangled.

How can you say that when it's supposed to be a FIGHT, and yet they start back on their feet at the beginning of every round even if they ended the previous round on the ground.

The fact that they even have rounds is benefit to striker.

Grapplers can't take their time on the ground nowadays in MMA, strikers can...it's not like the ref is gonna stop them if not enough action and ask them to lay down.
