[@KyleJustRuns]

Have you ever watched Khabib v. Tibau since it aired? Khabib won that fight handily. The only reason anyone talks about that fight is bc Khabib was supposed to run through Tibau, but Tibau did a fantastic job with his takedown defense. It was so impressive that someone could stop Khabib’s takedowns that it skewed people into thinking it was a close fight; even a robbery. Tibau was rendered defensive the entire fight. He just didn’t get finished so we act like it was some kind of robbery; it wasn’t. JBJ though? He definitely lost that fight against Reyes 🤷‍♂️

[@JS16016]

I was actually in San Antonio for the Sandhagen-Vera fight. It was my first UFC event and Cory put on a show. When the first scorecard was read I kid you not everyone around me erupted into laughter. It was just so ridiculous how anyone could see the fight for Vera

[@RickChavo]

Apparently the title implications of the Sandhagen/Chito fight weren’t that significant. After getting 50-45’d, Chito got booked to fight up the rankings against Cejudo while Sandman was booked to fight way down the rankings against Umar. Now Chito beats Munhoz and is most likely getting the next title shot over Sandhagen and Merab lmao

[@redbill7154]

Feel like Sandhagen/Vera was supposed to be an exciting standup war when the matchmakers were making it, but ended up being super boring because Corey started using a control based, wrestling-centered gameplan against other strikers. Not that I don't appreciate Corey's skill in multiple areas. Just think that the wins were slow and unimpressive to a large portion of viewers, and that may have set Corey back in regards to a title shot. All speculation though.

[@FuntClaps101]

[@redbill7154]

@@FuntClaps101 I could see Corey vs Sean being super exciting for fans if Corey goes into it with a game plan that isn't centered around holding him down. He was getting booed during the Font fight, and despite having a good reason for that gameplan, it doesn't earn him fans. Fans and momentum both help a fighter push for that title shot. Chito beating O'Malley in the past/their resulting rivalry is definitely the main reason though. You're right about that.

[@kingt0295]

@@redbill7154the Vera fight he didn’t wrestle much. He did the first round and the other 4 rounds were almost exclusively striking it was boring bc Chito froze and threw almost nothing bc his slow making reads style doesn’t work on a guy that has a chin and a dynamic striking style that he can’t figure out

[@RickChavo]

@@redbill7154 If anyone found that fight boring, it is entirely Chito’s fault. Corey didn’t go into the fight with a control based strategy and to suggest he did is disingenuous. The only grappling heavy round from Corey was the first one which was to establish the threat of the takedown early and he did a lot of ground and pound. Most of the fight he was striking and outclassing him on the feet. Chito had no answer for Cory’s style and caused him to freeze up the whole fight

[@reptaiden]

I believe it was on Rogan’s podcast sandhagen said that the judge that said chito won apparently had an altercation with him one time when they were coaching opposing fighters a while back. He wasn’t accusing him of anything but he just thought it was a weird coincidence

[@christianframe9788]

I haven't finished this video yet, but if this fight isn't here, I'd be very surprised

[@nathancannon1470]

Actually the judge also refs and what (allegedly) happened was on a regional fight that sandhagen was coaching on, an opponent had a rear naked choke under sandhagen’s fighter’s chin but it wasn’t sinking in. Both the fighter and Sandhagen were saying he was good but because it looked bad, he stopped the fight. After that a verbal altercation obviously followed. This is what I was told (I train at Sandhagen’s gym)

Change scoring to 0-3 instead of mandatory 10-9/8. Rounds where nothing happens both get 0 points. Close back and forth but one did better 2-1, and for clean sweep of a round 3-0. If someone gets a takedown but does close to no damage but held the guy down 1-0

After last night's scoring this video needs updated... Js #UFC310

[@sjtimmer7]

Do what they do in judo. Score individual actions. Put a number on a strike(light, medium, heavy, knockdown, KO), put a number on a takedown(easy takedown, difficult to complete takedown), and of course the submissions. Threatening someone by holding them in a choke for a few minutes is quite some points, but not so much that they got the finish. We already have traditions and rules like in judo, since we continue on the ground after a takedown or knockdown. Let's use their pointing system. You need to earn points, not work just hard enough to get the 10-9. And this way, we lose the whole judging per round.

[@tylergrammer5022]

I get that strikes and damage should matter more, but people act like ground control just doesnt matter at all now, its goofy. and it quite literally is control. i dont see how holding someone down who wants to get up is considered anything else but control.

29 minutes of control time in a 25 minute fight is pretty wild

[@CYMotorsport]

3:01 what do you mean “do with that what you will” ? He’s right. Effective grappling carries the exact same priority and weight as effective striking. Effective striking has overt, immediate signs people can immediately identify. Effective grappling does not. What’s subjective about the literally fully explained definitions of the terms Bellator uses to judge ? I think ppl need to crack open the rules more . There’s an inherent bias for striking fans can’t seem to accept but the rules are NOT positioned like that. There’s no debating that fact. Now you can debate HIS decision on this one fight but you made no valid argument to do so. You implied it was boring. That’s kind of the point. Notice I never said effective grappling is the same thing as control time but it’s statistically likely to lead to effective grappling. With such dominant control time, statistically it’s also likely one fighter was engaging the tier 1 prooorty 1 of the judges available scoring criteria and one was not given grappling is considerably more zero-sum that striking is. This is not all that hard or controversial. Once ppl accept the rules aren’t set up to favor striking as most mentally implicitly already favor, it becomes a lot more simple.

[@MrBellsa61]

Doug Crosby saying that effective grappling isn't given enough weight is absolutely WILD to me. If anything grappling is overvalued for the impact it has. "Effective grappling" should involve chasing submissions or throwing strikes. With how effective people are off their backs in MMA, control is simply not enough.

[@FightXScience-wh6kx]

That's EXACTLY what determines effective grappling right now under the rule set. It's grappling that leads to GnP or sub attempts.

[@jessepaiz6356]

Effective grappling is actually undervalued in that most people think that the scoring critera is damage triumphs all when, it's essentially impact of striking (effective striking) plus the impactfullnes of executed grappling moves (effective grappling) with no favor put inherently to either category. It's just merely the act of laying on someone has no scoring value beyond preventing your opponent from doing anything. The takedown itself still has a decent amount of scoring value.
