The simplest solution is going to 5 judges instead of 3. You can't expect the judges to be interviewed and answer for every fight they judge. In fact, the score card itself is their answer to any question. 5 judges.

I think they should have a second set of judges or support for judges reviewing instant replays/taking very close looks at sequences to try to see illegal strikes, etc. and updating the judges/ref real-time once they find out what happened (in case something was missed by ringside judges or ref like an illegal low blow or knee to the head while down, or headbutt)

They just need to add one more judge who doesn’t do any scoring but reviews the score cards before they announce the decision. He can score the bout himself “senior judge” and then refer back to the other three and find out which judge was way far off

We need to push for these judges to simply have to show up at the post fight press conference that we already have in place after every UFC event. Not only to hold them accountable for their sh*tty decisions, but to actually give them an opportunity to explain their points of view too. Furthermore though, the scoring system itself is clearly not working if it is possible for 3 judges to see totally different things. We need an accurate, robust scoring system that literally gets the decisions factually correct - rather than a feelings based system.

I have been saying this for years. A 10 point system is pointless if no one ever scored below 5 points for a round, it may as well be a 5 point system. If they start scoring a clear beatdown round as 10-1,10-2 etc, everything would make more sense. The fighter who got smashed cannot just eek out 2 rounds and get a draw because judges only scored the beatdown 10-8. Draw rounds need to be more common too. Rose vs Esparza 2 and Ngannou vs Lewis = clear draws, all 10-10 or 0-0 rounds.

Licensed Pro-MMA judge here, and I get it. I get the frustration. One event in Florida, Combate Global, gets broadcasted with Open Scoring. I feel it doesn’t help much sometimes, but sometimes it does. It really depends on the situation and type of fighter fighting. Sometimes a fighter up 2 rounds, goes defensive or cruises the 3rd or just loses that last round. However, if the fighter down 2 rounds does prompt for a more aggressive 3rd round out of that person. So sometimes you just get a bunch of 29-28s lol

A good example of rules and regulations that are inconsistent in other sports, depending on geographical location is the size of a baseball stadium in every different city. I always thought that was an odd standard of the game as it may be easier to hit a home run in one city compared to another based on the walls being different distances from home plate.

New York Rick's thought process on transparency is odd. Transparency is a huge benefit, it educates the public, fighters and couches. If you have a fighter and couch unsure how the scoring system works can lead to a bad game plan between rounds. Plus if judges had to articulate their thought process and fail in the public eye, can lead to butter judging. Then the public wins because we are more aware of the sport we watch and get entertaining stories when a judge fails to explain.

It’s so frustrating when it seems like there are controversial results every other event now in combat sports whether it be boxing or mma and it’s been going on for so long now and maybe it’s bc the UFC is growing rapidly in popularity and it seems like boxing is finally trending upwards in terms of promotions finally working together to make the big fights happen that we are just tuned in more and noticing it more but there has to be an answer these promotions have to be hit where it hurts (their pockets) it seems for there to be change. It seems every other major sport when there was a problem with rulings, fouls etc that effect the game they brought some form of change or reform to fix the issue, whether it be with instant replays, rule changes, challenges etc. idk what the answer besides holding these judges more accountable is maybe some kind of replays of rounds, larger pool of scoring, live scoring, challenges of scorecards, back up judges in case of a controversial decision? Idk

4 judges for each side of the octagon, 32 total. 8 judges score the fight in its totality, 8 by each round, 8 by damage, and 8 review the other 24. Fighter must win at least 16 cards to win. If that doesn’t happen then the crowd gets to vote who won like on American Idol and then we go to sudden death where the crowd favorite gets to use a steel chair in the 6th and final round. If no clear winner (KO, TKO, sub) emerges from that then the two fighters have a 100 yard (or meter if the fight is not in America) dash to determine who slaps first in the final challenge to be the winner. This is the only real way to fix this problem.

Wrestling is borderline stalling. A wresting dominant position should get you at most a 10-9 if you caused more damage from that position, if not you shouldn't be winning rounds by stalling. If they implemented these changes it would fix 99% of the problem and the sport would instantly seem more legitimate.

I think the issue is that the judges aren’t paying enough attention and/or aren’t good at their jobs. Hence why they likely don’t want to be interviewed. They’ll be exposed for not doing their jobs well. The pay is apparently low. You get what you pay for. That’s why the commission probably protects them - because the commission is the one who employs them. To counter Ariel’s point - there may not be anything to learn from them. The entirety of the MMA media are judging the fight correctly.

For the 1,000,457th time, most close fights have a few tie (10-10) rounds and a few that are actually definitive 10-9. If the judges weren’t discouraged from giving out 10-10 scores for close rounds we wouldn’t have all these questionable split decisions that happened bc in so many tie rounds judges have to give a fighter the round bc of the 10-9 MUST system. Too easy🤯🤯

Still amazes me that they don’t score the fight like this after the rounds. 1 - 2/3 Kai 2 - 3/3 Amir 3 - 3/3 amir 4 - 2/3 Kai 5 - 3/3 Kai Kai wins 3 to 2.

Did it ever occur to you, the "judging" is part of the product or show? It is one of the most dramatic parts of any important fight or hell, any fight, holding your breath, waiting for the scores to be revealed. AND, it gives shows like yours something to talk about....

What if they spread the judges evenly around the cage instead of one vantage point so all three see it from different views and don't influence each other

Having fighters judge the fights is obviously a great idea. The only issue with that is the sport is still too new and even the "OG's" are still intertwined at their old gyms. Imagine DC judging a Islam fight? That was an obvious one, but these "old" fighters still have deep roots in their camps because they're all about 40, not 60.

The fundamental issue is that the UFC is being run like a league and governed like boxing. So if you're talking about judging and officiating it More accurate to compare it to boxing. If you're talking pay , benefits, collective bargaining etc. Then you can compare that aspect to the NBA. But to compare the governing and rules aspect to the NBA makes no sense. If the UFC made their own rules and had their own judges then it would be like the NBA.

Former fighters as judges is not the answer. They’re all so biased for and against former teammates and rivals that they have no chance of being objective. This is obvious with the former fighters who are now commentating… but at least their biases don’t impact the scorecards.
