I'm new to watching MMA and so not up to speed on the judging criteria, but based on the decision in this match I've concluded that a fighter is able to score points by using their face to deflect blows from their opponent. In any case, the fans certainly got their money's worth from the level of heart and grit displayed by these two fighters.

@kellyyoung61372 жыл бұрын
@@TonyJBroni Hackett lost the first round 10 -8 i understand that. But according to the first judge she won the 2nd and 3rd rounds 10-8 10-8 for a 28 -26 win. So how did the second and third judge's not have 10-8 for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. The last 2 judges were the only thing unprofessional about this fight. Even so the only fair way a fight should end up a draw is if all 3 judges call it a draw or 1 judges picks fighter A and 1 picks fighter B and the 3rd calls it a draw. In my mind if 1 judge picks fighter A and 2 call it a draw fighter A should be the winner. Because she had at least 1 judge declare her as the winner while fighter B had no judge declare her the winner.

Hackett lost round one to 2 submission attempts, being on the ground for most of it plus the point deduction for multiple cage crabs means a 10-8 round to Zeman, Hackett dominated the following 2 rounds 10-9 and 10-9 so a total of 28-28 Draw. Judges scored properly. If it was a 5 round fight Hackett would have definitely won. Unfortunate but lack of MMA experience tells with the cage grabs, lesson learned.
