I seen it a hundred times it's pretty common method of escape actually.

The punch (Heavy Strike) that the Weasle said "wobbled" Usman in the third didn't even land on Usmans chin, it was a chest punch. Does Weasle think Usman was wobbled by a chest punch? The punch worked more like a push because Usman was stepping in and his foot wasn't planted so the impact forced him to adjust his feet creating a movement that looked slightly like a wobble. .

Its' not strange as the weasel points out its hard to tell which punches landed even from the inside octagon camera angle. Judges unfortunately are only able to see what they can from their own angle of view so from their perspective they have to try and judge if a strike landed or not which is why in the rules it says that a significant strike is determined by the reaction of the fighter after it lands. Did the head snap in the direction of the punch landing? The weasel broke it down from his perspective as an amateur analyst.

The real question is, if it's very very close as you say, why isn't the round scored as a draw?

I would much rather have more draws happening than false and undeserving winners but i understand the ufc doesn't like draws.

@justinklenk

7 ай бұрын

But I think that, although entire fights can be scored as a draw, the rules prohibit any individual, single round to be ruled a draw/even. ("Must-win" scoring.) It makes things real tough, when rounds are added up, IF a judge is forced to lean one fighter's way on an individual round which LATER actually goes against the true cumulative ARC of a given fight. If a judge then wishes he could just go back and change his earlier-round score, it's actually too late at that point. So having rounds at all, vs one uninterrupted fight, can and therefore will sometimes give us this unresolvable problem that we know hurts more than helps.

That's not how it works and judging criteria is not based off what the ufc doesn't like. The unified rules of MMA are agreed upon by all mma organizations in which the UFC is not involved in the rule making and even Dana has openly criticized 10-8 rounds when they gave one to Jan when he fought Izzy. It's also not stupid since the last change to the rules was specifically designed to not allow fights where a fighter just spends time stalling on top of an opponent not attempting chokes or striking very little now the ref has to stop the position and reset the fighters standing a lot sooner than before. The rules are designed to encourage the fighters to do more than just take a fighter down which before 3 years ago, a takedown was scored even if there was no striking but not anymore since 2019. Close fights still happen even when the rules for scoring the fight become more detailed. Also the bigger shot trumping volume of lesser strikes was made to avoid fights where a fighter is trying to win off points by barely tapping their opponents which some fighters actually did way back in the mid 2000s. People want to see real fights not someone barely making contact with a strike. I'm not saying that's what happened in this fight but the judging criteria is designed to avoid the possibility of this scenario which again is not stupid for this reason. If the judging criteria was volume of lighter strikes trumped lower volume more impactful strikes, we would see fighters cheat the system by again barely tapping their opponent more times while the other guy lands a lot less but lands bigger strikes.

Agreed. Round two should have been a draw. And if anyone gave round one a 10-9, even tho it was utter domination from pillar to post and Usman didn't even land a punch, then how can round 2 be a 10-9 for Usman? That is a huge problem with the ten pt must system and scoring by rounds. On a scale of 1-10,.Rd 1 was about a 9 in terms of domination, Rd 2 about a 1 for Khamzat or Usman (take your pick), and rd 3 about a 3 for Khamzat owing to his takedown, sub attempts and ring generalship. I personally think they should just score a fight as a whole for this very reason. Score it like we intuitively score school yard fights,.where everyone leaves knowing the winner.

People who say it's a robbery, but also claim it should be a DRAW, are why MMA fans are among the dumbest fans of any sport

The only thing a draw about that fight was the second round....Because thats what Khamzat chose, to take a breather anf okay party cakes on the feet and then finish the third strong. That was a Khamzat clinic. Who the heck would want to see it again with so many other fights? It was a clear 30-37 or 30-36, take your pick. Bring on the title for Khamzat, dude should have fought for it ages ago and whether it be luck or poor management still has not. Time goes by fast in this game and you have to strike whole the iron is hot. At this rate Khamzat will have to fight Bo Nickal for a title eliminator and lose 💀 Both guys will steam roll every middleweight as no one can wrestle with them, unless they get caught with something freaky. It's gonna be like DC and Jones ruling LHW all over again where no one can touch them.

@@mikerelva6915 nah sorry I have to disagree. There is no world where that fight is scored all rounds for Khamzat that is just plain wrong. Calling it a clinic is also a stretch considering the only clear round for Khamzat was the first. As for him challenging for the belt next fight doesn't make any sense either. Yes Dana said the winner would fight Strickland but that is just Dana trying to make Khamzat a champion. Khamzat hasn't beaten a single contender at Middleweight. If the Usman fight was at Welterweight and he won then he would deserve a title shot against Leon, but not at Middleweight that just doesn't make any sense. Plus there are more deserving people such as DDP and possibly Cannonier. If anything rebook the Costa fight and if Khamzat wins give him a shot at gold

This is a good breakdown, and you raise some good points, particularly about Chimaev's effective grappling in the third (which I hadn't really considered). But ultimately I think Usman did the more consistent damage in the third round. You make a lot of excuses about Chimaev leaning out of punches or not being that worried about some, but give no benefit of the doubt to Usman in similar instances. I think it's easier to argue for Usman winning that round than Chimaev, and it should have been a draw, which is actually a better indication of the overall fight.

yeah I agree. I think that Usman landed the cleaner and more consistent strikes but some of the damage that khamzat did was purely due to Usman's inability to take a good strike because of the deteriorating chin. Khamzat's executionn of his boxing technque is good but he throws them, just hoping they land. His lack of ability to pick up habits and read his opponent is probably was seperates him from the truly good strikers and boxers.

😂😂 you're falling off my guy.. your assessment here was bad.. Usman gets a .5 for landing the hardest punch of the fight.. but khamzat gets a whole point for a jab Usman wasnt wobbled by

"Objectively" is a stretch. Khamzat had his knees buckle (and he has no knee issues) for just a moment from one of those "medium" strikes. You can also argue that the jab Usman was hit with was a medium strike. It looks like Usmans knees were still recovering from his own kick that he fell down from a from a few seconds prior. (Not to mention that he was in a bad stance and was off balance). It's subjective at the end of the day though.
