The Problem with MMA Judges

Without stealing too much thunder from the original article, I would like to add to it that I feel like the current problems that we have had with MMA judging is a very subjective issue. In the 3 fights that are most disputed in recent history, I feel that I am usually on the side of controversy. Shogun vs. Machida, I personally thought Machida out scored Shogun and won the fight fairly. Turn off the sound so Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogans one-sided commentary doesn't poison your mind and I feel that you will come to the same conclusion. Vera vs. Couture, I'm really not sure where the controversy is at all. Randy controlled the tempo of the fight, he stagnated Vera for three rounds, and thats all that matters. Yes, Vera hurt Randy a few times but that does not mean he out-scored him. As for Griffin vs. Ortiz, I do feel that Tito won that fight. In my opinion, UFC will always do something to ensure that Forrest Griffin is always available for a fight, however dumb the match-up may be.

So, here's the article from Sherdog.com:
