They give to much emphasis on ground and pound and made it impossible to earn any points for effectively defending and fighting from the bottom position. Cerrone/Henderson is the latest victim of this. While Henderson has the heart (and the balls) of a lion getting trapped in Cerrone's submission holds and not tapping out, Cerrone lost the match because 1.) Cerrone was on the ground and 2.) Even though Cerrone had Henderson dead to rights with all the attmpts, because Henderson didn't tap, it rendered the attempts void and awarded the points to Henderson just for being "the top guy"at the time.

      And earlier example would be Virissimo/Hughes. Renato was owning Hughes in every way as a BJJ artist. But because he did so, he lost the match simply because he choose to fight from the bottom. To add insult to injury, two of the judges of the fight gave Hughes a perfect score card.



      So you have a lot of natural grapplers dumping half their game to focus more and more the standing aspect. While some do prevail, a whole lot of other guys look really sloppy standing and trading and not wanting to risk the takedown unless they know they can really nail it.

      The Rua/Machida decision furthered screwed up matters so now, fighters don't know what the judges want. Don't be surprised if title or contention matches start turning into point sparing. Fighters want to fight, but they're in no way going to go balls out. They don't want to blow opportunities because one judge sees back control as spooning.
      Exactly, Dana White claims this is "real" fighting but with the whacked out scoring MMA has just evolved into stand up fighters swinging wildly trying to get the highlight reel knockouts.

      Again, I know I'am no MMA expert but even i can tell you that running at the other fighter swinging wildly is a horrible approach in both MMA and boxing. Yet countless UFC cards I watch these supposed pros are constantly doing it and just getting knocked out.

        How is GSP's chin none existent? This is the most ridiculous argument ever.

        The UFC doesn't make fighters fight like they do.

        Stop being an idiot.

          Dude got dropped by Matt Serra homie, his other assets make up for it though.

            Yeah and an accumulation of a thousand ****ing punches. How does that constitute a bad chin? And even then he wasn't knocked out.

            I'm sorry but I fail to see how that means he has a bad chin.

            yeah, damn him for fighting with his strengths!!!!!

            Even though he's finished 3 of his last 6 fights. Man he's so lame and boring...

              Take it from someone who's been around the sport for quite a while, on the grand scale of combat sports, there are almost no MMA fighters with good striking chins.

                That's not what I asked. How does an accumulation of punches that lead to a knockdown, followed by ground and pound while still maintaining consciousness enough to tap, constitute a bad chin?

                If anything his chin terribly underrated.

                  Was/Is GSP mentally weak? Possibly

                  But does he have a bad chin, Absolutely not

                      Because we all know that boxers ALWAYS fight for the fans entertainment.
