10 UFC Rules That Fighters And Fans Get Wrong All The Time

1. Who Appoints The Judges

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyIqyEshAUE It is very frustrating when two fighters go at it and most people believe that one fighter won but the judges scored it for the other fighter. Once again fans and critics point to the UFC and say they need to appoint better judges to score the fights. It is frustrating when it seems that fights regularly are botched when it comes to scoring. This only motivates fighters even more to follow Dana White's advice and never leave it in the hands of the judges. However, there are just those times when fighters are so close one can't get the edge on the other. Once again this isn't the UFC's fault except with shows outside of North America. As with the officials, the MMA judges are appointed by the local athletic commissions. This is also frustrating at times because some commissions constantly have poor judging. One of the problems is that the judging systems are flawed and also differ from state to state. Usually the UFC exercises good judgement in selecting judges for their overseas shows, but in a rare case UFC President Dana White decided to do a first and yanked judge from a recent show in Macao. It is certainly understandable how frustrating this whole situation is for fighters, promoters and fans and why this makes the top misunderstood rule on this list.
