| I am a boxing fan and learning about mma so I will admit I am not an expert on it. However how in gods name is that not a 10-8 round for Thiago in the 3rd round? He had the guy dropped and almost out and he still only gets a 10-9 round when Evans gets a 10-9 round for scoring take downs that did no damage at all. That just doesn't seem right to me and I was just wondering if someone could explain to me how that was only a 10-9 round for Thiago. Are takedowns that do no damage scored the same as dropping your opponent and almost finishing him? Its not like Evans did much at all in the third either to make it a 10-9. |

| It was close.
In MMA you really really have to dominate and the other person has to basically do nothing. _________________ Who's taking the LHW Title from Bones?

| In MMA a knockdown does not automatically make it a 10-8 round.
A takedown is a scoring technique. A takedown is also like ring control in boxing, the fighter taking the other down is dictating where the fight is taking place. |

| A round is to be scored as a 10-10 Round when both contestants appear to be fighting evenly and neither contestant shows clear dominance in a round;
A round is to be scored as a 10-9 Round when a contestant wins by a close margin, landing the greater number of effective legal strikes, grappling and other maneuvers;
A round is to be scored as a 10-8 Round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
A round is to be scored as a 10-7 Round when a contestant totally dominates by striking or grappling in a round. |

| Seen them here in NJ in Ring Of Combat (Pro), as well as in the amateur system. Trying to think but I do believe there was one in the first ever show in Baltimore last year. |

| But not in the UFC. They do a 10-9 must. _________________ Who's taking the LHW Title from Bones?

I know a knockdown is not automatically a 10-8 in mma, but it wasn't like it was just a knockdown, he had him hurt BADLY. |

| No denying he had him hurt bad, but did he overwhelmingly dominate the round? IMO he didn't. |

| There were also several 10-10 rounds at Dynamite, which was using the ten point must system for the MMA bouts the other day. |
