| I voted for judging. I think that is the biggest issue in MMA. It's frustrating as a fan and one of the biggest questions I get from my casual fan buddies. Too many fucked up decisions. | |

| Actually I think peds, judging, and brain injury are all pretty equally big issues facing our sport. They are all problems that need attention but no one has the answers for. No matter what cheaters will find a way to cheat, no matter what we'll have fucked up decisions and point deductions, and no matter some of these fighters are gonna get hurt. | |

| Brain injury is a given in a combat sport, the only way to completely get rid of brain injuries is to eliminate combat sports IMO... | |

This! 2011 has been awful when it comes to Judges. Ref's are right behind them so with both of those as one I had to agree with Killer. | |

| Easily judging/officiating. But it looks like certain things are starting to come around. The Siver decision is a forward step, as is the PSAC reversal of Oliveira's win being ruled a no contest within a couple days. | |

| the 10 point must system...go away
Effective scoring = a decrease in stalling, point grubbing and bad decisions

| Im not a fan of the companies combining. It has pros and cons i guess but i like it better with other companies to challenge the UFC not join them. | |
