Tito thought he got robbed? Maybe for fight of the night, but not the decision. With the eye pokes and other shenanigans, surprised J-Kos got Fight of the Night Bonus. All in all a decent night of fights. Even got to see a majority draw decision, (untelevised) which is unusual to say the least, but can happen if you draw a foul (1 point deduction) in a round you win, and then split the next two rounds 10-9, 9-10., or vice versa. Not something you'd see too often though.

The growth of MMA has exploded in the last several years, however the knowledge of many of the fans has not. Ever been to an event, where you may be watching a highly technical match on the ground, and the crowd roars "stand them up!"? Ever wondered why some judges score rounds the way they do, or ever been to a seminar where a judge asks "could you explain what the 'guard' is? I have. Ignorance of how MMA works, how it is judged, what techniques are used in fights is not bliss; it's epidemic.
This site will try to shine a light into the darkness that exists in the mind of many casual fans; MMA is very technical sport, and is far more than just punching, kicking, and wrestling. Everyone involved in the sport, from fans, fighters, to referees are constantly learning, adapting new knowledge, and evolving.
Or should be.

The Judge is an MMA fan first. He is also an amateur MMA judge working on professional status and has experience practicing japanese martial arts for several years. He also did a few years in a crappy little karate McDojo as a boy, but has been hooked, for better or worse, on all martial arts since then.
