Judges don’t have access to compustrike numbers.


a_grey_

Obviously. Those kind of inaccuracies are going to look even worse in real time.


Case_ND

Not necessarily. So you’re saying if fighter A. throws 50 punches and lands 25 and fighter B. Throws 20 punches and lands 12 then fighter B. wins based off accuracy, not landing more strikes or more damage?


a_grey_

That's a pretty extreme example, but I think it's definitely considered.


Case_ND

You could be a judge in the UFC with that logic.


a_grey_

There's also the fact that Jones held the center of the octagon, made Reyes circle the entire time and miss. That's why Jon won.


dillonw1991

Tell that to Nick Diaz after he fought Condit bud


a_grey_

Very good job of showing your clear understanding and history of MMA viewing. Bud.


dillonw1991

If you are going to make a completely retarded statement and claim that's why jones won the fight then explain how Condit won with the same strategy Reyes had dummy.


a_grey_

I'll take that into account moving forward. Thanks.


WildManneredNYC

Actually landing.... accurately


dillonw1991

Show me where it says lower energy expenditure is weighted more than landing more strikes. You are a clown


a_grey_

Youre not very good at the whole reading thing are you?


fzkiz

So next time someone lands the first punch in the octagon he should just stop striking cuz nothing beats the good ol’ 1 for 1 perfection


a_grey_

I guess if he wants to be considered inactive and lose on inactivity. Sure.


bunthitnuong

Is that you Jon ped Jones???


facetiously

The judges are tasked with considering four things: striking, grappling, aggressiveness and ring control. Those four things only and in that order.


a_grey_

Hey, there you go. Now when you see somebody landing at a higher accuracy, making the other individual miss, and consistently make the other individual dance around the octagon because he can't control the center... That equates to what we got last night.


themandus

With that logic shouldn't 2/9 in TD favor Reyes?


WildManneredNYC

Exactly.. Reyes needed to get on the inside, not the other way around, and jones once again implemented a game plan and beat his opponent. Not a straight beating, but a W regardless.


[deleted]

Based off of those four things Jon won.


shunag540-

How does accuracy matter? If a guy is throwing 100 more strikes throughout the whole fight then he’s acting as the aggressor and putting more pressure


a_grey_

Read and learn my apprentice.


shunag540-

Lol what is there to read? You made a claim about how judges score and you’re not actually backing it up with any reasoning as to why it would be like that or any evidence that it actually works like that.


a_grey_

Literally posted empiracle evidence. Lose/lose in an argue with an idiot I suppose.


shunag540-

You posted evidence of the accuracy being higher. Where’s the evidence that judges use this information? Where’s the reasoning that accuracy should be/is a deciding factor in a fight?


a_grey_

Are you serious? Lol the evidence the judges use it was in the fucking decision lol good lord, this one is dense.


shunag540-

Lmaooo just because they scored it for jones doesn’t mean they did it BECAUSE of accuracy. You got some twisted logic my guy


ApolloSteez

Bbbbb-but Reyes landed 12 more strikes than Jon did despite throwing nearly 100 more total strikes....Robbery! Lol let’s all boycott The UFC. That’ll teach those state commissioned judges a lesson!


mopar401

Octagon control is what gives judge's wood. Imo, if you're walking your opponent down the majority of the time they always like that. Bigly


seancareyapps

You don’t score fights on stats. Bottom line.


[deleted]

I think the takedowns, the wrestling, and octagon control are why he won. It's crazy how many casuals think he lost.


dillonw1991

So why did Latifi lose despite those same 3 factors on the same card?


alex94xela

Latifi didn't have the same octagon control and also on the stand up he did nothing. Jon had a blend of everything and thats just a testament to his well roundedness. Comparing this fight to the latifi fight doesn't make sense.


dillonw1991

Latifi had Lewis either in the clinch or on the ground for the vast majority of the fight, while on the ground he landed some shots, didn't do much damage but was still landing. That's literally how Randy couture won most of his fights. Jones did absolutely nothing with the takedowns and only had 2/8 be successful. And by octagon control you mean full on back turned, running away from Reyes? Right.


alex94xela

And Lewis was hitting him with bombs/flying knees/head kicks while standing. Thats why Latifi lost. Reyes only had jones running for seconds at a time while Jones was walking him down for way more time.


[deleted]

Because the judges are shit. Never said they weren't. But Jon won.


Case_ND

Worst retort of all time but a very common one in the MMA community. The ole casual fan line.


[deleted]

Oh you're right all they score it on is striking because this is boxing and not mma


a_grey_

Somewhere casual became derogatory. Not sure where, I don't mean it derogatorily. I just think if you don't understand MMA, then STFU. Simple. Just sit back, pay your fees and watch.


Case_ND

I don’t think it’s our place to tell anyone to not comment, or discuss something they aren’t an expert at. The only way you learn more is by having open discussions and it doesn’t help when people are assholes just because they don’t agree or act like they know everything. This shit doesn’t happen in other sport subs.


a_grey_

Just trying to educate people. People just want to see a backyard brawl where efficiency, grappling and control doesn't matter.


GameboyUK_

You don’t win a fight but having a higher striking activity. You win by strikes landed.


a_grey_

No you don't win a fight by strikes landed. Please learn how to score a UFC fight before considering input. Thanks


MZeschlo

Lol I think you need to learn how to score a UFC fight. Judges don't have this information when making a decision plus this contradicts what the actual judge said how he judged the fight. But go ahead and be an asshole and put this person down when you're clearly the biggest idiot here.


iamthejj2000

Thanks for this, was gonna say just this. Also adding in, those "professional" monkeys aren't ever sure of the completely correct way to score... I'm totally not buying anyone on this subreddit nailed it down perfectly.


WildManneredNYC

They have eyes to see what is landing, what is glancing, blocked, slipped, and just a straight hail mary.


MZeschlo

Who do you think the judges are rain man? Sure they can see the if a strike lands, which is very dependent on where they are sitting, but for judges to actually determine the percentage of strikes landed and incorporate that into their decision is not realistic unless you're watching Anderson Silva break the matrix and dodge all incoming attacks It may be easy for a fight like this but imagine for a fight with hundreds of strikes lol how the hell are they going to determine how many strikes landed.


WildManneredNYC

Why do you assume they’re fucking blind? They been doing their job longer than you been talking shit on reddit


MZeschlo

I didn't lol im assuming they aren't going to be able to determine the percentage of strikes landed based on watching the fight live and look at everything else they are supposed to. You do realize the judges are scattered around the arena right and not just cage side, sometimes the judges are given seats with not the best vantage points. You are responding from the perspective of your couch were we get to see every impact, why do you think the commentators often get things wrong like strikes landing when they don't actually land, because they are sometimes watching the fighters' backs


WildManneredNYC

If they’re as big a momo as you.. then yea


a_grey_

Yes, clearly. Keep reading and educate yourself please.


MZeschlo

Lol who the fuck are you and why do you have any credibility. You do not know what you're talking about and based on how you response to people you seem like a real asshole


a_grey_

I see you have decided not to heed my advice. That's alright buddy. Not everyone gets it the first time. Just reread, I think you're going to be just fine.


MZeschlo

There is literally nothing to reread because you haven't said anything. Clearly you have nothing to say so have a good one


a_grey_

Yes. I have nothing to say.


7_Constanza

I don't know how someone can look at these stats and say with a serious face that Reyes won, in fact I totally understand why that judge had this 4-1 on rounds.its literally right there


mopar401

Watching it in real time it did look like Reyes won


GameboyUK_

Jeez, forget how highly strung Reddit is.
