  1. People need to realize that a 50-49 fight can still be very close. If every one of those rounds were razor thin but ultimately went to one fighter every time its still a close fight. Thats the great thing about MMA. You watch a round in its entirety. Its not called the Ultimate Strikes Thrown Per Round Championship Its a fight and its about you won the fight during that round. Pillow Hands JJ or Thug Rose? Strikes thrown and landed are A PART OF IT. Damage, control, movement, momentum, etc. Are all things a judge takes into consideration and even sometimes subconsciously.

  2. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Rose is the queen!! She landed all the solid strong hits. Joanna just had leg kicks

  3. Yeah that's great but how do you measure how much damage is being inflicted? Its hard to quantify outside of an outright knockout, that's why they use strikes landed; it's objective. How hurt you think a fighter might be is subjective- the athlete may not even be aware how much damage they have sustained!

  4. Those 49-46 scorecards were so biased it might as well have been boxing. I had it 48-47 to rose and I still believe that fifth round could have gone either way so who knows

  5. Joanna was only starting to win rounds when she started throwing leg kicks. Once she took away Rose's legs then she able to go to work. I don't understand why Joanna did't do it earlier.

    Rose was great either way. She's really becoming a elite level fighter.
