  1. Something I've found telling in the aftermath of the MM loss is that literally everyone who says that they had Cejudo winning the decision follows up their opinion by showing a complete misunderstanding in how the UFC guidelines state that takedowns specifically and wrestling in general are scored. If you take your opponent down and don't follow that up with effect striking or attempts to end the fight (submissions, etc), you are not supposed to be given credit on the scorecards. "Takedowns" are not a scoring move, what happens after potentially is.

  3. I feel it was a very close fight.
    Watching it live I though DJ won it but would need to watch it again.

    However regarding the takedowns I disagree.
    There is nothing that really specify what a takedown is in MMA (This is MMA not wrestling)

    However I don't see it as a failed attempt either.
    If I was judging it I would look at it like this
    Cejudo won some "Points" with the takedown however DJ won those "Points" back with the roll escape.

  4. why is a takedown such a massive point in a fight but when a fighter springs straight back up it means nothing

  7. Serious question here, you keep saying in wrestling it would be a take down, and that's just the way it is. But in the UFC/MMA are judges told to use wrestling scoring parameters? If not then your entire reasoning is no good.

  8. i think henry did enough to get the w in rounds 3 4 and 5 but we should not forget midway in round 2 dj has torn his acl and broke his foot maybe in the same round

  9. It's a point in wrestling, but this is mma. The goal of wrestling is to score takedowns but for man it is to beat up your opponent

  10. Schaub: google Mma scoring criteria. Position isn't important. "Establishing an attack" and the result gaining the position matter more.
