whats the criteria for a judge to decide a fight? punches/kicks/knees/elbows landed, effective punches/kicks/knees/elbows landed, what if its 'kind of' blocked but still 'sort of' hit? number of takedowns/attempts, octogon control (what is that though? staying in the center or effectivly circling the outside?), aggression (what if one guy is a counterstriker), grappling positions, top position, cardio shape.
Does anyone reading this think a person can actually make the perfect call on all this or is bias going to come into this whether its boxing or mma?
Im an actual fighter and I cant answer how the judges do it. I do understand that the champion goes into a fight with an automatic advantage along with a fighter that is more popular or has had plenty of great performances to leave impressions on the judges. Three areas that shogun was not covered by.
