Failed takedowns should count for the fighter defending them, not reward the fighter repeatedly failing to get them.
Hernandez vs. Rodrigues is the perfect example of whatโs wrong with MMA judging.
Hernandez was outstruck 243-111 on the feet and went 3-for-29 on takedowns. Rodrigues defended 26 takedown attempts while getting the better of him on the feet, in the clinch, and throughout the grappling exchanges.
Yet somehow, two judges only scored it 48-47 Rodrigues (I had it 49-45 with Round 2 a 10-8).
