Good, I'd like to see him stay involved in the sport and more well qualified judges is something that we are in dire need of.

I think the more retired fighters we can have as judges the better off it might be

It's a good thing, judging is ****** up and needs to change as soon as possible.

Its a good idea but l think there are too many factors for the judges to fairly make a decision. For example submission attempts, submission escapes, takedowns, getting back to your feet, clinching, punches landed, harder punches landed, knockdowns. Maybe lm over thinking it but IMO judging all these aspects is the only way to get a fair decision. Well what do you guys think.
