Jackson should win, but also, shameful lack of urgency in the final minute. Big John giving Ruth the 2nd round is hilarious as usual. Let's see what happens next...

29-28 Jackson.

Damage is the primary criteria--that which draws the fight close to being finished, and subordinate criteria such as accumulative damage, dominance and control can only be considerations in the instance the primary criteria is not met by any fighter.

That's how it works. That is how MMA is judged.

Laying on a guy for a minute does not win fights more than a knockdown.
In the mean streets of West Linn Oregon, you lay on a guy for a minutes after they knock you down, they call you... not a winner

@Mikey that isn't how MMA judging works. Again, dominance and accumulative damage can only be scoring considerations in the instance that the primary criteria isn't met. He got floored badly, and it was.

I didn't make the rules, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

By the way I never said I agreed with the decision. I'm just saying Ruth controlled all the 3rd apart from 10seconds.
