... the first round was obfuscated because, while Pudilova had all that top position control time, Edwards actually did more damage in that round. You could see it on Pudilova's face. Remember: Damage is the #1 criteria that fights are scored by.

Second round was obviously Pudilova's.

Third round? Dog**** round, flip a coin.

And there you have the anatomy of a split decision.

Wait until round 1 when everyone thinks your fighter lost the round but you know if judges follow the rules she won it and it's a 50/50 in the remaining 2. Profit.

This is why WMMA shouldn't exist, the judges don't even care enough to watch it.

Judges don't score for control time anymore. Can't cry robbery when you don't out strike your opponent in a single round. Round 2 was even 12-12. Edwards out struck her in rounds 1 and 3. For the last 1-2 years judges have been scoring this way where control does not win fights.
