For the millionth time, for whoever needs to hear this: MMA scoring is ******* ass and most fans (including media) have zero idea what the hell the scoring criteria even mean let alone what they are. Folk out here scoring control time in a round that was decided on effective striking ffs. The Ten point must is nonsensical in MMA (and in kickboxing and boxing too but whtvr) but DFW isn't ever going to change anything so i'm not going to waste my breath

1-3 Shevchenko & 2-4 Grasso
All depend on how you score round 4.

I think the draw is a good call here but because of a 9-9 in round 4 not a 10-8 anywere.

hope they investigate Mike Bell and his scorecards for the rest of his career. that was a clear fix last night and you won't be able to convince me otherwise.

After tonight, Chris Tognoni and Mike Bell should never be allowed anywhere near an MMA event.

Grasso will lose the belt that she should've lost last night in her next fight against Blanchfield and she won't have the bias judges help to save her because she is going to get finished!

@Areisius 
Highly unlikely, after seeing how Blanchefield performs on the feet, I can tell Grasso will drop her multiple times and finish it. Best she can do is hug her but even if she wins that way she won't earn any respect as a hugger.

I just re-watched the fight this morning after rewatching last night. Grasso very clearly won rounds 2,4,5. No doubt or even slight discussion about it in any way shape or form. There were no 10-8s at all. Anyone who even suggest Valentina won the 4th is someone who I cannot take serious.

i hold no bias, i just see it how it is. My apologies if I seem to show otherwise. I simply changed my profile pic because of how great Grassos win was last night.

@baremaras 
no bias, everyone, including you, know the judges last night made some huge mistakes so I simply cannot take their decision seriously. giving 10-8 plus giving shev the 4th is just completely outrageous and makes them not credible. Grasso is the rightful winner and she won in my eyes and in many knowledgeable eyes. Can't wait to watch her fight Blandfield next.

Arguing over who won a close fight is the dumbest past time. Why was she happy? Because she keeps her title. The **** you mean. The options are; win and defend title, lose and drop title, or draw and retain title. Two of those options result in her still being champion. She kept her title and is happy about that because with that title comes championship-level money. It really shouldn't need to be explained to mongs like you who still cannot comprehend that the sport is PRIZEFIGHTING.
