Apparently 2 of the scores delivered last night were not added correctly.

It seems odd that they had so many problems with this. At least the judges actually got it closer to right than what we first heard on FOX. I don't understand how they could have had 2 mistakes on this stuff though. Although, I don't understand how anyone gave Bisping 30-27. That's crazier than the 30-27 Chael. That actually makes me wonder about that judge even more, because the third round was so clearly Chael's round. What the **** was that judge watching.

If anybody gave Bisping a 30-27, they're insane. I thought he deserved a 29-28, but apparently the actual numbers were different than what my eyes saw.

I was rooting for Sonnen in that fight, but afterwards I honestly couldn't tell who won. I thought the second round was clear for Bisping, third was clear for Chael, with the first being a toss-up.

This turned out to be an inaccurate report.

Round 3 was CLEARLY Sonnen's. I gave Bisping Round 2 and Sonnen Round 1.. with Sonnen winning 29-28.. but, I could possibly see how they would give Bisping Round 1, and I could see Bisping winning 29-28 as well.. but Bisping with 30-27 is just stupid.

I think now's the time to revised the scoring of MMA judging and possibly break away from the "traditional" point judging, and start their own style of judging.

As @Skelliher said up there.. it was inaccurate.  No one gave Bisping a 30-27.  I scored the fight 29-28 for Chael and could have seen a draw in there.
