It's about par for the course really....I personally judge on a hybrid of American and Japanease criteria....by round, but with "closest to ending the fight" , also control and effective striking...using my system Dunham would have stolen the 2nd round....but using a strict American system, he did not. Sherk controlled over half of the round with his wrestling, Sherk also definately won round one IMO...3rd was Dunham obviously.

Round 2 was close enough that I can't complain too much, but there is no reason under the Unified rules or any other that Dunham shouldn't have won round 2.

I thought Dunham won the second and third pretty decisively. The second was closer, but I still think Dunham was controlling the majority of the round, and doing far more damage during his time in control than Bader was in his.

This is why I don't purchase UFC events.

Yeah, I understand that, but the UFC also has the power to lead the way for all of the other organizations by doing something other than shrugging and saying "don't leave it in the hands of the judges."

I think sherk won the fight he won the first and it was the take downs and control that won him the second.Dunham won the third but lost a really close fight but once again the fighters shud not leave it in the hands of the judges.

The cut and all the blood sways the judges a lot IMO. If not for the cut I think Dunham gets the nod.

The last part of your comment is pure ignorance. Everytime someone has an issue with negative outcomes in North American mma (eg. steroids, referees, judging), the UFC and/or Dana is to blame. This is out of the UFC's hands so find another reason to not pay for the best mma promotion out there.

I was so numb to the questionable judging that I was Totally " MEH" to

1. Guillard over Stephens- Effective striking- Stephens- Landed better haerder more effective strikes-
Ring control? well Stephens couldnt Control Melvin baking away 97% of the time-
he did explode forward some but those punches.. IF they landed were very soft by no reaction or physichal damage - Agression - stephens clearly


2. Bader NOG- I thought the outcome was fine but one judge had bader winning all 3 rounds?

3 Sherk Dunham - well losts of post already - it was a close foght but really dunham won the 1st part of rd 1 then the cut and take/down control clearly Sherk- i gave a close 2 to dunham and 3 was ALL dunham- Usually the rd 3 winner in a close fight wins the fight.

I dont know what can be done but I wish scoring was a bit more clear
