      Besides the fact he reminds me of [MENTION=33583]jdjohnson[/MENTION]...

      Woodley knows he will lose, just desperate to have a successful defense so he doesn't look like a wiedman fluke

        Slight rule changes/judging system
        imo for the better

        http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/8/2/...a-new-rules-in

        Nutshell:
        no more 3 point touch for grounded fighters

        Judging is a lot more clear, and 10-8s are more enforced

        Striking and grapping #1 judging, then cage control

        dmg is more important than number of strikes

        theres a bit more

          Seen Chael talking about this earlier.

          Damage more important is tricky though.

            was a 10-10 round possible before these changes? I think not because the wording before was the round loser gets 9 or less points. seems really dumb that a round can tie...how could striking/grapling aggression and octagon control all be identical? theyd have to stand in the middle of the ring unmoving and trade punch for punch i guess that could be dope

            dont really love it but i couldnt right a perfect judging system myself. kinda have an issue with the wording of damage, because you then can win a round by throwing one punch that cracks the red kings nose open even if he lands more sig strikes by far?

            i guess its just some guys show damage more than others is my main problem. black man takin no losses, but now is the time of the african american champion with 3 current belt holders

              also why not make it a 3 point must scoring system with the loser gaining 2 or less?

              due away with all this complex multiple digit addition lol

                Hopefully in regards towards "Damage," they mean if the person was ever in danger (ex: gets rocked or a heavy strike was landed, signs of limping due to leg strikes or a sub attempt etc) instead of physical damage such as cuts or busted noses. I do agree some fighters are more prone towards physical damage such as Rory than others which makes it unfair.

                I do think judging is going to be the same IMO, because they are still using the same judges. The only positive in this is that it is clear cut what should be valued more, because back then it was up to the judge's preference on what scored more. Now it should be somewhat universal

                Also regarding Draws, such as 10-10 rounds, I believe judges try their best to avoid giving draws due to the public hating draws

                  This is their definition of damage as per the new rules so thats why im worried because it seems to focus on visible damage but its hard to define in writing when really what they need is confident judges because its so opinionated "Damage includes visible evidence such as swellings and lacerations. Damage shall also be assessed when a fighter’s actions, using striking and /or grappling, lead to a diminishing of their opponents’ energy, confidence, abilities and spirit."
                  I dont think a 10-10 round was possible before tho because the old wording was "the round winner gaining 10 points and his opponent 9 or less" it just seems a dumb thing to add in more possibilities of a draw when they get paid for winning .

                  but im complaining a lot im sure itll all be ok

                      Yeah, some dudes bust up easy and you don't have to do much. Others take awhile to wear the damage.

                      Damage should be taken into consideration, but not more than significant strikes landed.

                        They should take away that gay ass elbow rule too

                        It was literally made because the commission saw those fake ass chinks busting those dried out cinder blocks with their elbows
