Nevadas Statliga Atletiska Råd (NSAC) planerar att agera efter den kontroversiella poängsättningen på 10-8 vid helgens UFC-huvudmatch. Detta efter att Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko slutat oavgjort.
Nevadas Atletiska Råd håller genomgång för sina domare om vad som gäller för 10-8-ronder
UFC Noche ägde rum denna helg i lördags i T-Mobile Arena i Paradise, Nevada. I huvudmatchen fick vi se flugviktsbältet stå på spel när den nuvarande mästarinnan Alexa Grasso (16-3) mötte den forna diton Valentina Shevchenko (23-4).
Den kontroversiella poängsättningen vid matchen ledde till ett oavgjort resultat. Det var domaren Mike Bell som var oförmögen att att utse en en segrare. Resultatet har sågats av både fighters och fans.
NSAC kommer nu efter kontroversen att hålla en extra träningssession för alla sina licensierade domare. Detta för att påminna dessa om kriterierna för en 10-8 rond.
Kampsportsjournalisten Ariel Helwani rapporterade följande via Twitter:
Nevada State Athletic Commission will be holding a special 10-8 training session for all licensed judges on Wednesday, I’m told. Of course, this is in light of Saturday’s scorecard controversy.
Även om NSAC inte valt att ge ett offentligt uttalande om den kontroversiella insatsen så verkar de ta saken på allvar.
Ni kan se de skriftliga kriterierna för en 10-8 rond nedan:
A score of 10-8 does not require a fighter to dominate their opponent for 5 minutes of a round. The score of 10-8 is utilized by the judge when the judge sees verifiable actions on the part of either fighter. Judges shall ALWAYS give a score of 10-8 when the judge has established that one fighter has dominated the action of the round, had duration of the domination and also impacted their opponent with either effective strikes or effective grappling maneuvers that have diminished the abilities of their opponent.”
Judges must CONSIDER giving the score of 10–8 when a fighter shows dominance in the round even though no impactful scoring against the opponent was achieved. MMA is an offensive based sport. No scoring is given for defensive maneuvers. Using smart, tactically sound defensive maneuvers allows the fighter to stay in the fight and to be competitive. Dominance of a round can be seen in striking when the losing fighter continually attempts to defend, with no counters or reaction taken when openings present themselves. Dominance in the grappling phase can be seen by fighters taking DOMINANT POSITIONS in the fight and utilizing those positions to attempt fight ending submissions or attacks. If a fighter has little to no offensive output during a 5 minute round, it should be normal for the judge to consider awarding the losing fighter 8 points instead of 9.”
Judges must CONSIDER giving the score of 10–8 when a fighter IMPACTS their opponent significantly in a round even though they do not dominate the action. Effectiveness in striking or grappling which leads to a diminishing of a fighter’s energy, confidence, abilities and spirit. All of these come as a direct result of negative impact. When a fighter is hurt with strikes, showing a lack of control or ability, these can be defining moments in the fight. If a judge sees that a fighter has been significantly damaged in the round the judge should CONSIDER the score of 10–8.
