UFC 70 Random Thoughts (Maj Dec, BJM, Point Deductions)
I just had some random thoughts/questions after watching UFC70. There are a ton of posts floating around about the event right now, so if there are threads that I missed about what I'm about to say, let me know and show me where they are.
1) How did the one official score the Kongo/Silva fight a draw? I was under the impression that only the refs could dock points, and it was a 10 point must system. That means that somebody (and only one person) has to get 10 points each and every round, so no single official can score it a draw unless there are point deductions. But, obviously something in my reasoning is wrong since it happened. Whats up here?
2) I didnt see BJM all night long. Not only is it odd that the UFC's most famous ref didnt do anything during its big, free event, but I thought that he had a long streak going back to like UFC 2 going. Where was he? (I didnt even see him handling the prefight stuff).
3) "First person to retreat loses a point" WTF?
