It sucks but it's here to stay for now... look at the Tanner Grove fight... how on earth was that a split decision?
Rampage jinxed himself with the "I bet you our fight don't go to no decision..." and he lost his bet...
The fight was good, the crowd wanted Forrest to win and he was the more active fighter... If you look at judges and their scoring history they usually give it to the more active, pressing fighter... Wasn't that their argument for Bisping Hamil? Now this fight was nowhere NEAR as lopsided as that one, but the judges take into account punches and kicks thrown regardless of having them land, moving forward, takedowns... that's the only consistency I can see...
As a human there's only so much you can do when you're tired and beat up to finish a fight, but what you can't do is expect for the judges to see it your way...
Either way bad judges are here to stay...
