Understanding The Scoring System In MMA – A Guide For Fans And Newbies
Understanding MMA scoring is crucial for appreciating the sport. The 10-point must system evaluates factors like striking, grappling, control, and aggression. Judges assess each round, awarding points to the dominant fighter. A clear victory results in a 10-8 score, while a close round is typically 10-9. The fight’s outcome is determined by the cumulative score across all rounds, leading to unanimous, split decisions, or draws.
