Sorry I like Lawler but Johnny Hendricks clearly won that fight. He won the first 4 rds. @ufc
— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) December 7, 2014
You can't argue any judge giving 48-47 to either guy. But the 49-46 score is insane! #UFC181

Awesome to see two former @Strikeforce fighters in the #UFC181 title fight. Went 1 -1. Not to bad.
— Cung Le (@CungLe185) December 7, 2014
scoring system is fucked in MMA, a better system wud be ideal. In boxing they have a lot of rds to iron out irregularities in scoring (1)
— Angela Magana UFC (@AngelaMagana1) December 7, 2014
So in MMA why not add more judges ring side. Maybe 5-7 judges. That would weed out a lot of bad decisions from a 1 or 2 dodgy judges (2)

And the NEW!!!! Congrats brotha @americantopteam!!!! Congrats to the NEW CHAMP @ruthless_rl !! #UFC181… http://t.co/QWktXMBguK
