Yeah we should start scoring TDD tbh. Bautista shouldn't get that win for "control" when Aldo went 10-10 in TDD. 

EDIT - 11 for 11

The sport needs to change. The hug fests aren't entertaining and they aren't a great display of skill a lot of the time. Control is so overvalued in todays UFC and it has ruined a lot of cards.

Aldo could've gotten out of the position if he wanted tho. He didn't to save energy and cause he thought he was winning cause dude wasn't hurting him. 

Which I don't understand how Aldo thought he was winning. Khabib "beat" Tibau just holding him against the fence with no takedowns, punches, or kicks

Something legitimately repulsive about watching a GOAT like Jose Aldo fight a low profile name on a mid PPV in Utah......

Like who at the UFC thought this was a good idea?

Then you get that decision. Exerting all of your energy to hold a fighter up against the cage and then immediately taking damage and losing actual exchanges isn't something that should win a fighter rounds. Bautista was exerting energy to simply not get beat up, and still took more damage.

The UFC needs to start penalizing fighters who do this stuff.  It's prize fighting and fans pay to watch the product. Fighters have every right to approach their fights the way they want, but that doesn't mean we should have to pay to see it or that the UFC needs to prioritize it. Performances like Schevchenko's against Grasso or Bautista's against Aldo don't need to be on PPVs, and those fighters shouldn't be on PPVs for a long time or given other promotional favors.

I'm also sick of this Rogan-Cormier-Anik trio. They've become pretty douchey with their "High Fight IQ fans love watching positional stalling ignore these fools calling for actual aggression in a combat sport" stance.

Why was the second best fight on the entire card a prelim? Sometimes I think the UFC is just lost on what the fans really want. They strike magic at times, but man this stuff is annoying.
