Not those visuals.
Moving forward, throwing harder punches. Just looking like you're winning every exchange even if you aren't always.
It's the biggest thing for me with WMMA betting.

Fucin disguisting Lee should have won that 30-37 or atleast 29-28! Worst robbery in a long time.

While 30-27 is silly, there's a solid argument that Barber won the fight. Damage over control, and Barber beat up Lee almost as much as se did the air.

This actually opens a wider discussion (that no one will have).
Where do the UFC's interests bleed over to the athletic commissions'? We all know how business runs on relationships, but it's borderline fraudulent to be selling these fights as legitimate when power brokers behind the scenes are tipping the scales.
I expect this in boxing which stinks worse than a whorehouse at low tide. I thought the UFC was trying to sell itself as a legitimate league.

People are still judging fights like it's 2005. The new scoring criteria is simple:
Who did the most damage or EFFECTIVE grappling (meaning grappling to do damage or working towards submissions) in a round? That person won the round. That is all you need to concern yourself with. Don't pay attention to who is moving forward, who is getting takedowns, who is aggressive. NONE of that matters. Who did the most damage/impact is the main scoring criteria.
Now if the round is completely even in striking/effective grappling, THEN you go to who was more aggressive in that round. It still doesn't matter who had control time. Whoever was the most aggressive wins that round. If aggression is equal THEN you go to who had control time.
Andrea Lee's takedowns counted as control. If she's just holding position, that is control time. It doesn't count unless nothing else happens. Barber landed shots on her back while Lee just held. That goes to Barber.
3-0 Barber. She landed more strikes. It's sad. Only Anik took the time to study the rules and go to a scoring/judging summit to actually learn how to score fights. He's been the saving grace on commentary. Fitzgerald mentioned tonight that Lee had 4 minutes of control time. Nice stat. It doesn't matter...

I had money on Barber and I'll admit that I thought Lee was robbed. I thought Lee won every round.

I didn't see a single round that could have convincingly been given to Barber. That was a shutout by Lee.
That has GOT to sting. I'd question whether I'd even want to continue in MMA if the organization I'm fighting for *seems* to be engaging in some monkey business that damages my record.

An argument can be made for 29-28 either way.
Personally, I had Barber winning. As stated ITT, her TDD was trash but Lee did nothing with the position & got hammered while on top (especially in the 1st rd). Barber also outstruck Lee by a comfortable margin.
30-27 though? Uh uh.

Bleeding and on her back. Did maycee really put on a striking display that agreed with numbers that someone counted?
