After hearing Ishii wasnt rewarded for Wall 'n Stall tactics in Brazil it was absolutly amazing that Brookins didnt get credited for the same shitty tactics against Koch.
MMAbay reported him as getting "screwed" by the judges and scored it 30-27 for Brooking. (Only to be shot down by a number of readers who all agreed Koch should have got the nod)
Im over the moon Koch won, rewarding tactics like Wall 'n Stall or Wrestlers Turtlefucking is up to the judges because the rules are open to interpretation.
Its clear how the fans score these stalling antics, and im sure the top dogs in UFC dont like to see it as it isnt exciting to watch. The power lies with the ref (on when he breaks up grappling only being used to stall a fight) and the Judges on what they reward.
If I was a judge 4mins 59 seconds of wall and stall with no strikes doesnt even add up to a jab or a leg kick in return.
I hope this is becomes the trend in scoring MMA fights and giving the fans what they want.
