Judging in MMA

Is the human eye good enough in MMA and do we need monitors at the judging table? The answer is most definitely yes.. After the WEC card on Sunday, it is more evident due to the draw in the main event with Jamie Varner vs Kamal Shalorus.. One judge for some ungod known reason scored the fight for Shalorus.. Varner dominated the whole fight and the only offense that Shalorus had were the 3 low kicks in the groin area... If I was Reed Harris, I would not make a rematch of this fight and I would match Varner against Ben Henderson for the Lightweight Title...

The question is: Was it on the level of Matt Hamill-Michael Bisping and Shogun-Machida 1? I would it was more on the level of Hamill-Bisping... With the Shogun-Machida fight, you could make the of Machida actually winning rounds and possinly the fight.. In the Hamill-Bisping fight, Bisping didnt even win a round..

It would be as simple as the judges having monitors to see if they did not see any of the action, like if there was a bad angle or the fighters were far enough and the judges couldn't see that far... It is basically up to the State Athletic Commisions.. Nevada is the trendsetter for everything.. Keith Kizer has said that right now it is not an option and Dana White has said numerous times that the fighters should never leave it in the hands of the judges.. There is a reason he says it and it is for that reason... So Mr.Kizer, lets get the ball rolling with this, and lets make a measure to have monitors for the judges and then all athletic commisions will start adopting the measure and we won't get result like the Varner-Shalorus fight this past Sunday night...
