The reason Islam got the decision was all that time he spent on Volks back. This isn’t 2005 however, when you could win a round by holding someone down without causing damage. Today’s criteria is damage first. No way Volk lost that fight. It was either a draw or a Volk win. Next time…
Let’s go ahead and wash 2,3,4 rounds. If volk was the crazy goat they are screaming about why couldn’t you take him down in grappling and then in 5 you had him stunned and couldn’t finish him. So you lost 4 min of that round but did dominate in great fashion that last minute or so. So give it to volk 10 – 9. He lost the first so that it 10 – 9 islam. That is a 1 – 1 draw. Thank god they score cause this crap about teachers and end of the fight is nonsense. Ask volk if he would rather be in islams position or his at the end of the 4th. Don’t ring the bell and let it stay like that. Then you lost cause islam mounted you while you were trying to escape. So at best even give the win to volk but robbed in a fight that you weren’t the obvious winner is just insanity and biased of wanting the shorter under dog to win. If he was clearly dominant in striking or grappling you can say goat or robbed but that was clearly not the case in this fight. The boy gets absolutely tagged multiple times in the face. He won the leg kicks but not enough to do any real damage. How do you have that reaction to a guy that keeps getting tagged and nodding his head as he is getting his face punched in.

Important question…
Why knockdowns don't count but takedowns does count in ufc?
Because it's mma and striking and grappling should be 50/50.
