Personal MMA Fan HQ "UNOFFICIAL" Scoring For "Bellator 49" Main Card Bouts

We have been trying to promote individual scoring among MMA fans when watching fights. We want fans to put themselves in a judges position and score fights honestly and unbiased. We want fans to understand the "10-point must" scoring system that is used under the unified rules of combat that are in place to regulate MMA.With many draws, split decisions, and questionable results that quickly gather criticism of judges and the scoring system, we want fans to give honest scores that include 10-10, 10-8, and even 10-7 scores. If we want MMA to be recognized legitimately as a true sport, then we must become true legitimate fans in the process.

We score 29-29 ruling a DRAW
Lozano defeats Weedman via Unanimous Decision
Official Scoring: 29-28, 29-28, 29-28 all for Lozano awarding him the Unanimous Decision
Personally I saw Rnd1 go to Weedman taking Lozano's back for much of the round. Rnd2 I saw Lozano taking it with more strikes landed showing power. Rnd3 was back & forth on the ground with Weedman getting takedowns & Lozano reversing into good positions. Pitting the takedowns against the reversals, it was difficult to compare when picking the winner of Rnd3. I feel the round could have gone either way.
