MMA Fan HQ UNOFFICIAL Scoring/Results For "UFC 142: ALDO vs MENDES" 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.
