Effort to end the fight by KO or submission = Nog winning


Effort to out-grapple = Ricco winning

Pride's mission statement was effort to end the fight by KO or submission, which is a flakey guidline but Nog was more active and landed the better shots.

There were some differences.
At this moment the only I can rememeber of is that it was not allowed to do ground and pound to the face. (probably Fedor´s best weapon)

good good stuff, interesting read, ninja and rampage has some interesting details, had rampage not been a man and given props to ninja o could see it going on the list but its not really controversy when even rampage agreed that ninja won, that type of behavior may reflect negatively on the promotion but i give props to a fighter that admits when he lost and think thats sportsmanship burns vs johnson I was a controversial decision so was hamill jones

See but that doesn't matter for this fight because Fedor was never on top of Arona. I still consider this the worse decision in MMA history. If this fight happened under UFC or Pride rules, Arona would have won no questions. Heck under the 10-9 scoring system you could have scored one of the rounds 10-8. Arona took down Fedor at will, and passed his guard several times. The only reason this fight went to overtime was because Fedor won the striking (which there was little of) and went for some half assed submission attempts. I mean for god sakes the fight was stood up when Arona had MOUNT! Sorry, just annoys the crap out of me.

I don't get it...why is Arona and Fedor on there? The rules didn't allow for certain things that are best that Fedor does, such as knock your head off.

and bonnar vs forrest for the most controversial...WHAT?!?! after that first round it was pretty one sided.

and Machida vs Shogun should've been number one. I was never as pissed as I was that night ask the 4 bouncers that dragged me out of wild wings and the kid with the black eye who said Shogun sucks c*ck...

[Ramma]

This list is awful lol.

Many of these decisions weren't that controversial at all. And even if they were, there are still ones that are far, far worse.

YOu do realize that Bonnar won the second round fairly easily right? So if we follow that logic then Bonnar did win the fight.

I see where you're coming from Noguiera slightly got the better of the stand up but more or less won off of submission attempts, but I still think it's stupid to hand someone a decision on sub attempts it's like saying Mayweather lost to Marquez because Marquez had more punch attempts.
