They have to come up with a new scoring system as they have taken this scoring system from boxing which is really a one dimensional sport ,they have to come up with a scoring system to score take downs and take down defense as well as kicking and striking and have to give a ten point system for every activity in a round .
yep, the athletic commissions just took the boxing system which does not fit to MMAQuote
Why not treat the whole 3 or 5 rounds as 1 long fight instead of treating them and scoring them on a per round basis. This will discourage some fighters from winning on points per round alone like Wonderboy or Dominic Cruz and fight to the finish.
That is how they did it in PRIDE, it was judged as a whole fight, near KO/near Sub where the highest in criteria.
and it is true that the Brazilian judges will favor the home town fighter while scoring the fights and that is the reason it is know that if you are planning to go to either UK or Brazil you have to win the match before going to the judges as i have seen some strange results in close matches. 
I can say that I'm slightly disappointed by this because I really wanted to see Belfort at his best. Yes he's at his best if he's on PEDs. We've seen it lots of times in his fights all those years ago. He was always under PEDs before the USADA came up with stricter rules.
