MMA Decisions

At a glance

• Logs judge-by-judge scorecards for fights that go to a decision
• Lets you study each judge's scoring history
• Updated after every UFC event

Overview

MMA Decisions is an English-language database dedicated to MMA decisions. When a fight goes the distance and the judges decide it, the site records each judge's scorecard, round by round. You can see how every judge scored every round, beyond the final verdict read out in the cage.

The site is updated after every UFC event. It is the place to go when a decision sparks debate: instead of settling for the overall score, you can see which judge gave which round, and compare that with how the other judges scored the same fight. That turns a loud argument into something you can check.

What you'll find

Search works three ways: by event, by judge or by fighter. By event, you get every decision on a card with the scorecards. By fighter, you find all their wins and losses on the cards, with the full breakdown. By judge, you get every fight that judge has scored over the years.

That last option lets you study each judge's history: how often they end up alone against the other two, or how they handle close rounds. The site also runs a blog on disputed decisions, which looks back at the verdicts that got people talking and lays out the scorecards behind them.

Why follow

MMA Decisions is useful every time a result on the scorecards surprises you. Instead of relying on hot takes, you check the cards and see where the fight was won or lost, round by round. It also helps you understand how judges apply the scoring criteria in practice.

For fans interested in officiating and judging, the judge histories are the most revealing part. They show that the same fight can be read very differently depending on who is sitting cageside, and they help you anticipate how close fights might be scored before the cards are read.

MMA Official's take

MMA Decisions is for fans who want to understand decisions, for analysts, and for anyone who argues about verdicts after a UFC card. It also suits bettors who want to know how a judge scores close fights before sizing up a matchup that could go the distance.

Start with the page for the latest UFC event and open the scorecards for a split decision. Then use the judge search to see the history of the one who stood out, and browse the site's blog on disputed decisions.
