Question

What do you think about the inconsistency in MMA officiating?

Answer 1

Its highly subjective some refs will stop a fight due to a flash KO even though the guy gets up in seconds and complains about it.  Others let the fight go on until one fighter goes limp and even then after 4 or 5 punches after the fact.  Clearly the refs play favoritism to certain big names.

Answer 2

There are rules, but some refs interpret them differently.  It is a shame that it happens, but thats why you need to be the one doing the punishing.  Vera and Thompson got royally screwed, but what are you going to do?

Answer 3

Never let it go to the judge!

Answer 4

It's a lot better than the officiating in the NBA.

Answer 5

Yes, the amount of damage delivered to get a TKO varies a lot depending on the ruling official.  I guess it can be subjective to judge how much is too much, but for experience MMA fans it is pretty well known which ref is quick to call a fight.
