Two knockdowns in one round — first at 1:23, second at 2:54 — both beat the 8-count but a fighter getting floored twice in the same round is a 10-8 regardless of whether they continue. That is written in the scoring criteria.

The judge gave 10-9. I genuinely cannot find the justification. This isn't about favouring either fighter — the rule is the rule. If two knockdowns in a single round doesn't trigger a 10-8, what does? Anyone who has the rulebook open, please explain this to me.

The referee framing and the judge framing are different lenses and neither is definitively wrong.

Arm bar protection vs intelligently defending is a split-second judgment. I give referees significant benefit of the doubt.
