"In MMA We Trust"

I often hear people repeat the famous words of Dana White "Don't leave it in the hands of the judges."  I really hate when I hear people say that.  How many times have we seen good fighters fight their asses off only to be robbed by the judges?

In Boxing, Oscar Delahoya had a comfortable lead over Felix Trinidad, he then ran from Felix for three rounds. In that case I believe he deserved to lose because he stopped fighting. That was his bad. This week we saw Toby Imada fight his ass off in Bellator and he lost to what many people believed was a bad decision.  Toby fought until the end but sometimes the finish just isn't in the cards. Would you say Toby wasn't trying to finish Curran? I know I wouldn't, even with one eye he was swinging untill the bell.

MMA is no longer filled with lopsided matchups, fighters are well rounded now so we see many fights go to the cards.  When a finish doesn't happen, as a fighter you have to be able to trust the system.  There are far too many things on the line for these guys as many of them can't even afford to train full time.

So is it the fighter's fault or the system? I say it's the system. We need to stop blaming fighter and start pointing fingers where they belong.
