Twitter Mailbag: Fowlkes on Biogenesis, MMA scoring, Bellator MMA’s pay-per-view

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000

This week’s Twitter Mailbag has a little of everything, from MMA’s connection to the Biogenesis scandal, to the trouble with scoring takedowns, to still more discussion of this whole Bellator pay-per-view thing. If you’ve got a question of your own, or, hey, even just a pithy observation about life, why not tweet it to @BenFowlkesMMA ? I love pithy observations. Except for when I don’t. Talking to fighters, you get a sense that they have a pretty good idea how the mind of a judge works when it comes to takedowns. Close round? A takedown in the final minute will almost invariably sway it, usually even if the takedowner does very little to the takedownee after the fight hits the mat.
