Sal D’Amato explains justification for 10-8 in Chandler vs. Oliveira at UFC 262 – but there’s gray area

BAD MMA News — Fri, 21 May 2021 17:43:35 +0000

Got a problem with Sal D’Amato’s 10-8 score for Michael Chandler over Charles Oliveira in Round 1 of their lightweight title fight at UFC 262? Take it up with the judging criteria in the Association of Boxing Commission’s unified rules of mixed martial arts. “The criteria, if you read it, does call for that round, you could score it a 10-8,” D’Amato told MMA Junkie Radio on Thursday. “Now, I see the argument for 10-9, but that night I scored it 10-8, and one of the reasons why is, in the criteria, it states what is a 10-8.” According to the unified rules that D’Amato and other judges rely on, a 10-8 score “does not require a fighter to dominate their opponent for 5 minutes of a round.” A 10-8 score should be awarded if “one fighter has dominated the action of the round, had duration of the domination and also impacted their opponent with either effective strikes or effective grappling maneuvers that have diminished the abilities of their opponent.” A 10-8 score should be considered if “a fighter IMPACTS their opponent significantly in a round even though they do not dominate the action.” Earlier this week, Daniel Cormier, who called UFC 262 cageside, was among the most vocal critics of D’Amato and Chris Lee, the two judges who scored the first round 10-8 for Chandler, because the round was largely competitive. Chandler landed two hard left hooks that stunned Oliveira and appeared close to a finish with two minutes remaining

Michael Chandler failed to capture the UFC lightweight title this past Saturday night, but that doesn’t mean he’s done trying. The former Bellator lightweight champion was stopped by Charles Oliveira in the second round of their main event clash at UFC 262 in Houston. It was Chandler’s (22-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) first UFC title shot after having joined the promotion in September – following at long tenure at Bellator where he competed for a decade. The 35-year-old by no means feels he’s done as a title contender at 155 pounds. Having almost finished Oliveira in the first round, Chandler is confident this latest setback didn’t push him too far down the ladder.
