I think this is the problem here. "lighting up" Davis is a bit of a stretch. If landing peppering shots to Davis' arms as he blocked is "lighting him up" then I clearly don't know what that term means. Davis didn't have a single mark on his face after the fight.

Hitting his arm? Oh my god.. I can't take you seriously.

I don't know what to tell you man. The three people being paid to judge the fight agree with me.

Don't even go there. You know just as well as I do that these judges don't know what they're talking about 60% of the time.

and Davis didnt do much damage while he was on top, I the way our judging system works credits too much wrestlers
what do you make of a wrestler that takes a BJJ down and the wrestler is laying on top of him but doing nothing the entire round, while the BJJ is trying for subs the entire round and staying active? remember the guard work is part of BJJ.

If the wrestler was just laying on top of the BJJ guy, and the BJJ guy was constantly going for submissions then I would give it to the BJJ guy. It's about being active, not responding. Phil Davis going for takedowns is active. Nog sprawling is responding to the action that Davis is imposing on him.

but a judge would give the round to the wrestler if that was the case, I am not arguing Davis didnt win the fight, but he didnt win round one

Granted, but 40% of the time they do
I just don't see this as a robbery by any means. It could have gone either way.

I see no way Phil Davis even came close to winning that round, to be completely honest.

I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one, dudes.

I gave it to Davis. Thought he was dictating the pace and was moving forward.
Didn't see Lil Nog do much except stuff takedowns. People complain when a figher wins a round for getting a takedown, but then does nothing. This is similar in that Lil Nog did nothing
except
stuff takedowns. Can you give a guy a round for solely playing defense?

completely agree, I had it 2-1 Davis and there is no way he won the first round!
