You can tell judging is a special kind of problem in MMA just by the cliches we use to make peace with it. “Don’t leave it in the hands of the judges,” we say after questionable decisions such as the one that gave Phil Davis the win over Lyoto Machida at UFC 163. As if we’re concerned that fighters might bypass a chance at a knockout finish just to let the officials at cageside show off their ability to add up 10s and 9s. What we’re really saying is, “You know these people who are here to do only one job? Yeah, we don’t trust them to do it
