Its the same in other sports as well. My sister used to always watch figure skating and the judging in that is equally as bad if not worse then in MMA. i think i will take the 10 point must system as is for the time being. its not the best but its also not the worst.

At least in figure skating there are certain routine criteria that need to be met, and point deductions are made due to content of the routine and execution instead of just a base "ye he won the round, or ney he lost" score. Far more accurate IMO. Either way, with the rate that MMA is growing, I hope someone comes up with something soon.
