Scott has built a still-growing database of scored UFC rounds and wanted to share some observations from the data, so he and Dan discuss what some of that means for MMA judging. Don’t worry, it’s not just a bunch of numbers being lobbed at you the whole time.

Scott and Dan do not like MMA’s dirty little ‘R’ word — robbery — but is Sanchez’s infamous victory over Pearson an exception? The CSJ discuss one of the most maligned scorecards in modern UFC history.

The Judges are joined by veteran MMA writer E. Spencer Kyte, who penned a thoughtful reflection on the year in judging for his Keyboard Kimura Newsletter, to discuss a subject he shares a passion for with Scott and Dan.

By most measures, this year sucked. But at least there was some fantastic fistic and kickic (is that a thing?) action in the MMA space. In that spirit, Scott and Dan hand out their own meaningless end-of-year honors and distinctions to officials, fighters and more, with a heavy focus on UFC action. Welcome to the inaugural Judgies!

The Couchside Judges are gifting you listeners a treat of a Past Judgment with the fight that vaulted MMA into the mainstream. Would Scott and Dan's adjusted scoring criteria create a different result to Griffin-Bonnar I? Give it a listen this Christmas.

Wonderboy’s clear decision victory over first-time UFC headliner Neal was drama free, as were most of the scorecards on a strong night for the judges in Las Vegas. Scott and Dan just had a few rounds to discuss, including one split 10-8/10-9 that left the CSJ puzzled.

Scott and Dan miss WEC, which held its final even 10 years ago this week. But the CSJ remember the blue cage and lighter fighters fondly, and the decided to put the final WEC bout through Past Judgment and relive a classic fight — plus the birth of the iconic Showtime Kick.

A Fight of the Year contender headlined 2020’s final UFC pay-per-view, going down as a draw thanks to a justified point deduction for a foul. But should Figueiredo, who retained his flyweight title, earned the win despite losing a point? Scott and Dan give their take.

Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza won’t be headlining UFC 256 this Saturday, but his scheduled main-card tilt against Kevin Holland gives Scott and Dan reason to revisit a pair of close split decision losses that prevented the Brazlian middleweight standout from ever securing a UFC title shot. Does he have a case to win either fight? The CSJ discuss those fights and more.

The headliners treated us to a fantastic — and well-judged — middleweight clash, which Marvin Vettori convincingly won. But Scott and Dan have much more to say about the Roman Dolidze vs. John Allan split decision. The CSJ have plenty of thoughts about the dissenting judge but aim to take a measured, data-driven approach with their critique.
