BJ Penn: Takedowns And Positions Are Jokes | Steve Rattlesnake (http://steverattlesnake.cliquezone.com/2010/08/bj-penn-takedowns-and-positions-are-joke)
“My problem with the scoring system is that you can go out and win the first round by 50 points and lose the second round by two points on a takedown or something and it’s an even fight going to the third round, that’s a joke. On another note, what good does a takedown do if I take down Demian Maia? How many points do I get if I mount on James Toney? It’s just ridiculous. I don’t think positions should be any points. The only things that should count as points are power punches and legitimate submission attempts. Add them up at the end of the fight and whoever has the most points or did the most damage wins. That’s how it should be. That 10-9 system doesn’t work.”
