Here we are again: Another fight with a close decision and a similar misconception of what the fight game is all about. Back in August, Conor McGregor won a majority decision in his rematch with Nate Diaz, and a decent portion of MMA fans cried foul over the verdict and how McGregor chose to fight. A little over a month later, John Dodson dropped a split decision to John Lineker at UFC Fight Night 96, and the same outburst over Dodson’s fighting style erupted on social media.
