At the time, it didn&#8217;t matter to those two warriors. It may still not. They both lifted their hands and embraced, knowing that they just put on the fight of their lives. Bobby Green may not have an issue with the result, but he does have a few words to say about the current state of judging in the UFC.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>\u201cI don\u2019t feel like we have good judges.\u00a0<\/span><span>I can\u2019t even care what the judges think. Sometimes, they\u2019re totally on, and sometimes, they\u2019re totally off. That\u2019s the way it is in our sport.\u00a0<\/span>We don\u2019t get enough credit for who\u2019s pressing the action. A lot of times, one guy chases the other guy around, and he ticks and tacks and runs, but he doesn\u2019t get the credit for being the aggressor. Even though we say we judge upon aggression and cage control, they don\u2019t give enough credit to those things. Because if I don\u2019t push the fight, there is no fight. We\u2019ll just be standing there looking at each other. But nobody understands that. Until you\u2019ve fought, you wouldn\u2019t understand that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FightMotion?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FightMotion<\/a> from the brawl between <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BobbyKGreen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BobbyKGreen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GroovyLando?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GroovyLando<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NjX3vyEE1X\">pic.twitter.com\/NjX3vyEE1X<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lucas Grandsire (@GrandsireMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrandsireMMA\/status\/918145465442623488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMaybe we could finish it up. I was really catching on to what [Lando Vannata] was doing more, and my punches were more effective. I think that would be awesome if we could have another round. But at the same time, does that constitute more pay? You do want to find a winner, and the crowd wants to see more action.\u00a0But to be honest, they want to see action at the expense of two good guys, two great fighters. Should we get paid more for that? I\u2019m all down for it. You\u2019re asking me to fight more, but are you asking to pay me more? I\u2019m all down for the fight, don\u2019t get me wrong, but there\u2019s two human beings losing their lives. I took shots and he took shots.

What if they added another round in fights that end in a draw? It&#8217;s the same thing they do on The Ultimate Fighter by granting a third round. Of course, not only could this interfere with broadcast time restrains, but Green would want to get paid more. It&#8217;s an interesting concept, but draws are still pretty few and far between in MMA.
