A Split Decision Win For The Belt Makes No Sense
The belt should signify the undisputed best fighter in the weight class. There should be no discussion about it. Obviously we don't live in a perfect world and there are going to be even matches but what happened at the UFC 215 main event should be avoided.
Let's take a loo back at Wonderboy vs Woodley 1. The fight was close and scored a draw, but it could've easily also by pure chance been a split decision victory for either fighter. Either way that fight needed to be rematched because our questions weren't answered. The second fight was also ridiculously close, but regardless it needed to happen. We have the same situation here with Nunes and Shevchenko.
The fight was very close, but instead of being scored a draw, it's scored a split decision, and now no rematch will be warranted. The fight was so close I can't see how anyone could score it anything else than a draw. Now the belt loses it's shine. It's completely unclear who the winner is...
