Unbelievable a judge gave the fight to Tanner. If this was EliteXC and Tanner was Kimbo I would say a judge got bought off. But I guess this shows that judges, just like refs, can be incompetent no matter what organization and no what fighter. There's no conspiracy, it's just stupidity.
I have a guess on why the judge scored it like that. He probably viewed takedowns, which Tanner had more of, more strongly than strikes that do damage which Grove dominated.
Bas Rutten summed up how to fix this problem best, takedowns should not be scored if the fighter doesn't do anything after the takedown. Tanner in this fight is a classic case of that.
