No internal changes with this update… but the following is food for thought:
Due to the ongoing problem of controversial decisions, I’ve been tossing around the idea of adding a press score average and factoring it in as a 4th official judge for fights. MMADecisions.com is a great resource for this info and is almost certainly where I’d get the data.
As a quick relevant example on how this’d work: Last night’s Dariush/Johnson would be treated as a draw in the rating system, because the 4th judge would make it 2-2.
What do you think about this possible change?

In summary, it’d be more work in terms of code changes, data gathering and validation. Furthermore, fighters’ performances in their next couple bouts tend to negate bad decisions. However, I think including a press score average provides a more accurate, immediate picture and the “tilt” factor is pretty minimal.
