Dec 11 2010 1 Fight Posts UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck – 4. Jesse Bongfeldt vs. Rafael Natal by Eric Kamander · December 11, 2010 Middleweight bout: Rafael Natal and Jesse Bongfeldt fight to a majority draw (28-28, 28-28, 29-28 Natal). What Do You Think of This Fight/Event?
The fight started with some fast past, though not necessarily high level grappling. Natal wore out as the fight went on and Bongfeldt took over.
I gave Natal the 1st round 1-9, had the 2nd round a draw, and gave the 3rd round to Bongfeldt 10-9. this is a perfect illustration of how a fighter (Bongfeldt) can do more in the fight overall but lose on the round scoring.
Apparently all the judges had Natal 10-9 in rounds 1 & 2. Sal D'Amato and Tony Weeks gave Bongfeldt a 10-8 in the third. John Woodburn went 10-9. I'm wondering if D'Amato & Weeks made up for not scoring the 2nd round a draw with the 10-8 in the 3rd? That definitely wasn't a 10-8.
