Metamoris and draws
Why do some people hate draws so much?
Jake Shields vs Roberto Satoshi was “technically” a draw but everyone knows Jake beat him, even Satoshi admitted it in the post fight interview. What’s there to be mad about again? It was clear Jake won, we all know who is better, who cares where they decide to type in “draw” on whatever database they use to keep track of grapplers records. From what everyone saw in that match, we know who has better nogi Jiu Jitsu, it was crazy clear who won.
Now if a match is not as clear as Jake’s match then fuck it, it’s a draw, so what. Why would people be mad because a match got declared a draw? Especially if it could’ve gone either way.
I should hate draws more than anyone, I clearly beat Royler yet technically it was declared a draw. I’m not pissed AT ALL. Why? Because the world knows I won and that’s all that matters to me, I don’t care what it says in this holy database that BJJ fans live by.
If a fight is too close to call, if a fight could’ve gone either way, it SHOULD be a draw, Mma fights included.
Fights won by advantages are the grossest fights ever. A draw like Jake’s fight crushes every single match won by an advantage ever, especially fights that end 0-0.
If you need a winner so bad then go watch EBI or something 🙂
