ONE’s Chatri Sityodtong criticizes MMA’s 10-point scoring system: ‘Allows for pitter-pattering to win a fight’

Singapore-based ONE Championship is days away from its U.S. debut. With the first ONE event on American soil comes new fighters, rule sets and scoring criteria.

Sityodtong is excited to see how some potential new viewers in the U.S. respond to the scoring that will be used at ONE Fight Night 10 on Friday in Broomfield, Colo.
