A fighter who scores a knockdown becomes the overwhelming favorite to win the fight, no matter what people thought coming in to the match. It also usually takes just one knockdown to finish a fight.

How do you count points in UFC?

UFC fights are scored based on a ten-point must system. Three judges score each round separately, giving 10 points to the winner of the round and 9 or less (8 or very rarely 7) based on how dominant one fighter was in a particular round. The round can also go 10-10, but it is very uncommon.
