A majority draw is an outcome in several full-contact combat sports, including boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), and other sports involving striking. In a majority draw, two of the three judges agree that neither fighter won (i.e. tied scorecards), while the third judge indicates one fighter being the winner on his/her scorecard.[1] Thus, the majority of judges see the outcome as even and the result is announced as such, although one judge gave a victory on his/her card to one fighter.

This outcome is one of the rarest judged decisions in professional boxing and MMA, apart from a unanimous draw (where all three judges score the fight as a tie), or a split draw (where one judge scores one fighter the winner, a second judge scores the other fighter the winner, and the third judge scores the fight a draw).

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
A majority draw is a decision outcome in full-contact combat sports such as and (MMA), where two of three judges score the bout as even, while the third judge awards the victory to one fighter, resulting in an overall tie with no winner declared. This verdict arises under the standard 10-point must scoring system employed in these sports, where judges evaluate each round based on effective striking, , aggression, and ring generalship, assigning 10 points to the winner of a round and 9 or fewer to the loser. In MMA, the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) Unified Rules explicitly define a majority draw as occurring when two judges score the bout a draw, distinguishing it from a unanimous draw (all three judges score even) or a split draw (judges score differently but totals result in a tie). The same principle applies in , where judges' scorecards determine the result after the scheduled rounds, and a majority draw reflects closely contested fights without a clear dominant performer. Majority draws are relatively rare, often sparking debate among fans and analysts due to the single dissenting scorecard, but they underscore the subjective nature of combat sports judging. A prominent recent example is the July 19, 2025, WBC title bout between and , scored 114-114 by two judges and 115-113 for Barrios by the third, allowing Barrios to retain his championship via the draw. In such cases, the outcome typically leads to no change in titles or rankings, though rematches may follow if the fight garners significant interest.

Overview

Definition

In combat sports such as , (MMA), , and , judges evaluate fighters' performances over a series of rounds to determine the outcome of a bout. These sports typically employ a panel of three ringside judges who score each round independently using a point-based system, assessing factors like effective striking, aggression, and ring generalship without direct influence from one another. A draw is declared when two of the three judges score the entire bout as even, while the third judge scores it in favor of one fighter, leading to no overall victor. This result reflects a closely contested fight where the majority consensus favors neither competitor, preserving both fighters' records without a loss. This judging structure ensures impartiality and balances subjective evaluations across the panel, distinguishing majority draws from other outcomes like unanimous decisions.

Role in combat sports

In professional combat sports such as and (MMA), a majority draw serves as a mechanism to declare no victor when two of three judges score the bout even, while the third favors one fighter, ensuring outcomes reflect closely contested performances without forcing an arbitrary winner. This ruling prevents title changes in contests, with the defending champion retaining their belt, as the absence of a clear victor maintains the in divisional hierarchies. In cases of a majority draw, fighters receive their contracted base pay, known as show money in MMA, without win bonuses. The predetermined purse split agreed upon before the fight applies, regardless of the outcome. Majority draws occur infrequently, comprising less than 1% of professional bouts in major organizations like the (UFC) as of 2025, where all draws total approximately 0.6% historically. In under unified rules, they similarly represent a rare verdict, emphasizing their utility in resolving razor-thin margins without undermining the sport's decisiveness. Post-fight, a majority draw influences fighter rankings minimally, as it neither advances nor significantly penalizes standings in official lists from bodies like the UFC or sanctioning organizations, but it frequently prompts immediate rematch clauses in contracts to capitalize on unresolved rivalries and fan interest. This procedural resolution can elevate bouts to status in follow-ups, focusing on over stakes while allowing time for strategic adjustments.

Types of Draws

Majority draw

A majority draw is a decision outcome in combat sports like and (MMA), where two of the three judges score the bout as even, while the third judge scores it in favor of one fighter, resulting in an overall due to the majority consensus on equality. This mechanic ensures that a single dissenting opinion does not determine a winner when the fight is deemed too close for a clear victor by most judges. Under the standard 10-point must scoring system, the two judges awarding the typically score multiple rounds as 10-10 (even) or balance out 10-9 scores across rounds to reach identical totals for both competitors, while the third judge's slight edge—often from differing round assessments—fails to sway the . The following example scorecard illustrates a majority draw from the welterweight title fight between and Stephen Thompson on November 12, 2016:
JudgeScorecard
Derek Cleary47-47 (draw)
Douglas Crosby47-47 (draw)
Glenn Trowbridge48-47 (Woodley)
In this five-round bout, the two even scores reflected balanced action, but the third judge's 48-47 for Woodley—likely from awarding an extra round—did not override the majority, preserving Woodley's title via draw. Majority draws occur in razor-close fights where judges minimally disagree on which fighter demonstrated greater dominance, highlighting the subjective nature of scoring in highly competitive matches without a decisive edge.

Split draw

A split draw in combat sports, including and (MMA), occurs when the three judges deliver divided scorecards: one favors Fighter A, another favors Fighter B, and the third records the bout as even, preventing any fighter from securing a and resulting in an official draw. This outcome reflects a highly competitive fight where no clear consensus emerges on a winner. Unlike a majority draw, where two judges agree on equality, a split draw highlights stark divisions in judicial interpretation without a prevailing draw score. A representative scorecard might show Judge 1 scoring Fighter A 96-94, Judge 2 scoring Fighter B 96-94, and Judge 3 calling it 95-95, tallying to a draw. In practice, such as the 2017 super middleweight boxing clash between and , judges scored it 118-110 for Álvarez, 115-113 for Golovkin, and 114-114, yielding a split draw. Similarly, the 2023 UFC women's flyweight title rematch between and ended 48-47 for Grasso, 48-47 for Shevchenko, and 47-47. Split draws remain uncommon, comprising only a fraction of bout outcomes in major promotions, and are frequently deemed more contentious than other draws owing to the absence of any majority alignment, often igniting debates over judging accuracy and fight quality among spectators and experts.

Unanimous draw

In combat sports such as and (MMA), a unanimous draw is a decision rendered when all three judges independently score the bout as even, with no fighter deemed the winner based on the accumulated points from completed rounds. This outcome reflects complete agreement among the judges that neither competitor demonstrated sufficient superiority to claim victory under the applicable scoring criteria. According to the Nevada Rules of Unarmed Combat, which govern bouts in many jurisdictions, a unanimous draw is one of the recognized draw types alongside majority and split draws. Similarly, the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts explicitly define it as occurring "when all three judges score the bout a draw." A typical example scorecard for a unanimous draw in a 12-round championship fight would show all judges tallying identical even scores, such as 114-114 or 115-115, derived from the 10-point must system where even rounds are scored 10-10 and others reflect marginal differences that ultimately balance out. For instance, in the February 28, 2009, WBC title bout between Chris John and held at the in , , all three judges scored the fight 114-114, resulting in a unanimous draw that preserved John's undefeated record at the time. This even scoring underscores the judges' consensus on the fight's competitive equilibrium across the distance. Unanimous draws are uncommon in professional combat sports, particularly in high-stakes title or main event contests where promotional pressures often favor decisive results to maintain and fan . They tend to arise more frequently in non-title or matches, where the emphasis is on showcasing skill without the need for a clear victor, though they remain a legitimate outcome in evenly matched encounters that highlight the subjective nature of judging. In contrast to split or draws, the unanimous variety eliminates any ambiguity from dissenting opinions, providing a unified on the bout's parity.

Scoring Mechanics

Judge decision process

In combat sports such as and (MMA), the judge decision process employs the 10-Point Must System to evaluate bouts round by round, ensuring an objective tally without an overarching fight-level assessment. Three judges independently score each round, awarding 10 points to the perceived winner and 9 points to the loser for a close round, 10-10 points for an even round where neither fighter demonstrates clear superiority, or 10-8 points if one fighter achieves dominance, such as through a knockdown or overwhelming control without a stoppage. This per-round scoring allows for ties in individual rounds, promoting neutral evaluation focused solely on the action within each segment rather than a holistic of the entire contest. After the final round concludes, judges submit their scorecards detailing points for each fighter per round, which are then aggregated by totaling the points across all rounds for each competitor. The or official supervisor reviews these totals from all three judges to determine the outcome; if two judges' totals indicate a draw while the third favors a winner, the result is declared a majority draw, reflecting the prevailing consensus without overriding the minority view. This aggregation step occurs post-fight in a controlled environment, often immediately before the announcement, to maintain integrity and prevent external influences. The process underscores the system's emphasis on majority agreement among judges, distinguishing majority draws from unanimous or split variants by prioritizing balanced scoring outcomes.

Criteria for scoring rounds

In combat sports such as and (MMA), judges evaluate each round based on a set of standardized criteria to determine which fighter, if any, gains the advantage, with even performances potentially resulting in tied scores that contribute to outcomes. The primary factors include clean and effective or striking, effective , ring or generalship, defense, and the damage inflicted on the opponent. These elements are assessed holistically, prioritizing the overall impact rather than isolated actions, and rounds are deemed even when the criteria balance out without a clear superior performer. Both and MMA employ the 10-point must system as the foundational scoring mechanism, where the winner of a round receives 10 points, the loser receives 9 or fewer, and an even round is scored 10-10 to reflect parity. In , clean punching—defined as legal blows to the head or body—takes precedence, followed by effective (advancing with purposeful attacks), ring generalship (controlling the pace and positioning), and defense (evading or countering effectively), with from accumulated strikes influencing the final assessment. MMA's Unified Rules similarly emphasize effective striking and as the top priority, evaluating the immediate and cumulative from legal techniques, while and control of the fighting area serve as secondary ties only if striking and are equal; is explicitly the most valued outcome, as it directly results from superior execution. This system ensures that close or balanced rounds, scored 10-10, accumulate to potentially even overall tallies, paving the way for majority draws when judges diverge on other rounds. Judging involves inherent subjectivity, as criteria like and control can be interpreted differently based on a fighter's style, but officials undergo rigorous training to minimize and focus on verifiable actions. For instance, in both disciplines, judges are instructed to score only what they can objectively justify, awarding 10-10 scores conservatively for truly competitive rounds to accurately capture parity without forcing artificial winners. This approach, while promoting fairness, underscores how evenly matched bouts often lead to draws through a series of balanced round scores.

History and Evolution

Origins in boxing

The concept of a in predates formal scoring systems, tracing back to the late when many professional bouts were conducted under "no decision" rules due to legal restrictions on prizefighting . In these unregulated contests, outcomes were often determined informally through newspaper decisions, where ringside journalists voted or reached a consensus on the winner for betting purposes; ties were frequently declared when fights were deemed too close to call, reflecting an early recognition of evenly matched performances without an official verdict. With the legalization of boxing via the Walker Law in 1920, which established the (NYSAC) as the first government regulatory body, structured judging emerged to oversee professional fights. During the 1920s and 1930s, the predominant scoring method was the "rounds-won" system, where judges simply tallied rounds won by each fighter (e.g., 6-4), allowing for even rounds that could result in ties without granular point assessment; this era saw official draws codified in rules, though they remained subjective and varied by jurisdiction. A pivotal advancement occurred in the 1940s with the introduction of the five-point must system by state commissions, while the experimented with a 10-point variant during the same period, assigning points based on round dominance (e.g., 5-4 for a close win). This evolved into the modern 10-point must system, formally adopted in 1968 by the (WBC) to provide greater precision and uniformity, mandating 10 points for the round winner and 9 or fewer for the loser, while explicitly permitting 10-10 scores for even rounds to facilitate draws. The standardized 10-point system enabled the first official majority draws in major title fights during the , as judges could more consistently score rounds evenly, leading to outcomes where two of three scorecards tied while the third favored one fighter; this marked a shift from earlier ambiguous ties to verifiable consensus in high-stakes bouts.

Adoption in MMA and other sports

The Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, developed by the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) and adopted in November 2000, integrated 's established draw mechanisms—including the majority draw—into standardized MMA judging protocols to ensure fair outcomes in regulated bouts. This adoption marked a significant step in professionalizing MMA, aligning it with traditional combat sports while accommodating the sport's unique grappling and striking elements. The rules explicitly define a majority draw as occurring when two judges score the bout even and the third scores a win for one fighter. In practice, the first majority draw under these rules in the (UFC) took place at UFC on FX 2 on March 3, 2012, between and Ian McCall, where judges scored it 29-28 for McCall, 28-28, and 28-28. This outcome, initially misannounced as a , highlighted the system's application in high-stakes flyweight tournament bouts and prompted immediate clarification by UFC officials. Beyond MMA, similar judging systems spread to other striking-based sports in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Kickboxing promotions like K-1, which rose to prominence in the 1990s, incorporated draw provisions inspired by , allowing judges to declare even bouts based on majority consensus to resolve closely contested matches without extensions. In Muay Thai, —launched in 2011—adopted the 10-point must scoring system for its bouts in the 2010s, enabling majority draws when two of three judges tally identical scores and the third favors one competitor, promoting consistency with global combat sports standards. During the 2010s, the ABC further standardized these practices across disciplines by issuing unified rules for in and kickboxing in , ensuring uniform criteria for draws and decisions in professional events overseen by member commissions. This harmonization reduced discrepancies in judging and enhanced athlete protections in an expanding array of combat sports.

Notable Examples

Boxing matches

One of the most infamous majority draws in boxing history occurred on September 10, 1993, when undefeated champion Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker faced in , , for Chávez's WBC super lightweight title. The 12-round bout saw Whitaker dominate with superior footwork and defense, landing cleaner shots while frustrating the Mexican legend, yet the judges scored it 115-115 twice and 115-113 for Whitaker, resulting in a majority draw that retained Chávez's title. This outcome sparked widespread controversy, with many experts, including HBO commentator , decrying it as a robbery favoring the popular Chávez, ultimately leading to no rematch and damaging perceptions of judging integrity. In the super middleweight division, a high-profile unification bout between and on January 14, 2017, at the in ended in another contentious majority draw. DeGale, the IBF champion, and Jack, the WBC titleholder, engaged in a competitive war over 12 rounds, with Jack rallying late after DeGale's early pressure; the scorecards read 114-112 for DeGale and 113-113 twice, allowing both to retain their belts. Promoter criticized the decision as favoring a draw for financial reasons, fueling calls for a rematch that materialized later that year, though it also ended inconclusively. More recently, on July 19, 2025, at the in , 46-year-old Hall of Famer challenged WBC welterweight champion in a comeback fight after a four-year hiatus. Pacquiao's speed and volume punching kept the bout close, but Barrios' power and resilience shone through, leading to scores of 114-114 twice and 115-113 for Barrios, a majority draw that preserved Barrios' title. The result disappointed the pro-Pacquiao crowd but highlighted Pacquiao's enduring skill at advanced age, prompting immediate discussions of a potential rematch to settle the score. Majority draws in , particularly in title fights like these, often occur during closely contested defenses or unification bouts, preserving the champion's status while generating hype for rematches and boosting promotional revenue through unresolved rivalries.

MMA bouts

One of the earliest notable majority draws in UFC history occurred at in 2011, where faced in a bout that served as a potential title eliminator. The three-round fight was intensely competitive, with Penn's striking and exchanges keeping Fitch's wrestling at bay in key moments, but the judges' scorecards reflected the closeness: two scored it 28-28, while the third favored Fitch 29-28, resulting in a majority draw. This outcome preserved both fighters' records and highlighted the precision required in non-title fights under the UFC's scoring system. In 2016, featured a landmark majority draw in the championship main event between champion and challenger Stephen Thompson. The five-round battle showcased Thompson's elite karate-style striking against Woodley's power and pressure, with neither fighter able to secure a decisive edge despite several near-finishes, including Woodley's late attempt. Judges scored two cards at 47-47 and one at 48-47 for Woodley, leading to the draw and setting up a highly anticipated rematch at , which drew significant interest and underscored the commercial impact of such results in title bouts. Majority draws have also appeared in flyweight title fights, as seen at in 2020 between champion and . The co-main event was a grueling five-round war marked by high-volume striking and clinch work, with Figueiredo edging the early rounds but Moreno's resilience shining through. The scorecards read 48-46 for Figueiredo on one card and 47-47 on the other two, yielding a majority draw that allowed Figueiredo to retain the belt and prompted a trilogy that elevated the division's profile. These outcomes illustrate trends in MMA, particularly within the UFC, where majority draws are infrequent but more prevalent in five-round championship formats that extend the duration and intensify scrutiny on close exchanges, such as ground control and effective aggression under the unified rules. From to 2023, the UFC recorded 46 total draws across all events, with a notable portion involving title implications due to the added rounds amplifying scoring variances. While incidents like the 2023 UFC interim title fight between and initially sparked speculation of a draw amid its blistering pace, it ultimately ended in a first-round victory for Aspinall, reinforcing that true draws remain rare exceptions rather than norms in the division.

Controversies and Impact

Criticisms of majority draws

One key criticism of majority draws in combat sports centers on the inherent subjectivity of judging, where the of a single judge—who scores one fighter as the winner—effectively nullifies their assessment without resolution, potentially undermining the perceived fairness of the outcome. This mechanism can lead to accusations of "" even in draws, as the ignored scorecard raises questions about whether the fight was truly even or if influenced the majority's view. For instance, in closely contested bouts, the third judge's differing perspective highlights inconsistencies in how criteria like effective striking or are applied, fostering doubt in the system's objectivity. Majority draws often provoke significant backlash from fans and media, who view them as an unsatisfying "cop-out" in sports that emphasize decisive victories, sometimes resulting in audible disapproval from crowds. In the 2025 Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach bout, the announcement of a majority draw elicited boos from the audience, with spectators and commentators decrying it as a controversial evasion of a clear winner despite Roach's late surge. Similarly, the 2025 vs. fight saw the erupt in boos upon the draw declaration, with media outlets labeling it a "robbery" of Pacquiao's dominant performance and fueling debates on judging integrity. fighters echoed this sentiment, with reactions like "such BS" underscoring the frustration over outcomes that fail to reflect the fight's intensity. Critics further argue that the statistical rarity of draws stems from judging rules that inherently favor declaring a winner, making such results feel like a of the training process rather than a legitimate reflection of evenly matched competitors. In , draws occur in only about 2-3% of matches, largely because judges are instructed to score rounds with a winner unless absolutely tied, prioritizing metrics that rarely align perfectly. In MMA, such as UFC events, the draw rate is even lower, hovering around 0-0.5% annually, as the 10-point must discourages even scoring and emphasizes picking a victor per round. This , embedded in official guidelines from bodies like the Association of Boxing Commissions, leads detractors to contend that majority draws expose flaws in a designed to avoid at the expense of nuance.

Effects on fighters and promotions

A majority draw results in neither fighter receiving a win on their professional record, which can interrupt career momentum by preventing advancement in divisional standings or title contention. In the UFC, where rankings are determined by a media voting panel, a draw typically yields minimal upward movement, as voters prioritize decisive victories over shared outcomes; for instance, fighters involved in draws often remain static or drop slightly if competitors secure wins in subsequent events. However, this outcome preserves a fighter's undefeated streak in terms of losses, allowing records like 10-0-1 to be marketed as "unbeaten," which helps sustain marketability and negotiating power in future bouts. Financially, fighters earn their guaranteed "show" money in a majority draw but forfeit the win bonus, which is often equal to the show amount, effectively halving potential from the fight. To mitigate this, promotions like the UFC frequently "Fight of the Night" bonuses—typically $50,000—to participants in competitive draws, providing additional compensation and recognition. Rematch clauses or guarantees are sometimes negotiated post-draw to ensure future paydays, particularly for high-profile matchups. For promotions, majority draws create opportunities to capitalize on unresolved rivalries, often generating hype for sequels that boost event attendance and sales. Notable examples include the 2016 welterweight between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson at , which ended in a majority draw and prompted an immediate rematch at , drawing significant fan interest; similarly, the 2020 flyweight title majority draw between and at led to multiple follow-up bouts, extending the rivalry across four fights and enhancing the division's visibility. These outcomes allow organizers to schedule high-stakes rematches without a clear victor diluting the storyline, though they risk fan dissatisfaction if perceived as inconclusive.
