UFC 83 TPR Report and Updated Career Reports
The TPR data for UFC 83 is up today, with stats for the six fights on the telecast. In addition, the career reports of Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra have been updated to include their latest fight.
One interesting note: Quarry gets a TPR of 61, proving that it's tough to put in an above-average performance when your opponent won't engage. Starnes' TPR of 24 is not exactly fair. The system awards him 10 points just for surviving to a decision, which is usually something of an accomplishment. Conceivably, if more fighters start using the "Starnes Strategy" we'd have to modify the equation. But we'd probably stop watching the sport before it ever came to that.

As always, great analysis. Your post is linked at MMA Ratings (www.mmaratings.net) (formerly MMA Kamander).
Fightmetric mentioned a while back that the overall success rate of a TD attempt is 48%. What would this number be if we took out UFC/K-1/Pride matches?
I think your system may still work for the Quarry/Starnes match. Consider that as you mentioned on Yahoo, according to the dimishing returns maybe this should have been a 10/6 round. I think the judges would never give that score mostly based on the lack of precedent. You would think that the loosing fighter would never survive a round that bad. Well, one think to consider is that perhaps the referee should have intervened and started taking points away. You are not allowe to run away during a fight.
