When you see controversial decisions in MMA, criticism of the scoring system won't be far behind.

UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler scored another split decision in a win over Carlos Condit Saturday night at UFC 195 and plenty of fighters, fans and media are crying foul.

UFC commentator Joe Rogan called the fight and says it's finally time for MMA to move away from boxing's 10-point must system.

MMA's scoring badly needs an upgrade. There's no way the 5th and 3rd rounds should generate the same score last night. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

When his back is against the wall @Ruthless_RL brings it like no other. That 5th round was a thing of violent beauty. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

The idea that we continue to use boxing's 10 point must system for a completely different sport is inexcusable at this stage. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

Imagine how goofy football would be if quarters were scored as equal 10 - 9 rounds regardless of how much more scoring was done in each. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

Submissions and KO's will always be the most definitive ways to win fights but we should know exactly what points are based on at this stage — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

I think MMA could also benefit from more judges scoring a huge fight. 3 people deciding huge championship decisions doesn't seem smart. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

Judges Derek Cleary and Chris Lee gave Lawler rounds 2, 3 and 5 for a 48-47 decision, while Tony Weeks gave the champ just rounds 2 and 5 for a 48-47 decision for Condit.

Those scoring the fight for Condit have pointed to the stats. According to FightMetric, Condit landed 177 of 497 total strikes while Lawler landed just 93 of 178. Still, Rogan says he isn't necessarily scoring the fight for Condit.

@joerogan so in your opinion, do you think Carlos won clearly? — James St. Ours (@wastedours) January 3, 2016

I would have to watch it again. You could easily score the last round 10 - 8 Lawler. Who knows who won the 3rd. https://t.co/gXJaQWVcAo — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

@joerogan robbie only landed 6 strikes compared to Condit 47 in the 4th, should that be a 10-9? — Will_s14 (@Escalante11_) January 3, 2016

That's where scoring gets weird with a 10 point system. It's so hard to quantify. https://t.co/tGdE7OmBeB — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) January 3, 2016

Interestingly enough, Korean promotion ROAD FC announced on Dec. 9 that it would begin implementing its own "Unlimited Points System."

"In this system, points will be awarded for specific action and activity," ROAD announced. "One point will be given for a clear strike, takedown, near submission, full mont or back mount position, clear control on the ground, and aggression. Five points will be awarded for a knock down.

All points will be accumulated through the entire fight, not round by round, therefore a performance throughout the entire bout will determine the clear winner."
