Majority Decision (MD)

Majority Decision (MD)

Fight Outcome

Definition

A outcome where two judges score the fight for one fighter, and the third judge scores it a draw. The majority (2 of 3) favor one fighter, so that fighter wins, but one judge saw it dead even.

Formula

*N/A*

Example

Fighter A wins by **majority decision** – say Judge1: 115-113 A, Judge2: 114-114 draw, Judge3: 116-112 A. Fighter A gets the win (two judges in favor vs. one draw). From a betting perspective, this is typically just graded as a win by decision for Fighter A, but it reflects a very close contest (one judge didn’t see a winner).
