If the scoring system is based upon the 10 pt round scoring system, I'm not sure how to get around this unless you automatically score the round 10-8 whenever someone inflicts more damage.

10-8 is usually if someone gets a point deducted or is close to being knocked out but saved by the bell. Clearly that didn't happen in this fight. Johnny didn't look bad because GSP didn't get his elbow shots in that could have cut him.
Johhny was over confident and let up the 5th round-he only has himself to blame. If GSP was sooo hurt he wouldn't have dominated johnny in the 5th round with 2-0 on takedowns- 10-0 kicks to the face and twice the strikes landed. Maybe he should have spent less time trash talking and more time wathing film on GSP and how he outpoints his opponents and get victories.
GSP had a pretty close submission attempt as well to Johnnies 0 tries.
