What is "majority draw"

n. (context competitive fighting English) an outcome in several full-contact combat sports where the majority of judges (usually two out of three) agree that neither fighter won, while the third judge indicates one fighter being the clear winner on his/her scorecard.

A majority draw is an outcome in several full-contact combat sports, including boxing, mixed martial arts, and others 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 clear 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 clear victory on his/her card to one fighter.

The 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).
