Definition of Majority Draw

What does the term "majority draw" mean in the world of combat sports such as boxing or mixed martial arts? What is meant by a "majority draw"?

In professional combat sports, there are three judges that will score a card.

If two of the three judges believe that a fight ended in a draw, while the third judge believes that one of the two fighters won the fight, this will result in a "majority draw", and nobody will be declared the winner.

Majority draws are quite rare in the world of combat sports.

An example of a "majority draw" in the world of mixed martial arts?

On April 27th, 2019, Rory MacDonald took on Jon Fitch in the main event of Bellator 220: MacDonald vs Fitch.

The fight was a close one, and the judges scored the fight the following way:

Judge Ron McCarthy: 47-47
Judge Anthony Maness: 48-46 Fitch
Judge Mike Bell: 47-47

Even though one judge felt as though Fitch won the fight, the other two judges thought it was a draw, and this resulted in a "majority draw".

In this case, MacDonald retained the title, as the belt can't change hands due to a draw, even though one judge felt as though Fitch won the fight.
