Please help settle a long running dispute regarding an MMA fighter's record! Some say that he has never lost a round, some say that he has! The fighter is Lyoto Machida.

The following are his two most difficult fights and this is where the dispute lies, Unfortunately, the commentary is in Japanese so we need your help!

If you understand Japanese would you mind listening to the following two youtube videos and telling me what the verdict is in the following two fights?

First, we need to know if the fight was scored in rounds e.g. 30-27 or was the fight just judged in it's entirety.

Then, if the fights were judged in rounds, please tell what the judges scores were... if the fight was judged in it's entirety, what was the ruling?

The first fight is here: The verdict is given at 6:00.

The second fight is here: The verdict is given at 9:10

Thanks for taking you time with this! Cheers!

I know absolutely nothing about the rules of this sport, but-

First fight- "Judge ---'s (couldn't understand the name) decision, 30 to 29, Ryoto. Judge Tyler's decision, 30 to 30 Ryoto. Judge McGee's decision, 29 to 29 Ryoto. Final decision, Ryoto's win." (*not sure if the names are correct, btw, that's just what it sounded like to me).

Second fight- the English voice over says exactly the same thing as the Japanese announcer. 1st judge picked the other guy, the next 2 judges picked Ryoto, so Ryoto wins by majority.
