Dandrsn420 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 If I could make one change to the UFC, I would make EVERY fight 5 rounds. I think several of last nights fights would have turned out differently. Why title fights are almost twice as long makes no sense to me. I'm not to astute when it comes to boxing, but I don't believe their title fights are twice as many rounds. The Superbowl isn't twice as long. The NBA, MLB, or NHL championship series aren't twice as long. Why are the UFC's? Well that's what I would change, I'd like to hear if y'all agree or disagree, or if you would change something else. Seems like a good topic for discussion/debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raoullduke Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 i've thought the same thing before. but they wouldn't be able to show as many fights on each card, and fighters would get injured more making it harder to arange other shows in advance. i don't know if it would be a good idea or not.

Rampage got beat, and they are stupid enough to not be ultimately convinced that Rashad is simply a better fighter/wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many kiddies running amuck on this board and complaining about everything while they clearly have little to no knowledge on the subjects at hand.

JMan420 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 if I could change one thing it would be the scoring. I think the rounds are fine, the length is fine. To me, a 5 round fight is for the elite fighters. Only the best of the best can go for 5 rounds. So it makes sense to me to have the title fights 5 rounds. Comparing MMA to other sports doesn't hold any water, because MMA is a totally different beast, and we all know this. To me somehting has to be done about the scoring. What? I don't know. Using the compubox numbers, or something, would be a start I suppose. But that doesn't always mean that because someone landed more strikes they should have won the fight.

BYBrawl Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 One thing I'd change would be the value of TDD. Like its almost as if it's 5 TD stuff's to one TD ratio or something. Fighter can stop countless takedown attempts, but that one TD gives wayyy more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameis Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 If I could change one thing, I would incorporate the WEC and modify the number of divisions and their weight limits. Not saying it needs to happen, but it is what I would do if I had the power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scoring inside the octagon goes by Effective striking, grappling, aggression, and octagon control. A spawl stops the other opponents aggression but doesn't really score any points based on the scoring system. A successful takedown is effective grappling, aggression, and octagon control rolled into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijosef Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 If I could have anything I wanted, I'd have a different ruleset. Basically I'd adopt a set of rules similar to those used in the first three UFC events. Soccer kicks, knees to a grounded opponent, elbows to the back of the head, groin strikes, etc. Granted the fighters' careers wouldn't be as long, but it sure would be interesting from a spectator standpoint!

Tim_A Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Every fight going 5 rounds would be good. But if i had to change one thing i would formalize a point system for the judging and make it less subjective. Putting yellow cards in would be a damn good improvement too though.

KingOfAllFighting Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I would ban wrestling from the UFC...

dimalder3463 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 id say change the scoring system.....wrestling gets the edge in that department since takedowns or putting someone againts the cage give WAY too much favortism to get the decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
