after watching randy cpt america hug and kiss a win
over brandon "the truth"and sugar rashads win over
silva , i think theres needs to be revamped.
my suggestion the extra round , after sugars stratergy of
squeaking out 2 first rounds all he has to do is play DEFENSIVE
3 rd round in other words the fight is in the bag,how many times
ive heard mr.goldberg say hes gotta come out now and k.o him ,
shit thats freaking hard,so even if rashads backpeddaling and
whatever tactics greg come up with , the judges can institute
another round kindof like the ultimate fighter , i thiago wins that
the fight is ruled a draw which i thought was more appropriate,
same shit for couture ,
now in the case for shogun vs.machida , machida looked on
his way to lose if another round was there ,now i agree with
goldberg give shougun another round to . k.o him , if
shougun wins that round make it 3 round to 3 rounds in
which case machida STILL keeps the belt , SO i just dont
like the way it is , how about no rounds at all?any thoughts?
we need a more FAIR system

1stly, punctuation is your friend. Use it

It's strategy.
If I'm winning the 1st 2 rounds, I've got no need to push too hard and risk a cheap loss.
Equally, if I've lost 2 rounds, it's my fault that I'm down and my responsibility to get a clean win.

So you're proposing a 30 minute fight for championships, and a 20 minute normally?
And this extra round is to help create draws?
One of the best things about MMA, is there's always a winner and always a loser.
People records read 12-5-0 because Draws/NC are rare as Pope's jizz, and you always walk away knowing who your winner was.

how about no rounds at all

Stupid idea.
By 5 minuets into a fight, I'm (personally) exhausted. I need to step back, get some water & re-think. Take that away, and BIG mistakes will come
To have a no rounds means that it can only end by KO or submission.
If people are tired, then the chances of getting KOed are higher, and the more you are KOed, the higher your chance of being KOed.
If I'm tired and applying a submission, I may not have full control on it, and could SERIOUSLY hurt my opponent. No-one wants to seriously hurt their opponent!


This whole idea sounds like a pro-wrestling take on a legit sport. The last time that happened, the XFL folded within a season!
