Ridiculous idea. 3 minute rounds are not enough time for an MMA fight.
"If I could change the system, I'd do a few things," Pearson continued. "The fights have changed so much in MMA. It's in like a second generation now, and the fighters are evolving. The judging needs to change too. I'd like to see the fights go five, three-minute rounds, because I think it's easier to judge a fight over five rounds than it is three."
"Also, we need to look at why kicking and punching someone isn't at least the same amount of points [as] pressing someone up against the fence is. I guess it's control but it's in a different way and often not as effective."
