How would 3x3 minute rounds do? How many fights should be on a card?

[NotoriousMillions]

7 rounds is just hell for the fighters. The fight card would practically be on the entire day.

Clearly not for every fighter. Some fights need to go 7 rounds though. Most prelim fights should still be 3.

I miss when WMMA was 3x3 minute rounds...

As a Conor hater I concede he would probably be goat in 3 3 minute round fights.

Terrible. You got to give fighters the chance to work. I'd rather have one 15 minute round.

3 rounds five minutes for regular fights

5 rounds five minutes for non title main event

7 rounds five minutes for title fight

Fun fact - If they had 4 minute rounds, they could have a 4-man tourney, as two 12 minute fights (24 minutes) is under the limit for cage time (25 minutes.)

Shorter rounds favor strikers. So I guess most of sherdog would like it.

A few of the heavyweights just puked and fell down from reading his.
