Make MMA Great Again

[Willek]

No rounds
No time limit

Once a month fighters that actually want to fight show up at whatever designated casino/sporting complex around the country the UFC has chosen.

breaking news, TS:

it was never greater than now

 

[smiles mma]

That sounds absolutely fucking retarded.

Correct.

 

[Mangar]

Bring back bare knuckle

 

[Elysianwing]

More 10-8 rounds based on damage / trying to end the fight
Smaller cage size (similar to WEC sized cage)
Yellow Cards for stalling/timidity/rule violations First yellow card = ineligible for any bonus cash, second = lose a point
Add Knees to the head on the ground and soccer kicks (stomps can stay illegal)
Run an open weight tournament each year with a large money prize so that there is more than just a belt to promote around
Replace the boring commentary teams and get in someone who can generate excitement again like Goldberg or Mauro
Increase fight bonus for finishing fights

I can get behind all of these points.

Youre basically the same as the maga idiots who want to pretend everything was great when you were young and the new generations have ruined everything.

Basically you old AF and lame

Listen to 40 seconds of mumble rap, and pretend like the new generations haven't ruined everything.

Stupid.

We need 1x 10 minutes, 1x5 minutes = 1 fight.
1x10, 3x5 minutes for title-fights and main-events.

Allow kneeing a downed opponent, allow upkicks from guard, allow 12-6 elbows, allow soccer kicks to the body, make the ref unable to stand-up the fighters, etc.

 

[Goon Dog]

I like the idea of 2 rounds with a sudden death if needed. Half the time the first round is just feeling out with no action. Make it more of a fight.

Much like America, MMA was never great. Just a lot of D level athletes fighting over peanuts.

"make the ref unable to stand-up the fighters"

I like most ideas but definitely not a smaller cage. It cheapens the optics , but more importantly, limits skills.

if I googled correctly, a boxing ring has 484 feet². WEC had 520, ufc has 750 (the bigger one). ufc has 48% finishes, wec 60%. and wec had only smaller weight guys. if even the big guys in boxing fight in a 484 feet (is that true, though?), why not MMA guys?

so, the statistics say that it will change, it will change for the better

I'd say bring the smaller cage now

IMO, the biggest issue with smaller cage is that it favors the wrestler, since the smaller the cage, the easier it is for a wrestler to pin his opponent against it. As if wrestlers need more advantages in MMA when wrestling is pretty much the goat martial base.

Honestly a couple of people have pushed back at the idea ofthe smaller cage, but that confuses me. The smaller cage in the WEC forced guys to engage. That’s not a bad thing by any stretch IMO.

Youve posted this trash in another thread already. Ideas on a postcard sent to Dana and see what he does.
