I think judging the fight as a whole and doing away with rounds is better than what we currently have
That's a perfectly acceptable opinion. My opinion is giong fully qualitative and "open to interpretation" with it would make things MUCH worse than a quantitative method. But I can absolutely see how that kind of system addresses some problems in the 10 point must system (e.g. no coasting after rounds are banked, taking a point for a foul doesn't automatically give the fight away).
I'd also say that you have fights like Rico Rodriguez vs Nog and Rampage vs Ninja Rua that were contested under those rules that are commonly regarded as some of the most blatant robberies in MMA history.
But there are no right answers here.
