10 round fights to end rematches?

What is stopping 10 round fights?

Designated length of broadcast.

If you went with 10 round fights, one fight would take more than an hour. You'd get 3 fights per event at most. Besides most viewers wouldn't want to see 2 guys trying to not gas for an hour.

Not entertaining, not lucrative, not feasible, just not a good idea.
 
If nobody is getting finished in five rounds.....the fight is probably going to a decision unless you made it unlimited time. The old ufc had 1 round fights that were 30 mins straight and went to a draw with two exhausted guys.
 
One 20 minute round.

Wrestlers would just lay on strikers for 20 minutes. The fact that every round starts standing gives strikers a competitive chance. Think of SILVA / SONNEN, lol. Without re-starting rounds I don't think Silva ever would have gotten off the ground.

Then those strikers have no bizness being there in the first place.
