3, 5 min rounds or 5, 3 min rounds?

That bump sucks, man.

Shit thread then... Very much still a shit thread. 4 months changed nothing.

It's a year and 4 months for the record. You're right I should have just started the same thread like everyone else does here. From someone with 8k posts since April you dont have what could be considered discerning taste when if comes to posting.

Only system I liked better than the current, was the Pride 10,5. You can't have 3 minute rounds in this sport.thonk of how often the fighters are on the cage for 2 minutes before someone breaks free or gets taken down.

Cmon dude....I understand where you're going with it, but 5 minutes is short enough.

With all of the talk of injury pull outs I think this topic is relevant. Training for 5 min round is one of the major reason for so many injuries in training.

I think reducing round lengths to 3 mins would help decrease the number of injuries that occur during training. It would have an effect on the effectiveness of grappling this would be offset by fewer judging controversies as round would be easier to judge, and the loss of fewer main events.
