Anyone else feel like each fighter should get a timeout or something ?

Daniel Cormier had a noble phantasm of his own (for the Type Moon fans) where he had the ability to completely ignore a law of physics such that a small amount of mass can just disappear but then the Athletic Commission banned the use of this "technique".

You called Belal an Asian earlier tonight. You’re on a fucking roll, dude.

We should have different like buttons here. Like the basic where agree with the poster and something else where you just find the post so hilarious or otherwise overwhelming and crazy that you like it, but don’t agree with it.
TS would have gotten to second one from me.<45>
 
Yes the only annoying thing about a UFC event is that the event is only 6 hours. With those timeouts we could potentially add 1 more hour. Getting hard just thinking about it.

I could see Rashad calling a time out here:

Can you imagine? Just when the oppo thinks he has it won, Rashad sputters out "time out" and gets two minutes to wake up. He then dusts himself off, and launches a furious assault, almost knocking the other guy dead, but then that guy tries to use HIS timeout, but Rashad gets him in a crucifix and covers his mouth so the ref can't hear the request! Ends in victory for Rashad, lots of twists and turns, but he redeems himself in the end. What a game.

So they have time to recharge or escape danger. It adds an element of strategy into the mix, instead of just forcing them to fight like dogs in a fighting pit with nowhere else to go.

Alternately, they could make the octagon more like a proper cage that has higher walls and also a chain link ceiling. If in danger they could climb the cage to escape, hanging out in a corner like some kind of spider or baboon until they're ready to come fight again.

They could also launch attacks from the walls and drop down from the ceiling on their opponent. It would triple the amount of strategies used and make for a more exciting bout.

This is the level of ignorance in 2023

Imagine Usman staring at the lights after the Leon headkick
(somehow calls timeout) They restart the fight
Or maybe the corner calls timeout
Usman recovers and continues fight with 30 times the likely hood of a life ending concussion
 
Imagine thinking this is not a joke thread...

Well, that's why you wouldn't allow corner timeouts, has to be the fighter himself. If he can't speak, he can't call a timeout.

But imagine DC calls a timeout after that Jones headkick. He would just need a few moments to collect himself, then he goes on thrashing Jones (he looked really good that fight prior to the kick).

Or imagine Gane feels his anxiety mounting as the fight with Jones starts. He knows his head is not in it. So he climbs the cage and hangs in the corner like a wounded animal until his mind clears. Then he comes down and thrashes Jones. But then Jones himself climbs into a corner ! So many twists and turns, would make for a very exciting match.

Ok, I've been on this same idea from a slightly different angle. Anderson. Silva. "The Spider".

But was he? No, even the great Anderson Silva was a MAN. Why?

Because fucken bald goof red-faced steroid ape would not build high walls and a ceiling on the cage so Anderson, at his sole discretion, could climb the cage to escape, hanging out in a corner like some kind of spider or baboon until he was ready to come fight again.

We, as MMA fans, could have had TRUE spider matches but redfaced growth hormone goof decided that we didn't deserve it.

What is this bias against climbing and falling from the ceiling in MMA? Are we just an insane species who can't grasp the potential? Do we need @mmainvestigations to go lecture at UFC HQ??

What will it take to get sider/baboon matches in the UFC where they belong? I've been watching UFC since literally the first event. My wife beater was once white - it is now fully Cheeto orange (except the brown armpit areas). I've watched every single event, sometimes in one sitting, and I've never seen a single baboon match where one fighter fell off the ceiling to land on his opponent. Why do they keep stealing our fun?? Does this have to do with Jeffrey Eptstein and his Gates-controlled blackmail ring? Did he catch the baldfaced red PED goof on camera and force him to deny us spider matches??
