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.
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??
