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

Is the moderation on this forum arbitrary, or feelings based?

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.

No timeouts but everybody should be able to use their puffer.

I'm envisioning the cage being close to 75 ft tall by the way, so the scene you describe is magnified by the sheer scale of the arena, and the risk of death. It would be quite a spectacle.

I'd also imagine certain fighters getting very good at cage climbing. So good that these fighters could land one punch to get an advantage, then spend the rest of the match evading their opponents on the cage. The entire match would be one high flying game of cat (leopard) and mouse (baboon). Wouldn't make for the most exciting fight, but sometimes that's just how it turns out in nature.

I like adding the risk of 75 foot falls! And the whole cage climbing and swinging aspect will bring in more parcours/free running type fighters so acrobatics now play a part!

Love it!

What if there were light weapons stashed high up - like 50 feet high? "Oh, he's not resting - he's going for a weapon, Joe... he felt that power and he wants backup now... oh, but he's being followed - now it's up to the faster climber...." A fighter could even grab a weapon but then be pulled off the cage by his legs and plummet to his death, so every play has its commensurate risk.

Weapons would be light - padded clubs, padded sticks - things that can give an advantage but not break bones, basically. We are not savages and we aren't looking to to have our fighters compared to Roman gladiators. Just climbing, flipping, club-wielding MMA professionals. I'm really digging this!

Are you actually retarded or just pretend on Sherdog?
 
Lol. They do have a time-out.
Its called TAPPING OUT.

" ok.....stop-STOP, give me a second ". Ref steps in and ,lol, makes the time-out motion.
I'm losing salt right now.
 
Awesome idea, we can also have free throws any time a fighter is fouled. Kick in the nuts? Free punch to the head. Flagrants can be immediate DQ's. You're on to something TS.
