"Big" John McCarthy explains the New Unified Rules of MMA

[TheRassler]

Most overrated ref in the game.

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

10-7's? They better be rare. The opponent can rally with 10-9's in two rounds and still lose the fight.

 

[fastone]

Eas carwin v brock first round a 10/7?

 

[dudefacemcghee]

We already see some undeserved 10-8 rounds.I think the judges is going to fuck alot of fights up with the new 10-8 and 10-7 rounds.

Just makes getting a finish that much more important

They should put together a video of rounds that illustrate the new scoring criteria.

They really, really need to do this.

 

[Psychedelic]

Love it. Dont worry he'll be back on top next patch

I heard they're giving Woodley a new skin next patch.

Just revisit old contraversial fights and do scoring for those, people would watch it

 

[Fyreborn]

Would love to see effective striking become more important, octagon control become less important, and for there to be a lot more 10-8 rounds.

Hopefully that's what these new rules do, but I'm not too confident much will change.

 

[Clippy]

Fedor got 10-7'd against Maldondo

 

[Venom]

Applied retroactively for example, I'm sure Dodson comfortably beat Lineker then.

Of course there are countless others.

 

[lsa]

Jackson Wink has just entered Defcon 5.

Actually you mean Defcon 1.

 

[Skankhunt420]

Love it. Dont worry he'll be back on top next patch

What do u play bro

Clash royale lol

 

[Quinton Overeem]

in other breaking news, Jon Jones has officially retired after hearing the new rules

What about Greg Jackson retiring?

 

[The Best JG]

How is smite these days i played it a bit during beta and when released but its been a few years

Was pretty cool i loved that crocodile with the charge and displacement guy was beastly

Maybe they will do albino woodley and then he would have deceptive explosiveness to any newcomers

 

[Deleted member 429453]

Will use the same post I made last time:

Big John McCena

He's rapping

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Actually you mean Defcon 1.

Leonard Garcia getting twistered = Defcon 1

Holly losing two in a row = Defcon 2 and 3

Jon Jones getting suspended = Defcon 4

This = Defcon 5

But sure....i suppose we can restart

 

[IcemanFan75]

I still have an issue with multiple warnings.

How good are rules if fighters can break them many time without penalties?

So true! In what other sport do the referees warn people after they break the rules? Have you ever seen an NFL referee allow a touchdown even though there was a flag for holding by an offensive lineman? Breaking a rule should cause the fight to be stopped, and for the rule breaker to have a point taken away. Fighters will learn real quick to cut that crap out or risk losing points and possibly fights.
