Considering it's a short notice headliner is Rashad/Glover 3 rounds still or 5?

it's a tree fiddy round

 

[Troublesome10]

Other short notice fights were kept as 5-rounders, I'm assuming this one will be too. The policy is main events are 5 rounds. I don't think they want to make exceptions.

To give a serious answer, I'm not sure. They've had it before where a fight was bumped up and the fight was contracted at 3 rounds so it stuck. Don't why some people give smart ass answers.

Fighters gotta sign a new contract when a fight gets bumped to ME.
They can decline the 5 round fight at that moment but everyone is taking it lately so I guess they're given an incentive.

Good point, but Rashad and Glover are both company men and usually show up in shape, so I would assume they would accept.

Should be a good ol' 5 rounder.

You don't care about 2 extra rounds?

UFC 161, Evans / Henderson, 3 round main event. It happens.

Why should it? They weren't training for 5.

Because of what @Troublesome10 said, I believe he made a great point.

Actually that is not completely correct. 3 round fights that stepped up to the main event have stayed 3 rounds in the past. If a 5 round fight replaces 1 fighter it has always stayed 5 rounds iirc. This one will be 5 though.
