i agree with every word.I feel bad for Fitch in a way.
If you are boring and take a loss you get cut from UFC while a lot of guys you will beat get kept on because they are exciting to watch.
Thing is with UFC not co-promoting it’s a legit move. If MMA was fought under one ranking system where you could fight anyone he would have a much more successful career.
honestly I don’t known where I stand. I want it to be seen a legit sport but I want to be entertained.
the problem lies in the rules. Allowing endless stalling in grappling is the main problem in MMA. Forcing the action is what needs to happen.
Also scoring rounds based on top position rather than damage.
You have to sacrifice position to go for anything. Its much safer to hold on and win that way.
Just watched Wanderlei-Jackson One.
The instant Wand dropped him, there was a soccer kick in the face, and that started the chain of strikes that ended the fight. Under Unified rules Wand would have either gone for some hammerfists and Quinton wouldve grabbed his leg, or Wand would have backed off, not wanting to get clinched. See stuff like that all the time.
Oh! and the sheer fucking size and essential roundness of the cage. Guys run around there for minutes at a time.
