How different would fights be if there were *NO* decisions allowed for victory?

Fairy tales!

The only way to do that is have old school K-1 type tourney structure and let everyone do roids.

You would have to pay guys alot less money too, cos it would not be financially feasible otherwise.

Also the no time limit would completley destroy this premise... actually, so it cant be done ahahahah

Who talked about no time limit?

That’s a Merab thing only, he would be champ in every weight class.

You'd just get loads of people with loads more losses on their records. It's not easy to finish a high level MMA fighter.

Right imagine trying to finish a Marvin Vettori or a Amanda Lemos. These people are nigh indestructable. Trying to KO them is not the smart way to win against them tbh depending on who is fighting them.

Fuckin bitch threw THREE head kicks. Who does that?? What a try hard. Ref stopped it too early, Nate had him right where he wanted him.

I would take that L off the list too !

Diaz bros dont lose, they run out of time... (my favourite cope in the history of mma cope)

They used to attribute that to Nogueira (or maybe the Gracies) first.

Let's imagine Dana woke up as a red hot tomato one day and said,
"If you go to decision, both you and your opponent loses."

It's still 3 rounds or 5 rounds, not a fight to the death LOL

Would fighters fight better?

So it would be like Lethwei?
Lethwei only has KO and draws. Either you stop your opponent or it's a draw. Doesn't matter how one sided a fight. If there's no finish it's a draw.

 

[g*r*b]

So all the all-out wars, the kind of memorable fights that get put into the hall of fame, would be double losses in your system? Hard pass.
