I would introduce a pinfall to MMA

MilesAbove said:
While we're at it, remove strikes and BJJ, and make pinfalls the only way to finish. And everyone wears a singlet. Lets also change the name to "wrestling".


pinfalls would perpetuate the myth that being on the bottom is bad.... which is the biggest load of BS since 12/6 elbows being outlawed.

so adding something from martial arts means I want to take away everything? In a real fight if you are pinned the fight is over. I think a reset to the feet would increase action and acknowledge wrestling without catering to it

why allow stalling in a position where the bottom fighter has a 4% chance of reversing it? we should include more rules from more martial arts. I say the pin should be 3 seconds, full control, negated if opponent lifts his shoulders before the count of 3

I have a better idea to minimize boring lay n pray. Allow knees to the head of a downed opponent.

This, Also upkicks and yellow cards would help alot.

The goal of MMA is to be as close to a real fight as possible.

Lol, a pin is nothing in real life.

In real life if you are pinned against concrete or rocks you have 0 chance of surviving especially if you have been taking down on it and the wind is knocked out of you. You obviously have a very strange perception of "real life". In real life if you are pinned down you are nuetralized simple as that. You arent pulling off a submission

Well, that's a problem then, because I remember an exact fight I was in, on concrete, where I was pinned, got out of it and ended up putting the guy in the hospital.

So something tells me that your 0 percent figure is off, lol.

Jiu Jitsu works on the streets as well.

Hey, you can choose to believe what you want.

For me,... I have a big scar on my head, from where he hit me with a baton to get me down there to begin with.

On top of that, I had several close friends with me, who are still close to me today, even though this was many years ago.

So not only do I have physical evidence of the event, I have several eye witnesses too. I'm good with not needing you to believe the event. You are just putting yourself at risk if you believe what you type, my friend.

I can lie over the internet too. If you have to make up a fight to get your point across, maybe it isn't a very strong point to begin with.

Pinning = IPPON in TMA. and in the streets spells death a majority of the time.
 
Bottom is not favorable with the scoring systems, getting up or sweeping are more suitable for MMA.

If the enemy attempts to g&p, guard trapping can isolate his arms, disabling his attacks. Even if bottom sucks, subs can be obtained from it, making a system of pins will be a bad idea. And a tired fighter may pull guard to recover, if he choosed to.

You are just making the game poorer in options and possibilities, no thanks.
 
Only if we start seeing Sweet Chin Music and Stone Cold Stunner finishes.
