If you could change one thing in MMA

[MMA Untold Podcast]

As a fan, if you were given the opportunity to change, add, or remove one thing in mma, what would it be?

 

[jojoRed]

Add 12-6 elbows, completely change the TD, mount etc.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Shitty judging

 

[WouldNotBang]

I would remove........

Spoiler

Tyron Woodley

 

[Frank McEdgar]

No rounds. 15 or 25 minutes straight.

No wrappings allowed.

No beards allowed.

No covering the mouth.

 

[KYS]

As a fan, if you were given the opportunity to change, add, or remove one thing in mma, what would it be?

I would delete your account.

(Nah, more and better judges plus video ref would be it.)

 

[AWilder]

Extreme weight cutting. I know they will need to cut weight, but I would like to see extreme cutting gone.

 

[The Domin8or]

I would make myself UFC CEO and i would cut sage northcutt and paige van zant and i would start promoting fighter who are actually skilled

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Opening 1st rd. needs to be longer. Judges should need to pass a basic mma exam regarding the different martial arts so they can have somewhat sound judgement in what they are observing.

 

[Dirge]

Make 145 the minimum for men's weight classes

 

[Chomsky Honk]

Some type of system that makes rankings, title shots, the stripping of champions, the circumstances under which an interim belt is brought in, etc. more fair and consistent.

Make kicks/knees/stomps/upkicks to the head of a grounded opponent legal

 

[Goodfella86]

I would add one thing to the UFC, specifically: tournaments.

 

[Stan]

Immediate 1 point deduction for fence grab, eye poke and second ball sack shot.

 

[DLX]

Get rid of the 12:6 rule.
Change the scoring system to incorporate far more 10 - 8 and 10 - 7's.
Sign Ben Askren to the UFC
Tell USADA to go fuck off.

 

[ZaphMMA]

Get rid of Dana White

 

[RetiredSlave]

Just allow more techniques. 12-6. Knees to downed opponents, soccer kicks etc. Im on the fence about small joint manipulation. In some cases grabbing a finger while youre in a RNC could save your life but it could also screw a lot of things up used offensively. I guess Id be for defensive small joint techniques but you cant use them as offensive subs. I dunno too many broken fingers and toes I s'pose.

 

[reddhelium]

No rounds. 15 or 25 minutes straight.

 

[Soul On Ice]

WMMA back to the minor leagues

Or get rid of Reebok...Or any dress code for that matter.
Back to the days of a fighter wearing a full Gi if they want to

 

[King in the North]

No rounds
No judges
No rules
Fight to the death

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

judging and extreme weight cuts.

it's crazy when judges score a fight 30-27 for opposite fighters
