This is MMA, so it doesn't make sense to ban wrestling. The take-down can be a beautiful thing to watch sometimes. It's a great skill. It's also a great skill to maintain top position.

HOWEVER,

Top control is boring. You feel sorry for the guy on the bottom.

We can't have a full whole round with 1 guy maintaining top control-----this is bad for the sport and I don't like it as a viewer.

The solution is simple: institute a time limit once you get the takedown. You have 1 to 2 minutes to do your magic. This time is your reward for the takedown.

This is a sport, you can decide the rules.
 
Ayo hol up imma need you to stop kicking my ass cuz 2 minutes is up.
 
I agree

Also, if the fight is standing and there's no KO after 1 or 2 minutes, the fight has to then go to the ground
 
Let's add a 20-count after a knockdown too...because it sucks when a fight is over suddenly from a spinning kick or flying knee...embrace the grind ;););)
 
lel cum oonnnn guyzzzz we eed more big doodes BAMMING the sheet outta ech othor!!!!!!!!

Connie doesnt ned to get on da ground with other doods lelelelelelel
 
A pro fighter should be able to get up all by himself. If he can't, then he should lose.
 
There's this sport called kickboxing.. another called boxing and then there's Muay Thai and then Karate and taekwando and, you get the idea
Go check them out and leave us alone, please.
 
I mean Kevin Lee wasn't just holding Barboza there, he was whooping his ass

Are you also saying stand up has to be halted after 2 minutes? How do you determine who gets top position when you put the fighters on the mat?
 
Yes, and no more than 20 punches to the face and 5 kicks landed per round. If all these criteria are met during a round by both fighters, fighters must slow dance the rest of the round.
 
“...however, top control is boring.”


Lol you’re an idiot.
 
I'd put the top control limit at 5 minutes. After that they should take a short break and start again standing.
