Watching ONE 172 now....love the three 3-minute round system in that there's no feeling-out process as in many UFC matches. The fighters have to get right to it ASAP because every second counts. I know, it's two different sports - Muay Thai and MMA - but what adjustments in the MMA round system could make fights more exciting on average, in your opinion? Or is it OK the way it is?
 
ONE is amazing.

UFC could learn a lot from ONE.

They need to use ONE's card system.

A couple of fights would have been stopped within 2 rounds on UFC's card today due to fighters not fighting, which would have been good because they were garbage.
 
Now that UFC is practically unwatchable I think people will gravitate towards the superior combat sport product in One. One Denver last year was almost sold out. The best strikers in the world + MMA and grappling

What so instead of getting a 20% off Venum voucher they only get 10% off?
 
There has never been a point in any promotion in history where MMA fights have been anywhere near as exciting on average as those One FC style MT fights. Its just inherent to the types of fighting that they are. You cannot maintain that kind of pace in MMA, and you cant keep things as crisp either. It is what it is. K1 fights were typically more entertaining on average than 90s/00s UFC and Pride fights too.

It's funny how the sherdog crowd who hate on people for liking exciting fighters like O Malley and Alex would also dickride One FCs muay thai which completely bastardizes the traditional style of stadium muay thai in order to make it more exciting. I mean hey I love it too but it's just kind of ironic don't you think?

I was probably too young + I see this Enron group is something in the United Steaks. I'm in Australia. Maybe it never made the news here.

Whoops It was 2000 or 01. Yea maybe you are too young for it and it got overshadowed by 911.

There is a documentary called The Smartest Guys In The Room about the Enron scandal that is really well done. It's possibly the worst corporate scandal in American history as far as having direct impact. People lost their entire retirement savings through absolutely no fault of their own and with no knowledge that any decisions were even being made about their retirement funds.
