Should UFC have 2 five second counts

[WarKO]

The line of "intelligibly defending" oneself is a thin one and many times ppl are claiming it was too early or too late.

And, flukes happen way to often. A great up and comer or champ is caught by some low tier fighter that gets cut but the guys career is derailed.

Too many champs lose to this or poor judging. With no lasting champs, the sport loses viewership.

So, how about this, tapping still counts as out but instead of calling the first one that loses conciousness,
the UFC does 2 five second counts.

If the fighter can not stand on the second one, fight is over.

No, that is the good thing in MMA. If you are done you are done, no more unnecessary punishment.
Many judges suck I will agree on that.

Is it just me or is this hard to read.

I am legally retarded btw so it could just be me.

 

[blkmike817]

God no.

 

[SlicerDM]

No, brain damage

 

[discrawg]

Terribly written, mis quoted the rules, and the premise of the post is completely illogical.

Should also implement a 3 pin count as well.

Just put Nick Diaz' name in there and Obama will make it happen; the White House loves triathletes, sharks, and triathletes that swim w/ sharks.

WarKO I'm not afraid to get on board with this idea, the flash KO's are almost like quick wake ups I shutter to think of some quality fights missed because of a flash KO..? But on the flipside I get it when a guy finds your off switch even for a flash...

Too late.

 

[ejazahmednit]

more head trauma
and what about submissions, should there be a five count for each submission locked?

 

[Jay philips]

No because it gives them time to recover and possible take head shots when concussed that is a stupid idea

 

[Talon81]

So being better on the ground no longer matters at all because this is a kickboxing match where you cant follow up for the finish?

Best of 3 knockouts in each round?

I said submissions still count as a V

There's Mark Hunt finding your switch and then there's AS Bisping.

It would hurt the fighters more, brain damage like boxing for sure. But sometimes they let it go on anyways.

A 5 second count would be quick, so if your too disoriented and crawling your way to get up, you'd lose if you didn't make it up on time like in boxing.
