Should winning the 5th round count more?

[oculos467]

The fighters don't train for a street fight they train for a 25 minute fight this debunks your argument. If it was a street fight you could soccer kick and stab somebody with a knife and 3 tools in a suit wouldn't be writing numbers down on a piece of paper and a pen.

I am not arguing what you can or can not do in the octagon. It is a sport that is a fight. And in a fight when someone losses the last 5 minutes, he losses that fight. The later rounds should have more value.

Ok here is my take. I had it Reyes 1,2,3 and Jones 4,5. That being said Reyes gave Jones his Best effort and I can remember during the 5th thinking all he has to do is hold on but DAMN Jones is still coming forward and Reyes is spent! Jones is 100% a tough dude and dangerous to the very end. The simple solution to this is to go back to the early days where a fight can only be won via KO/TKO or Submission and have less fights per card.

A champion doesn't run backwards for the last two rounds, that's for sure.

But it's an mma fight under specific scoring not 2 drunks at buffalo wild wings fighting over a piece of ass

Correct a real champion runs in the 2nd round when they are fresh

Clearly, Reyes is the better athlete, since Jones can only run for a few seconds at a time, but Reyes can run for a full 5 min.

And that specific scoring needs to change. If you lose the last 5 minutes of a fight, you lost the fight.

No, if anything a win in round 1 when they are both fresh should count more since it showed that while fresh Reyes is the better fighter.

If were going to get stupid, lets go this way.

First round, when they're are fresh is double points. That will make excitement and finishes.

Watching guys pace themselves for 20 mins till the REAL round starts is awful.

what if they were playing football on the street.

Sounds good come over to my house and I will kick the shit out of you and then you can lay on me for 5 minutes

RIP that guy
