The Octagon should be elevated like Bloodsport to encourage aggression

[TJH Exitium]

Fighters should be handcuffed to each other with one wrist each. That way you get action.

They've done that already too (sorta)

That says something about "martial arts" as they're trained for the UFC then. If something so simple as a hill completely changes the martial arts, then are they really the best "martial arts"?

martial arts is really the art of learning combat to defend yourself.

cage fighting is prize fighter. While they do something similar, they are different.

a cage is complete even ground with no advantage. incline/decline offers advantage and disadvantage

The octagon should be inclined like that. That way, when you retreat from action, you're literally moving uphill. And if you jump in to engage, you get a momentum advantage. It would naturally discourage circling away point fighters and bring the real fighters like Wanderlei and Nick Diaz to the pinnacle of the sport.

I never knew that was the reason why it was broken

Thank you sherbro for enlightening me
