Unpopular opinion: Last round should give a higher score

[Al-Musoroah]

Ultimate fighting was always about being as close to a real fight as possible,

You could better eliminate the close rounds (10-9) and turn them all into 10-10 rounds. So you could win a fight by either 10-8 or finish. If not, then its a draw. Thát would look more like a real fight and be more fair.

True, but I think finishers will alwasy try to finish regardless.

Yoel Romero is a great counter to your point of view.

You will see much more wrestlers that dry hump and stall if that happens.

We can get rid of this by eliminatint 10-9 rounds and turn them into 10-10 rounds. So nobody can make a career by just dry humping. They will actually have to learn how to be a full fighter

Take out the rounds and score the fight as a whole if you want it changed

If you score the last round more everyone will fight like Nate Diaz and conserve their energy the first 3 rounds

Bingo. This is for our entertainment. I don’t care who would finish first in a triathlon, I want to watch them use their skills.
