What's one thing you would change in the UFC/MMA?

3 defenses before a second belt fught

Glove change

Legalise all grounded stuff

Better judges

Inactivity punishments

Maybe a higher base pay for the bottom of the barrel guys



One of those
 
Everything about PRIDE was infinitely superior to everything about the UFC, except weight class structure.
 
I'd like to see just one 15-minute or 25-minute round.
And no stand-ups for inactivity.
Stomps and soccer kicks are legal.

Basically make it as close to a real FIGHT as you can. Make it more fight and less sport.

Yes, I'm insane.
 
A single take down not being valued as high as four minutes and fifty-nine seconds of pure domination.
 
Everything about PRIDE was infinitely superior to everything about the UFC, except weight class structure.
10 minute rounds were shit. Whole lot of lay and pray. As good as some fights were, there are a whole bunch that are just two guys spooning each other to save energy.
 
Firm rules regarding interim titles, what they mean, what happens when someone wins one.
 
I cant say just one, but a simple combination

1) controlled juicing
most of them are on it anyways, at least they could try to level it up

2) change these gloves

3) weight in on fight day. No more weight abusing.

All in all, fighters would be healthier, stronger and fighting longer. Big names around for a few more years fighting at high level.
 
Having Judge interviews after fights to explain their scoring.
ok putting them on the spot will never happen but I'd like to see like a rubric and writeup after the matches are scored to see where they are allotting points.

Yes, I'm insane.
How many of them have been busted for PEDs already? 70%?
 
I'd force the UFC to be my friend.
 
We need something to mitigate fouls. If that's a new glove, it's a new glove. If it's actually enforcing the rules, then why aren't we already?

Yes, I'm insane.
You're not insane, you're the fucking man.
So many of these homies need to be in the UFC.

Islam Omarov and Muslim Magomedov are two of my favourite fighters.
Timur Khizriev, Magomedrasul Gasanov, Magomed Umalatov, Ramazan Kuramagomedov, Usman and Amru would all be so sick to have.
 
We need something to mitigate fouls. If that's a new glove, it's a new glove. If it's actually enforcing the rules, then why aren't we already?
Aren't there already gloves that are designed to stop eye pokes? Gloves where your fingers are still free, but there's a flap that extends over the tips of you fingers? Pretty sure I've see them in Muay Thai or kickboxing.
 
No WMMA. No women commentators. New hotter octagon girls. No Powerslap.

Yeah. The UFC seems pretty resistant to any tangible change though.
 
No WMMA. No women commentators. New hotter octagon girls. No Powerslap.
This is a weird one for me. Sanko is turning out to be one of the better commentators. She has fight experience, does her homework, and isn't painfully biased like Joe, DC, and Bisping.
 
Legalize 12-6 elbows, and let the old timers use TRT.

Someone once said, we as fans deserve the best athletes science can create.
