Why aren't the octagon walls made of plexiglass?

[BlancoDiablo828]

Or something similar to hockey walls. Probably been asked, but I couldn't find it.

Blood smeared all over glass would not be a good look

Blood smeared all over glass would not be a good look

Plus there would be FAR more concussions and possibly even death.

 

[Quitcherbichen]

Would be to many injuries

Fair point. Is that their reason or is there more to it?

Then it wouldn't be cagefighting you soyboys

When are we expecting scientists to invent forcefields? Forcefields would be perfect for Octagon barriers.

Have you ever tried sliding down a water slide without any water, TS?

The price of plexiglass is prohibitive.

I've wondered this too. There's also another promotion(I forget their name) where it's cage/ringless. It's just mats that go 6 feet up at 45 degrees on 4 sides. Thought that was kind of interesting.

Dude I searched Google. "Octagon plexiglass walls sherdog"

I tried mate

 

[ClueChap]

It’s one of those things that sounds like a good ideas but isn’t practical, plus a blood smeared window would be a bit grim for everyone watching, also you gotta think about people accidentally head butting it

Ouch! That never crossed my mind. I get it now.

Fair enough I guess.
Here are some choice examples though.

That actually sounds like a good idea. If it's good enough for Bloodsport it's good enough for mma.

Ouch. I didn't even think about that
