Would you like 90 seconds between rounds instead of 60?

[ClosetVitorFan]

This is one thing I never got. The rounds in MMA are 5 minutes. Compared to boxings 3 minutes. 1 minute between 3 minute rounds make sense. But why is it only 1 minute between 5 minute rounds in mma? I think mma is too closely modeled after boxing. I think 90 seconds would help. An extra 30 seconds to recover might cut back on the heavyweight gas fests. And that's the thing. Heavyweight is always traditionally been known as the most popular in combat sports. I'm also factoring in post USADA. These fighters from all weight classes will be affected Cardio wise.

Nah, one minute is fine.

Nah, one minute is fine.

Yoel Romero would probably want 90 seconds. Lol

 

[SCTwins]

It wouldn't bother me either way, but that is something for fighters and coaches to request, if they feel the need.

30 minutes, and the fighters should be forced to eat an entire thanksgiving dinner during that time.

 

[Kwic]

I wouldn't like any breaks. Till someone drops.

Big country is in.

 

[maxi diablo]

Yoel would be unstoppable.

Keen minds think alike. I was coming on here to suggest Romero would like 5min. between rounds.

 

[Akabignasty]

I would want as much time i can get.

 

[melvinj0]

Big country is in.

Him, Rothwell, and Barnett would run the division.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

1 minute is fine

I would prefer no breaks for rounds. The fighters would fight for the entire 15 or 25 minute period and the judges would score the fight as a whole.

Pretty tired of seeing fights go like this:
Fighter A edges out round 1
Fighter A edges out round 2
Fighter B kicks the shit out of fighter A for round 3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fighter A wins.

I'd rather see that lumped into:
Fighter A was slightly ahead for the first 2/3rds of the fight and then got his ass kicked so Fighter B wins.

10 minute Pride rounds were bad ass and then yeah just oldschool continuous fighting, Breaks are for pussies lol.

Lol Yoel Romero is basically Fighter A.

I would rather it be 90 seconds as well, makes a lot more sense give them a little extra time and give the judges a little bit more time to go evaluate the round they are just scoring

Yes!!!!

 

[BBMN]

I'd be happy if Heavyweights had 4 minute rounds... LHW 4.5 minute rounds.

This is probably an unpopular opinion.

100% agree. Too often do we see that happen and it makes it really hard to watch sometimes knowing the rules are set up that way

I agree. A 10 minute first round means we are probably not going to get to the end of the round.

True fighting. Pride had that shit right
