thinking What Would You Change In The UFC?

If you were in control of the UFC what would you change? What are your major gripes with the UFC and how would you fix them? Does it need drastic changes or does it just need tweaked?

The Clique wants to know. Enlighten us.

2 rounds instead of 3 for non championship fights, like they do on TUF. Have a 3rd round if their tied.

I like the cage. I never really liked an open ring for MMA.

Knees to the head would be good, but it would never be allowed in America.

Re: What Would You Change In The UFC?

Shaun the question wasn't how do we make UFC like Pride/Dream.

And the cage is a lot better than a ring it makes it so you don't have to move fighters back to the ring.

And knees to the head are a must Serra would have died that way it would have been epic.

And they do have to find someone a little better than Golberg however he is a lot better.

Personally I want to see a more defined ranking system in the UFC, like after each event rank the top 5 people in each division which can create #1 contenders. I know some fighters aren't markatable but it should be top fighters fight champs not marketable fighters fight champs.

I wasn't trying to say make it more like DREAM or PRIDE per say, its just a personal taste on how to make things better in my opinon. The Cage comes off as waaay to gimmicky and way to much in favor of wrestlers to me. I perfer the ring just because its much less of a advantage for wrestlers where you can't just pin them up against the cage and leave the fight there for a full round.

Re: What Would You Change In The UFC?

Also makes it so the wrestlers aren't at a disadvantage when a guy can run out a round by continually pulling himself into the ropes from the bottom.

However I do like the Dream rule (not sure if Pride did it) where if a ref deems you are just laying and praying he pulls out the yellow card and 10% of your purse is deducted.

Re: What Would You Change In The UFC?

Yellow cards are great.

I know it is unlikely, but I miss the soccer kicks and stops, but its probably better for the sports image to not have them.

Knees on the ground are needed though.

And I prefer the ring simply because the ropes cause to many breaks in the flow of the fight.
