I love the ufc. I appreciate ground game and like a good ground battle as much as a stand up battle.
Saying that this new thing of making main events 5 rounds is imo a terrible idea. Not only a terrible idea but already after 2 shows it has proven to be a bad decision. First show that the 5 round main event was made was shogun vs hendo. The last 3 rounds was like watching 2 people fighting after drinking 2 litres of vodka each.
Then tonight we saw the 2nd event with this stipulation and it was bisping vs miller. And i was watching this fight and in the 2nd round i was cringing that the thoughts of this fight going 5 rounds as already miller was barely keeping his hands up as he was gased already.
I mean i understand their reasoning of wanting to make main events seem a step above the undercard. But i am of the belief that having a title fight be 5 rounds as opposed to 3 makes it more elite and more of a championship fight.
So i really think their trials of making all main events 5 rounds have failed. As not only do the competitiors not really have anything to fight for in pushing themselves 5 rounds but so far from what i have seen, they simply dont have the talent.
The reasone the title fights can go 5 rounds is because its generally the top 2 of that division that are fighting, Not just 2 and im sorry to say but in the case of shogun vs hendo, has beens, main eventing a fight
