three 3 min rounds instead of 5 min rounds????

i dont know if it has been discuss yet but i think three 3 min rounds would really pick up the action in MMA. it would allow the fighters to go all out making for great action. just like they do in K-1. even the ground game will be fast and furious because they guys will still have gas in the tank.

Hell no, not in a million years. If anything they oughta change the UFC rounds to PRIDE standard.

it seriously favours the striker though which isn't fair
5 mins is considered the bets medium for both strikers and people who grapple and need to get position

They do that on the undercards of ICON shows. I don't care for it. With MMA you need the longers round, especially when the fight goes to the ground.

imagine too big heavyweight going at it. ie thompson vs fujita

I think this is a terrible idea as it totally favours the striker which is unfair and i can see it leading to more fights going to the judges decision which i think is not good

no Way i think pride had it right with the 10 mon round nevermind 3 min rounds

No 3 minutes is too short. 5 minutes are just right.

i watch fights and you guys watch fights... u ever notice how the action slows down after the first 5 min is gone. now with three 3 min rounds the guys get even more rest as they get a 1 min break in between rounds which will make for a great action packed fight.
