New Fight Concept...please read!

ok i was thinking about the IFL the other night when i was trying to exlpain the team aspect of the MMA IFL league. what was funny was when i said there are five fighters from each team, the person i was trying to explain the IFL to thought by team format aka 5 fighters from each side meant ALL 10 fighters in a ring of some kind at once aka a royal rumble or something!!

what a cool idea!

i know MMA/fighting sports are in general, an individual sport, but wouldnt it be cool to see 5 on 5 MMA? i know this isnt ideal because you would only be able to watch any two fighters at a time and the rules would be extremely complicated like are people allowed to gang up, the number of refs and judges, etc, etc, etc....however its just something i thought could be cool...moreover it would be nice to discuss some possible ways and/or variations to make something like this work.

maybe a mini submission-take down only "tournament" with all 10 fighters at once. aka each team 5 guys and if you submit/lose you leave the "ring". and you are allowed to sub in fighters to achieve better match ups. so say fighter A from team#1 submits fighter B from team #2, team1 would have 5 fighters left against team2's four men. then if fighter A was a better matchup against a remaining fighter on team #2 he could be "tagged" in like pro wrestling or something and take his place. this would make for some really interesting strategy and matchups/

do not flame or say this is stupid. i know its stupid but people thought a team concept a la IFL was stupid in MMA and it is proven to be a valuable new aspect of the MMA world and helps at commercializing this sport.

p.s.
2 on 2 matches, 3 on 3, etc ,etc

Why did you feel the need to quote your own retarded post? Horrible idea. This isn't WWE.

^first of all i quoted my own post because i know how many trolls are on this site and many people wouldnt click on the link with my low post count.

second i told you the idea is kinda stupid. i didnt ask for people to reiterate that i asked for ways/concepts/ideas/formats/etc that could make this work as well as be safe and entertaining you asshat.

its amazing you would even compare that to WWE are u fucking retarded these would be real MMA fighters.

Yep, that would do an awful lot to legitimise the sport.

right because its never been done it has to be stupid.

CAN ANYONE READ ON HERE I SAID I KNOW THE IDEA IS NOT THE SMARTEST BUT I DID NOT ASK FOR YOU TO REITERATE SOMETHING WE ALREADY KNOW. I ASKED FOR WAYS THAT *COULD* MAKE THIS IDEA WORK AND ALSO BE FUN/ENTERTAINING/SAFE/AND COMPETITIVE!

your honestly going to tell me that you wouldnt watch a 2v2 match say fedor and his brother vs. say liddel and couture?

anyways i love how everyone on here cannot think for themselves you guys are all followers

As "cool" as it might sound in your head, it would be horrible for the sport. The shit would be on Fox News and everyother news station with headlines like "Ultimate Fighting Brawls" "WWE Style UFC" "Barbaric Sport Reaches A New Low"
