Dana White has announced today that all non title main events signed from this day forward will be 5 rounds. This is to ensure less controversial decisions and hopefully in return the fights will be finished. There are rumors that perhaps the main event title fights could be extended to 7 rounds. Would this be a good move?? A lot of GSP fights are borefests and making it 7 rounds could result in a 35 minute borefest. Then again the fights could be finished a lot more often and many fighters may gas at that point especially the big heavyweights.
This new rule also includes UFC on Versus and main events on SPIKE TV. Dana White also announced that they will be adding a new 125lb division and expect to see fights by the end of 2011. This is very bold and exciting move for the UFC. We will now see many 135lbers drop down and fight at a more comfortable weight for them. Let me know what you guys think about all this??? Good move or bad move.
