DavidMarrio Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Starting from after UFC 133 the main events in the UFC will be 5 rounds. Also Nick Diaz has vacated the Strikeforce title so he can fight for the UFC title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Nick Diaz has vacated the Strikeforce title so he can fight for the UFC title. I like this. I like this a lot. At least the main events being 5 rounds thing. Couldn't really care less about what Nick Diaz does until his fight with GSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I don't think I like that main-event move :\ Cheapens title fights a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr. potato head Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Agreed with Plubbinator. Five rounds were one of the things that made title fights special, now every show will have a five-round fight? Plus, how often do you get anything exciting in the fourth or fifth round? By that point it's usually either a wrestler grinding out a decision or two gassed guys doing nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I like it but I don't like it if you catch my drift. Some fights I think yeh an extra two rounds will be good, hopefully give a definitive winner and let us see more but I also agree with it cheapens title fights abit. I'm more on the side of I wouldn't mind seeing an extra ten minutes of say Machida/Jackson or Fitch/Penn over say a prelim fight especially when the prelims are on facebook/youtube and on Spike in the US and ESPN over here in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Tonight will be the first time I'll be watching UFC as it's happening. Should be different, since I've never really been much of an MMA guy. Is there usually a chat going somewhere or will people just be posting in here?

Guest mr. potato head Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Sometimes a few of us talk on MSN, but I won't be around so 9 to 5's your best bet. There's really not a large contingent of EWBers watching this stuff and online at the same time most often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRN Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Five rounds for every main event is stupid. And dumb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolleje Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 My predictions for tonight: Dos Santos KO's Carwin in R2 Kenny Florian d. Diego Nunes via UD Demian Maia submits Mark Munoz via wizardry :-) (Go Maia go! My favorite fighter by far) Jon Olav Einemo submits Dave Herman in R1 (and makes a huge first impression) Vagner Rocha submits Cowboy Donald Cerrone (BJJ for the win) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm almost always out at a bar watching it live so you won't find me online. That said, the bar I went to no longer shows PPVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRN Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I still debating whether watching this live or just getting it in the morning; first option I have to sit through all the stupid hype videos, interview, Rogan and Goldberg being idiots but I get to watch it live and perhaps discuss it with EWB guys. Second option, I get to skip all the annoying stuff plus I don't have to stay up to like 7 A.M. Laying it out like this really solved the problem. Can't be bothered to watch it live, unless 925 is on that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
