Re: 5 Round Non-Title Main Events are in - Also Flyweights are coming to the UFC.

While I agree with you guys that certain fights should be 3. Don't want to see 5 rounds for Rampage/Hamill or Lytle/Hardy, but there are tons of fights that I want to see go 5 rounds. Rampage/Machida, Penn/Fitch, Pettis/Guida were all fights that should have gone on longer. These guys are top tier fighters, there's no reason for them to only go 3 rounds when they are so evenly matched.

Plus look at all the great 5 rounds fights we've seen recently. Edgar/Maynard, Pettis/Henderson, Santiago/Misaki just to name a few. If Pettis/Henderson was just a fight in the UFC it would have been no where near as good as it was. I'm surprised to see so many people against it here. Pretty much everywhere else I look is in high praise of this move.

The problem is you dont know if a fight should have been longer until you see it. If Rampage/Hamill was a barn burner people would have been calling for 5 rounds for that fight. If Fitch laid on Penn for 3 rounds, no one would have wanted to see two more rounds.

Same here, I like it. I still don't know how Lytle/Hardy is main event. Bendo/Miller would be a great 5 round main event I believe

Maybe they should make it where anything other than 3-0 goes 5 rounds. If it is 3-0, you don't deserve 2 more rounds.

Don't like the 5 round non title fights.

Me neither.

If you have a lot of wrestlers on a given card, the event will take forever.

Oh, I missed that. Thanks. I still don't like it though.

Flyweights are good. Should add more variety and more entertaining fights.

As I said in the other topic about 5 rounders,title fights and #1 contender fights? Yes.
Hardy vs. Lytle? No.

Man, lot's of Lytle hate in this thread. He's one of my favorites. Is it just because you guys are against the 5 round fights for non-contenders or do you find Lytle to be a boring fighter?

Re: 5 Round Non-Title Main Events are in - Also Flyweights are coming to the UFC.

Just an example of a fight that shouldn't be 5 rounds for me. I actually think it'll be a great fight but it doesn't have much meaning.

Against 5 rounds for non #1 contenders. I think Hardy/Lytle will be a great fight.

Nothing against Lytle, just that a relatively meaningless fight in Hardy/Lytle would be a 5 rounds, while an extremely relevant fight in Miller/Henderson would only be 3.

So it's really nothing against Lytle/Hardy, more so the UFC for putting that fight as the main event.

Sad Sad Sad
Hardy loses he's gone, Lytle too possibly.
It is upsetting, when that one has title capabilities.
