Should the UFC make the opening round ten minutes & have a five minute 2nd round?

Yes.
longer the round the harder it is to judge right
Yes. PRIDE was better.
Hell yes.
No. We have plenty of things that are more important to change than round length. I loved pride, but there are shit fights no matter what the round length. It's more about matchmaking and rule set with guys who are there to finish.
I would rather see 100% unified rules so there is no "this state doesn't allow" whatever. That goes for things like weed and knees. I would also like to see outside refs like pride to help with any crazy situation whether it is instant replay, fence grabbing, or even to tell the main ref in between rounds if there was an infraction. The only time an outside ref should influence a fight is prolonged holding.
I’d say yes but it’s going to cause guys to hold people down for even longer
I'd like to see 2 min rest periods. And no weight cutting. Fights would be notably better.
5 min rounds are reasonable, but they are really long.

I'm not a fan of two minute rest periods because conditioning is part of fighting.
10 minutes first round is too long and harder to judge.
Iwould prefer a change in scoring from 10-9rounds to something more precise.

YES!!!
Been sayin this forever. We’d see more finishes.
No. Just hire qualified Officials. Problem solved.
fuck it just make it 15-25 min.
No. They should not.
was Pride better for having 10 min? YES.
UFC is too established with morons/average Joe.
but 10 min 1st round brought out better ground game and better martial arts in general.
but so did the ring. The ring forced more center of the mat action.

I was speakimg from a fan prespective. Watching guys get tired is not inherently compelling for most people. Instead, as I understand it, fans like to see athletes perform at their best.
