No bad.. 10 minute rounds ARE good... Knees to a down opponent are GOOD... Rewarding competitors for submission attempt is BLOODY GOOD...
There's plenty of things that UFC could have taken from Pride that would improve MMA.
Unified rules = a godd thing IMO.
"Man, I guess it is official. With its acquisition, Pride will no longer have the 10 minute rounds. I really liked them b/c the first round of MMA can be so explosive, and you want enough time to see things happen. RIP 10 minute rounds..."
Just as I predicted, the UFC is fucking up the rules in PRIDE. Next they'll ban soccer kicks if they haven't done so already.
"We are heading towards unified rules in our sport. But one door closes, another opens.
The simple fact is that we are the only sport with radically differing rules, and that can't last for ever."
I like the fact that there are some organizations that have different rules. It makes things more interesting.
It will work out ladies so stop whining.
