                    <blockquote>

The Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix will resume Saturday night in Dallas with a new rule in place: a sudden death round to settle a draw.

When the GP was first announced in January, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said that a draw would be settled by an independent fourth judge who would "determine who advances or who wins based on the fighter's overall performance in the fight."

However, Marc Ratner, Zuffa's vice president of regulatory affairs, informed MMA Fighting on Sunday that Zuffa, the new parent company of the Strikeforce, has decided that all tournament fights ending in a draw will now be settled by a fourth sudden death round. There will not be a fourth judge assigned to the tournament fights anymore.

Underground News -  all tournament fights ending in a draw will now be settled by a fourth sudden death round.
 



They better call it sudden victory. The name sudden death just gives the anti MMA retards more ammunition for their smoke and mirrors arsenal.

The TUF 1 finale had the requirement of a 4th round in the event of a tie.



It's about time we see this mechanism again.

 good idea, but there wont be draws

GOOD IDEA. Judges are obviously incompetent as of late, so do everything you can to let the fighters decide who moves on. Of course, finishing a fight is the best way... but it is at least a step forward. Sudden Death rounds should always be around. However, something tells me none of these fights will go to a decision...

I love this...should be in place for every fight....EVERY FIGHT.

I can't figure out why this isn't used for every fight...PPV time frames maybe? Phone Post

 who wins based on the fighter's overall performance in the fight."
