I would go with either no time limits or at least significantly longer rounds that allow a fight to develop more and push a fighters gas tank to the very edge.
the yellow card system for fighters that deliberately stall.
Kicks to a grounded opponent,headbutts and grabbing the cage all allowed as well as more leniency towards what fighters wear into the ring.
All champions must defend their belt 3 times a year.
Good start except for grabbing the cage.
jpm995 - Good start except for grabbing the cage.Grabbing the cage sounds OK, until someone gets a finger ripped off, then you've got a media shit storm in your hands.
I liked the round lengths in Pride, 1 10 minute and 2 5 minute rounds.
Yellow cards for sure.
Kicks and stomps on the ground without a doubt.
Unsure about headbutts.
I also think elbows should be legal from any angle. Screw this, you can't come straight done, you have to come at an angle.
