    Personally I think this is a great idea. Rampage-Machida definitely needed a couple of extra rounds.

    The best idea would be for the UFC to create 'official' rankings for it's fighters, then you could have something like...

    Title fight or Main event, = 5 rounds
    Top 10 vs top 10 or co main = 4 rounds
    Rest = 3 rounds

    Some matches definitely would benefit the fans if they were five rounds and machida rampage is a good example. Make it happen Dana!!!

    On the other hand imagine if cro cop v Mir hadn't have ended late in the third and having to go through two more rounds of that.

    i think after 3 rnds if the judges score a draw then a 4th or 5th would be needed.

    Risky there could be some shockers although some fights we have cried out for the fight to continue, recently I would of liked to see rampage machida and Forrest Franklin continue, not cos there where great fights but because the fight didn't feel over

    Also Dana wants your boy overeem mryzyz

    I would much prefer them sorting the archaic scoring system, and keep the 5 round fights as title fights.

    Makes no odds whether you have three or five round fights, as long as the 10 pt must score system is in effect.
