In fact, I wouldn't object if all main card fights became 5 rounders and prelims were 3. By the time you're on the main card you need to be ready to fight for the title so why not. Obviously PPV timing etc would be a concern but i'd definitely like to see 5 round co-mains and official #1 contender bouts at least
Tbh, some fights I wouldn't want 5 rounds. Just imagine the last ufc 149 card, the kongo fight and boetsch lombard. Those fight could only get worse as time goes. But yeah, ldo contender and co-main event fights should be 5 round fights.
Also, +EV to just bet both unan + inside distance for machida?
