I'd like to comment on the two scenarios you proposed. If you fight as hard as you can and you don't get a knock down or submission you have won just by points if you were the aggressor. The only thing is you have let a decision go to the judges and if you are a fight fan or a fighter you know how fucked up that can be. Secondly, you never fight a NHB fight defensively. That is too dangerous even if you are way better than the opponent you are facing. At this level you have to understand the guy on the other side of the cage came to fight. At Big Johns call he's coming for you. Everyone is tough in here. You never want to let someone take shots at you and let them go unanswered. Anyone of those shots connect, boom, you are on queer street. That's a street that's hard to get off of... , what do you think of this format to force fighters out of their safety zones some times and make more exciting fights? It definitely changes the outcome of some of the fights but for PPV it has to be done. I can remember early on I would get a very good ground fighter down and begin to ground and pound him. Like a spider eventually he would wait for me to get out of position and in a blink I was getting tapped. As I got more seasoned i learned to take my time, some could call it stalling but it was really fighting to win. I would see the trap and avoid it. I would do this by not reaching in knowing the ref would stand us up for "stalling". A few stand ups for the grappler with my superior striking and that was all it took to get the KO on the grappler. That is why they don't have time limits in the matches in Brazil. If you really want to keep it raw you have to just let the fighters fight. That is one of the reasons Wanderlei Silva is so tough. He started out fighting bare knuckle bout's in Brazil with no time limits... Remember the UFC is very tough but it has a lot of rules and these rules change things. It's not street fighting. Good scenarios though ; ) Ed
