Here are all five rounders so far in 2018:
Poirier vs. Gaethje (finish) - Yes
Nurmagomedov vs. Iaquinta (decision but good fight) - Good is pretty forgiving...entertaining though, a little.
Namajunas vs. Jedrzejczyk (decision but amazi - Yesng fight) - Yes
Volkov vs. Werdum (finish) - Yes
Justino vs. Kunitskaya (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Stephens vs. Emmett (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Cerrone vs. Medeiros (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Romero vs. Rockhold (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Machida vs. Anders (well... alright)
Souza vs. Brunson (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Miocic vs. Ngannou (decision but good fight) - Meh, not evenly matched at all. Stylistically interesting in a buildup but the reveal isn't as intersting.
Cormier vs. Özdemir (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Stephens vs. Choi (finish) - Would have been the same as 3 round fight
Soo, can we close this silly thread already?
Edit: If you cant count, that makes 9/13 finishes and 12/13 really good fights.
Deduct %15 of purse on every round that ends. Pace would escalate, as would revenue
Cyborg vs Holly Holm
Gay?It use to be like that when they first started 5 round mains.
Gay?
Frankly if there's not a KO within the first minute or so we should just drop both fighters into a pit of alligators or something. I must be entertained.
If the fight lasts longer than a minute then put Stipe in there with them.
Uh... dunno if I'd say Stipe/Fran or Nurm/Al were "really good" or even "good" fights... they were pretty forgettable imo.Here are all five rounders so far in 2018:
