I don't understand this ending part. How will seeing less of the actual fighters' abilities display more difference in technique? Do you think that Matt Serra was just that much better than GSP that he was able to KO him in 3 minutes, but then get somehow dominated horribly in the rematch? Surely luck had in part to do with it.
What i am saying is the degree of tecnique displayed in the KO instant should be on a higher level than throughout a 5 round fight because te KO is the perfect execution of the correct technique with the perfect level of power to achieve the optimal result which is the instant incapacitating of the opponent. Whereas a 5 round fight means that every technique attempted was not perfect in that it only partially landed or that it was completely evaded or blocked or parried or foiled.
