UFC President Dana White shocked many MMA fans when he announced all main event bouts on Ultimate Fighting Championship fight cards will be increased to five rounds, whether it's a title fight or not. White told reporters on June 9:"From this day forward, as we speak right here, right now, every fight that is a main event that is not a title fight will be five rounds."

The UFC's new rule is scheduled to take effect after UFC 133, and it will be interesting to see how the news is received by MMA fans.

I'm not really sure I like it. You have to have title fights different than regular fights, that's why the call the late rounds the "championship" rounds.

I don't know how else to do it? 3,5 and 7? 5 and 6 but get rid of the 10 point must scoring system to avoid draws?

5 rounds shouldn't be an issue if these guys weren't cutting so much weight to fight smaller men.

Frankie Edgar walks around close to 155, fights at 155, and can probably fight 10 rounds.

Guys that are scared of men the same size and cut 40 pounds are the ones that are going to get gassed out. Cutting 15-20 is no big deal, when you balloon up two to three weight classes, it's time to fight bigger men and you won't blow your wad in the first round.

I walk around near 170 and fight at 155 and can go all night. If I was to cut to 135, I'd probably be dead, literally. That poo isn't good for your organs.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      So to suggest that our offensive weapons might not be as horrible as being claimed if we were to have Josh Allen throwing to them instead of Bryce is a stretch? Maybe they would be better, maybe not. But I'm not going to keep saying we need more weapons and more this and more that with a QB that struggles to get 200 yards passing in a game.  You're right, our receiving corp was ranked in the bottom 3rd of the league. Who was throwing to them? A bottom 3rd QB.  If the team wants to get better it has to be serious about the QB position. We aren't and no amount of adding weapons is going to solve the fact Bryce is a bottom tier QB or that the most serious camp competition he has ever faced was Andy Dalton.  If Carolina fans were watching any other franchise entrench themselves so vehemently around this level of QB production, we'd be laughing like he'll and waiting for our chance to play them twice a year.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      I’ll also say agin, this is why I think we’re in a great spot this year to trade down, and maybe meeting with all these WRs is a smokescreen to try and make a WR needy team over trade to get our pick so we don’t take the guy they want. While at the same time, if Downs falls outside the Top 10, I’d be comfortable with darn near any trade involving our 2027 1st, to move up and get him.  He’s going to be one of th best Safeties in the game for years to come.
