Should draws be done away in mma?

Question

rashad vs. ortiz case in point

rampage vs. griffan ( should have been a draw at the bare minimum)

1. arm wrestling match?

2 peanuts ( test of strenth)_

3 another round?

4 breaking boards( karate style)

5 let the fans decide in some way?

Answer 1

No, because neither guy won.  Maybe all decisions should be changed to draws.  Some unanimous decisions, like Rampage v. Griffin were very close.

Answer 2

yes they should fight to the death.

But really the only way to do that would be fight till a submisson or a knockout and at which point do you draw the line

Answer 3

bring back the old ufc!!!!!!

Answer 4

no because there was once a fight in ufc where a guy did a take down incorrectly which knocked out both fighters so it's always possable to get draw in a match because picture that happens on the streets it would be called a draw.

Answer 5

It annoys me when a match goes to a draw. I understand for fighter safety that sometimes that needs to happen. I think a win is much more important than a lose. A lose can be a multitude of things however a win should be just that a win. I think "No Contest" and "Draw" should equal a lose for both opponents. This would keep things like the Johnson vs. Burns fight from happening. Burns would be much more careful about poking Johnson in the eyes if he knew they both could lose. I think it would push fighters to win and barely win by points. I also think that any title fight should go as many rounds as necessary until a true winner emerges.

Answer 6

Adding Score Keepers and Kicking Judges like kickboxing has .... that would end all the crappy refing and crappy three judge calls.  10 point must doesn't belong in MMA however, minimum power kicks landed per round do.  When Zuffa took over they went to the Nevada Athletic Commission and let those people put "Boxing's Protocol" all over the scoring ( 10 point must ) which isn't even meant for MMA or anykind of contact sport with kicking in it.  It is that it is though.  What ever Zuffa wants right? I still wish that Zuffa would have sought help from the International Kickboxing Federation ( IKF ) before they would have sought the Nevada Athletic Commission's input.  So much for two billionaires and a aerobics instructor huh? .... eeww that sounds like a title to a book don't it? "Two Greedy a**holes and a Aerobics Guy" could even be a good joke as well couldn't it?  Maybe one day soon two millionaires and a garbage collector can start a brand new sport that'll put a stop to the MMA fad amongst sports fans huh?  

Cool question though ....... maybe you might get lucky and someone important might read your ideas dude ... you never can tell about those things.
