is it weird that #2 vs #3 was a 3 round fight instead of a fight night 5 round? or is that just the weight class/dana

Typically it's only championship fights and main events that get 5 rounds. Very rarely a fight will get special consideration but you can count it on one hand.

Right I think they're saying shouldn't this have been a fight night main event.

I was just thinking about cards without a title defense having a main event getting the 5 round spot and sometimes looking less like a number #1 contender bout than this was, but maybe this would be harder to build a fight night around

yeah, they both looked great in timing their punches and tracking their opponent's head. also they were equally good at swinging massive hits on the break and equally scrambly with their wrestling/counter wrestling.

it was like a ryu vs ken fight

I am awful at words today.

I think the UFC is trying as hard as possible not to book main events that could be 5 rounds of wrestling unless they feel like they don't have a choice.

one fc cards have thirty six fights each, statistically at least eight of which will end in fatalities and one will result in a new regional ghost story, and they wrap that poo poo in less than half the time

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
why did no one post Twinkletoes had been reffing this event?
