You should fight to finish.

The reason nobody watches wrestling and boxing is dying is guys fight to win by dec. Not pin or KO.

They fight to stay ahead and squeak out decisions. Its a winning formula with the judges they have and the stupid 10 point must system.

Guys should fight to finish. Not fight to win by dec.

The ten point must system is dumb for a three roung fight.

It works over a ten round fight but not a 3 or 5 rounds.

The whole fight should be judged.

My record has nothing to do with this. Bj has a pretty good record and a few titles and he feels the same way.

Im sure V. Silva and Shogun agree. Fedor might as well. Guys who all fight to finish.

The game has changed, welcome to the Ultimate Wrestling Championships.
