thoughts on Maynard/Florian
I'm a little over these great wrestlers who never even attempt to finish a fight. Sonnen, Maynard…sure they positionally control the fight, but never even ATTEMPTING a finish? Never attempting to land a big shot? All I'm saying is, if everyone has to be able to wrestle at the NCAA Div. 1 level or higher just to compete, then MMA fighters are going to have to spend more time wrestling than anything else, and it will become a vicious circle–with more and more wrestling, and less fighting.
I think there could be a point system change where who has bottom and top means less, and who is making submission attempts and fighting aggressively means more.
In a perfect world–unless the fight is finished, then it's a draw. Sure, there would be a lot of draws. And you'd have to make it so the champ has to finish to retain the belt. Could something like that work?
