On his You’re Welcome podcast, Chael Sonnen questions the logic of 5 round mixed martial arts fights. If the Super Bowl is the same length of regular season game, why are the main event and title fights in MMA fights longer? The chance of injury increases and longer fights change the training required to compete making it harder to book last minute fights.

Boxing has 12 rounds. This whole rant is dumb.
This makes mma fighters look weak. Athletes should have good cardio regardless of any sport. You want to be successful in a five round fight work on your damn cardio. If your cardio good you won’t gas out.
Whittaker said he injured himself in the first round so doesn’t make a difference if it was 3 or 5 rounds.. should make it 15 rounds 50min per round 💪
The clock should start at zero and count up as far as im concerned sorry chael
Some of the greatest fights ever were 5 round wars. Lawler vs MacDonald, Conor vs Nate 2. It's the sport you chose to be in, and it's just how it's done. It stuns you when someone questions you? You're not the supreme authority on everything Chael, stop speaking for everyone.
Preach.
3 round fights suck and khabib and Michael Johnson was a perfect example
So the chance for a finish increase.
I’d love to see 1 round fights with a time cap. Maybe 8-12 minutes.
I’m sure there’s reasons why that’s bad.
Your thoughts?
If u pay 70 dollars to see McGregor vs khabib , ud be upset if it was only 15 min
