What would be in my ideal MMA promotion

• No-brainer. PRIDE NEVER DIE. I'm talking soccer kicks, stomps and none of this you can't up kick someone on top of you nonsense.
• Elbows allowed including 12 - 6 elbows allowed or any time on a clock
• All the usual fouls apply. Eye gouge, nut shuts etc.

Scoring, referee and fight length

• Scoring as a whole.
• We can fire/suspend judges for incompetence. Roll out a program explaining 10-8's NEED TO BE SCORED. 10-10'S need to be scored!!! Dammit.
• Draws no longer exist. All draws head to a sudden death round. How fucking awesome was McCall and Demetrious sudden death gonna be?
• Bring back the marathon, 10 minute 1st round.
• Title fights would follow with 3 five minute rounds. But, hey, we all know guys like Benson Henderson and Demetrious Johnson would have no problem having more rounds to fight. 7 round title fights. 10 minute 1st round and 6 more five minute rounds.

Weight Cutting

Commentators

• Lenne Hardt (the screaming Pride lady) calling the fighters out when they walk out pro wrestling style. Yeah, I love the ramp and extravagant entrances.
• Bruce Buffer for the big PPV's and title fights. Joe Martinez for the Singapore and Brazil type cards.
• No statistics during the fight. If Mike Goldberg wants to bring up the useless punch stat numbers during the round break, that's fine. But I'd do away with them. The time spent on the ground is an alright one.
• Commentators would include the usual Rogan/Goldberg, then I'd ban Florian and Anik from going anywhere near my promotion. Schiavallo and Miletich is a must.
• Mauro, Bas, Frank Mir, Kathy Long. Guess commentators like Rampage in Pride and random, but famous kickboxers in K-1... maybe Miesha Tate, but her voice isn't that resonant.

Grand prix and "terrain"

• I still can't control the governing, so I'd hold tournaments in unregulated countries. Will the commission be pissed? I'm not sure, but whatever. I love tournaments, but they're kind of pointless if the semi finals and finals aren't done on the same night.
• I'd hold maybe 2-5 grand prix every 2 years to keep them somewhat special.
• Absolutely love the "different terrain" idea Nate Wilcox had in the video. Ring or cage? Eugene suggest there just be a platform. I'd like to see that too. A giant platform like in some Soul Calibur maps. Maybe more fighters will finally learn proper circling and engage
• It could be something like 3 "ring outs" counts and you lose. In my ideal promotion, I'd like to at least entertain this idea, although it sounds like it could be disastrous.
• I'm think the platform is about 15-20 feet above the ground and underneath is a net to catch them, so at least you get to see them fall. It couldn't be water, cause then they'd be wet and it'd take too long to dry them... actually fuck it. Let them be wet.
