Former UFC light heavyweight division champion Jiri Prochazka said on the eve of his fight with Alex Pereira that fights in mixed martial arts should be held without time limits.
I think the fights, especially in the UFC, can’t end for the points. Because for the points every time there is a referee [judge], one referee is for him, one referee is for him and tell me, who wins. I think the best time for fighting was when that’s end for like no time limit…Bring it back.
