Dana White: Every UFC main event going forward will be a five round fight

Unless you already signed on the dotted line and committed to a three rounder for an upcoming event, it looks like every fight card under the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) banner will now feature a five round headliner.
That's according to UFC President Dana White, who admits he "blew it" with the Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger fight at the UFC on FUEL TV event last Wednesday night (Feb. 15, 2012) at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska.
Ellenberger was in cruise control for the first two round of their featured bout, but as the clock began to wind down in the third and final frame, Sanchez was able to turn on the jets and take advantage of a winded "Juggernaut," flattening him out and pounding him into the floor.
"The Dream" was unable to secure what would have been one of the craziest comebacks in UFC history, but also demonstrated why he, along with countless other Octagon warriors, can never be counted out.
And why every big fight can benefit from a pair of extra rounds.
White breaks it down for Ariel Helwani, after the jump.
"We blew it, it should have been a five round fight. I was sitting here again tonight looking at the fight going, 'Yeah, this shoulda been five rounds.' I think that if Ellenberger and Diego went back in there for a fourth round the place would have went crazy. People were ready for it at home. I'm not gonna throw anybody under the bus but we blew it, we shoulda done it. There will be five round fights from now on. FUEL would have let us do 33 rounds if we wanted to so yeah, there will be five round fights from here on in -- other than contracts that have already been signed."
White suggests there were other factors in the decision to keep Sanchez vs. Ellenberger a three round fight, but FUEL TV wasn't one of them. Regardless, it looks as if this fight, if nothing else, has been the catalyst to make a permanent change.
No more "championship rounds."
Not all fans have stood in staunch support of the decision to have non-title fight main events go five rounds, leaving little to differentiate regular headliners from the specialness of title fights.
What's your take?
Did Sanchez vs. Ellenberger prove to you that all main events should be five rounds? Or that main event fighters need to make better use of the clock?
Thoughts?

It was made the standard for ppv and fox,
but not fuel tv or fx.
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
not true!
you WERE right jimmie. then he changed it to only fox and ppv will be 5ers. now he’s changing it back. its dana fuckin white guys!!! nothing eber makes sense or stays how he says.

it wouldnt of matter diego gassed out .. which was wierd cause that was suppose to happen to jake .. all i know is a few guys on there were sayng how jake was gonna murder diego and that wasnt the case at all
So every morning this guy comes to my apartment complex to collect cans out of the dumpster he then crushes them .. turns out the guys name is fedor ..
diego was definitely tired,
but i’m not sure if it’s possible for him to gas, quite frankly. Diego was probably the favorite if they were going into the 4th/5th rounds, although Jake could’ve stolen one of them with a takedown or 2 and some control.
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
Sure it could have made a difference
Hours after the event dana is making this change because of the fight last night

OKAY .. well i think he was gassed since he the start of the 3rd round he was huffing hard .. i think his broken nose made it even harder for him to breathe .. i think the old diego before the bj beat down would of finished when he had jakes back .. all he had to do is rain down bombs enough to get the stoppage .. i have been watching diego a long long time .. i am a hudge fan of his .. he was gassed in my opinon .. by the end of the third even though he had the dominant postion his punches were very very weak .. and he wasnt using his right at all .. he was just droping left handed hammerfists that werent very powerful .. still like i said there was a few guys on here saying how jake was gonna ktfo of diego .. others saying he was gonna get murderd .. that didnt happen and he was almost able to pull off the upset and get a title shot against condit .. now i think it has to go to jake and i think jake probably goes in the favorite .. jake is a beast and is really putting it all together ..

Semantics. I agree in principle. Also, Diego goes for a RNC then this fight ends in a shocker. He had Jale flattened out - too bad his BJJ is not top notch.

There is no reason to debate whether he “gassed” or “tired”.. he was justifiably tired to say the least.

Ellenberger was only looking to defend the choke
the way they were pushed up against the cage, it was almost impossible for Diego to sink in that choke. Everytime Diego went to put both arms into it, Ellenberger turned into it and got Diego’s arms out of harm’s way pretty easily. He knew he only had to ride it out as he was up 2 -0 at that point.
Diego wasn’t clost to stopping it. Jake has a granite chin and was in no way really hurt. Busted up? sure, hurt? nope.

A better BJJ skill set gets Jake in a BT and threatens Jake with a lot more than some sloppy, rushed attempts at a choke. Jake was tired enough to get stopped by a sub. I know its speculation but it's something to consider.

Diego was handled in the 1st 2 RDs. What surprised me is that Diego seemed more technical in his approach as opposed to just flying in like a wild man. Unfortunately, his stand up has not changed. He should not have given up on his kicks.

very true hate to admit it .. he is better off at 155 .. because his wrestling while he may be highly decorated is not good enough for the guys at 170 .. ie fitch,koscheck,jake,gsp.. but at 155 i think he would do well especially now since there is not really a elite striker like bj was at the time .. he would hang with frankie , bendo , miller, diaz,cerrone.. but i think at 170 he looses to most top 7 guys .. still we shall see ..

I agree... Diego looked good at the end.. kinda
But he was getting dominated up until Jake slipped and he got his back. If Diego wasnt so tired, he probably could have done some damage. He looked extremely tired, imo, which seems reasonable considering his nose was demolished

i disagree while he did get droped it looked more like a slip or off balance then an actual going out .. and jake was in big trouble at the end of round 3 .. as i said the old diego with better cardio and not so much flab would of finished it .

Diego changed his style, which is why he was not KO'ed. Plus, Jake paced himself. Did you see where Jake put Diego on his ass and after that Diego stopped pursuing as much? Diego was smart enough to recognize he could have been KO'ed.

And I’m a fan too, but with the tools condit has I don’t see Jake getting past him, much less GSP. He was gassed bad & was lucky Diego was winded from that pace & that nose.

For those that don't have Showtime, here is what you should do.
The Friday before the event, call your television provider and say that you were thinking about adding Showtime and see if there are any promotions. Over half the time, there will be and you will get it for free for 1 to 6 months. The catch is that you have to call and cancel otherwise you will begin to get charged for it once your free trial is over.
If there is no free trial, add Showtime to your package. Then on Monday, call your television provider and cancel Showtime. You will pay a prorated fee for the time you had Showtime. Its usually like $15 a month so for the 2.5 days of service, I typically pay $1.25 when doing this.

He originally announced ALL main events will be 5 rounds… Then that lasts a month or two, then he jumps ship, opens his big dumb mouth and takes it back saying ONLY FOX and PPV cards will be 5 round Main Events. NOW he’s already back tracking again on that one cause of 1 fight that would havebeen nice to see 2 more rounds!! FUcking shut up and stick to your damned words.. Geezum fuck

This Main Event should have been 5 rounds and Diego should have won.
I was actually under the impression that it was 5 rounds which lead me to take Jake by Split Decision.

Does anyone know WHY they put the fights on FUEL to begin with?
Step 1. Make a tv deal for more viewership, show fights on Fuel instead of FOX which would give them 3x more viewers.
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit.
It's all part of a huge 7-year deal.
The FOX fights are the ones who will make MMA explode. In addition, the FX and FUEL fights will get some new viewers, but more importantly help Fox because MMA fans will now want to have those channels.

exaclty
fox helps the ufc grow, and the ufc helps fuel grow. everyone bitched about not having fuel but anyone can call directv or dish network and get fuel, and i think fios has it too. i have direct and it’s included in my regular package, no premium necessary. why would people stay with a cable company that doesn’t offer the channel they want?
