Another strange poll question
Dana IS looking for the best fighters, largely. He's just looking for the most entertaining of that bunch
You know what's exciting? When a guy smashes his opponent. You know why he can smash his opponent? Because he's better than his opponent by a wide margin.
If you have to eek out wins in what amounts to being a regional MMA show, why should they bother investing in you in this particular format? What makes you any different than any other regional MMA fighter who is good at MMA.
In ANY sport, players or teams with the potential to be great blow out lesser competition. Dana is looking for people who can blow out the opposition because that shows they have the potential to be great. Its a great concept, and actually serves to incentive fighters to fight in a way that puts them in a position to maximize their chances of winning with high risk, high reward strategies
If you can't blow the doors off a regional fighter, then you deserve to grind your way into the UFC the normal way.
And also, taking fighters down at end of rounds is a stupid stratetgy that relies on refs being dumb, and isn't an actual manipulation of the scoring criteria. People are lucky it works
