Was super excited to hear about this and to see all the great fighters come from Pancrase and from other organizations as well to One Championship. I honestly feel OC is becoming the best MMA live action sports presentation on the planet now. It has far surpassed the UFC. The fact that if you stand in front of each other and do not engage the ref will literally tell you to fight, and if you do not, give you a Yellow Card warning, and then a second causes you to lose 10% of your purse. This is much needed in the UFC if they are going to keep up with OC. UFC may have the bigger names in America, but to me, worldwide, OC is #1, and has earned that spot with its constant showcasing of its great fighters.

Meh, I haven't seen a lot of fighters stalling in UFC and I watch a lot of events. Fights like Lewis Vs Ngannou are the exception not the rule.

The crowd booing is already forcing fighters to engage. In my opinion, most of you fans are very impatient and are just bleed fanboys that just want to see blood no matter what. Just because fighters are not biting down and throwing punches like madmen, it doesn't mean that they aren't trying to knock each other out.

Grappling and clinching are another example. I wished referees would stop intervening and let them fight. if some fans are so impatient to see action, then just watch the highlights later.
