That's one thing I actually love about the UFC rules compared to the pride rules... the 5 rounds. It forces guys to train on a diferent level and the idea of the championship rounds gives it just that extra excitement. Look at some of the great 5 round wars.. Rampage/Hendo, Couture/Rizzo, Couture/Ricco, Franklin/Louiseau, BJ/Uno, BJ/Pulver, Hughes/Sherk. They were all great battles... I know there were some bad ones like AA/Tim 3 but still!

I just want to see more 5th round finishes. I really thought that Thomson was going to get it against Melendez. I guess thats just wishful thinking on my part.
