The first two months of 2011 delivered two high-profile draws – UFC
125’s Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard II and UFC 127’s B.J. Penn vs. Jon
Fitch – both of which ushered in a slew of controversy and left their
respective divisions in flux.
As a rule, draws generally frustrate fans, almost certainly frustrate
fighters and generally cause more confusion than resolution.
But can the sport’s governing bodies find some way to improve the current system? At least one UFC champion thinks so.
