VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Five-round non-title fights are officially making their way to the UFC.
UFC president Dana White today told a small group of reporters that the
promotion has decided that all main-event non-title bouts – whether on
pay-per-view, Spike TV or Versus – will now be scheduled as
five-rounders.
However, the adjustment will not apply to any currently scheduled bouts,
such as UFC 133’s Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis tilt, or UFC on Versus
5’s Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle contest.
