Rounds being too short would hurt grapplers.

You're giving strikers a huge advantage with shorter rounds.

A guy like Minotauro Nogueira gets punished by shorter rounds because he doesn't have time to apply subs.

That's the sport. It isn't kickboxing.

Eh, its mixed martial arts. Kickboxing and boxing certainly are part of that. I said it numerous times already, I hate the ground game and the submissions. Its like watching collegiate wrestling, thrilling stuff!

and with you wanting shorter rounds, the grappling may as well be eliminated and it just be called, mixed stand up arts. Obviously you haven't seen a good ground match and are just associating lay and pray with what a good ground game is
