2. Tag Team MMA
Before you laugh at this suggestion, consider that it has already happened in grappling.
The idea would be if you could recreate a tag-team pro-wrestling match with MMA fighters. You could even create a whole division from it. Just make the Diaz brothers the inaugural UFC tag team champions, have them headline a PPV and I bet it would be hugely profitable.
Basically the rule could be that if one guy is able to touch his team’s side of the cage (either 1 or 2 squares of the octagon) then the fight would stop and the other partner would enter and the referee would re-start the bout. It would add a whole new element as guys would try and cut off their opponent from making a tag, and guys sprinting across the cage trying to reach their corner.
Is it ever going to happen in the UFC? Almost assuredly not, but how much fun would it be to see the Diaz brothers take on Conor and Artem Lobov? Or two guys from Team Alpha Male vs. two guys from Team Elevation?
