Poll results: Did the UFC make the right call with five-round non-title fights?

In a sport where "you can't leave it in the hands of the judges" is considered more factual claim than potential theory, it sounded like a brilliant decision.

UFC president Dana White recently announced the sport's top promotion will extend all non-title main-event contests from three rounds to five, giving competitors 10 extra minutes to try and finish high-profile fights on their own terms.

But even the sport's best fighters don't always provide 15 solid minutes of action, and an additional 10 minutes could prove thoroughly unentertaining. With that possibility in mind, was it really the right call to make?
