I liked that octagon ring Pride used for those special shows.

 

Ropes were tight with no slack

I Agree smaller cage and ring are the way to go plus the ufc style and judging solutions.

Stigga -  That would be really funny is they had 2 cages next to each other. One like it is now and one half the size with 4 feet fences and a midget ref and midget ring girls for the flyweights. Phone Post

It would be like the kids table at Thanksgiving.

waht about a shrinking cage

a system of pullies could achieve that easily i'll defer specifics to shane carwin as the resident engineer

you start a fight in the regular ufc cage, as the fight progresses the cage gets smaller and smaller, until tis the size of a phonebooth

somebody is getting finished for sure

that's just silly. what they should do is find a way to tilt the octagon floor, so when a fighter just keeps backing up, they can tilt the floor so that he slides back to his opponent. Phone Post

Square cage imo, give strikers the chance to back people into a corner. Phone Post

How about taking it step further and make it a triangle cage? It would really be hell to be stuck in one of the corners of triangle cage. Imagine being in one of the corner with Lavars Johnson pounding away at you.

Ref dangles from a cord in the middle, Bruce announces from the top, Joe and Goldie rotate around the sphere in a rollercoaster like announce booth....

Good ideas .
Litmus think the square circle shape would allow strikers to circle corner their opponents even more! Phone Post

bigironmike79 -  Don't they use smaller cages on fx and fuel fights? I think a smaller cage is cool. Less running. No matter what weight class. Phone Post

I believe when the UFC goes to smaller venues (like the Red Rock, and other similar venues) they will use a slightly smaller octagon to accommodate for the smaller venue. I'm not sure if they use a smaller octagon for FX and Fuel fights though.

When the technology is there, the cage walls will expand or retract depending on the fight weight.

 

Heavyweight - 30' per side

205 - 29'

185 - 28'

170 - 27'

155 - 26'

Anything below 155 - 25 feet per side.

 

It will be glorious!

Great idea, a fighter could get head kicked off the edge and fall onto a pit of spikes

I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to cage size, but the larger cage is there to promote stand up fighting.

A smaller cage would lead to much more grappling, and especially clinching.
