On advice from my gamer friends to quicken the pace a bit, where needed...I have started a 5 POP =TKO for example if Punk A.D. is fighting Yoko-Ohno and Ohno has had to roll his POP 5 times in a fight after number 5 the referee declares that Ohno is done and Punk wins via TKO.
Does that make sense???
I know what I'm trying to say but not sure if I relayed that thought well enough.

I understand what you are saying, but I question the number of POP rolls being 5. I keep track of POP saves in the same way that you would keep track of fatigue in CotG, and a majority of my fights go beyond 5 POP rolls by the same fighter. I can see if he/she made 5 consecutive POP rolls, because in that instance the fighter is taking a brutal beating, but POP rolls are indicative of big shots, and there are usually more than 5 big shots in a single round.
According to FightMetric, a recent MMA fight between Glover Teixeira and Patrick Commins that ended in a second round KO saw Teixeira land 32 significant strikes in round one, and Commins land 30 - all over the course of a 5 minute round. The second round saw Teixeira land 22 significant strikes to Commins 3 significant strikes. I use 12 POP attempts as the TKO limit, but have only reached that number one time.
I would be interested in seeing how this TKO rule affects fights. I can do some testing and share my thoughts if you are interested.

I know this isn't the point of this thread at all but I'm an MMA nerd so... Significant Strikes are not necessarily big shots. They are just not really, really small strikes in the clinch or on the ground. Definition: Significant strikes refer to all strikes at distance and power strikes in the clinch and on the ground. It does not include small, short strikes in the clinch and on the ground. Those will be included in the Total Strikes category. So that means that kicks to the leg, small jabs, etc. are considered significant.

I think 10 would be more fair. POP isn't necessarily getting nailed with big shots, that's also defending submission attempts.
What if at every 5th roll you roll two dice and doubles means a TKO. Make it more unpredictable.

I've decided on 5 POPs, 10 in Main Events/Title Fights/Feuds, but you get a chance via Power Play to save your bacon
