Five minute rounds, Referee stoppages, weight classes and limitations on permissible striking areas gradually found the UFC being rebranded as a sport rather than a violent circus attraction.

Jones' trademark technique is to take a line from one of his songs and use it as a chorus in another, or sometimes even in the same song, screwing & chopping and repeating it (for example, the chorus to "Back Then" is repeated on the track "Still Tippin"). To survive, the UFC redesigned its rules to remove the less palatable elements of fights, while still retaining the core elements of striking and grappling. Most followers of the chopped & screwed style claim that it has outgrown its drug-related roots. The brutal nature of the burgeoning sport quickly drew the attention of the authorities and UFC events were banned in almost all American states.

Fighters were typically skilled in one discipline only (for example boxing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu) and had little experience in battling against opponents with different skills of their own.
