Are You Happy With UFC's Rules?

Are you happy with the rules of UFC now or would you like them to implement some rules that PRIDE used? For example, soccer kicks, and knees on the ground were legal in PRIDE but are illegal in the UFC. Do you think those moves are too dangerous to be used in the UFC?

Lets hear what you think.

Re: Are You Happy With UFC's Rules?

I think you should be able to kick or knee a fighter in the head when they are down. If you get an opponet in a vulnerable position you should be able to take advantage of it. I also think you should be able to strike to the back of the head, The ref will just have to stop fights when fighters are getting beat down. this way you will have the true ultimate fighter, however you may also have more injuries

Re: Are You Happy With UFC's Rules?

I think someone can actually die if strikes to the back of the head are allowed. That or permanent disabilities. I would like to see fighters being able to knee downed opponents as well though.

On a guilty pleasure note and I know this would never happen, but I would love to see kicks to the nuts legalized... not punches, not grabs, but kicks....

Re: Are You Happy With UFC's Rules?

I thinking knees to a guy on the ground should be legal. The knee that Bisping had a couple of fight ago was awesome. Punches to the back of the head should stay illegal.

Does the state laws affect which moves can be done?

The State Athletic Commission determines what moves are legal.

I think knees on the ground and soccer kicks should be legal. They were legal in PRIDE and as far as I know, no one got seriously injured because of it.

If knees were legal fights would be wayyyyy shorter. Most of Pride's fights didn't last long because of knees, therefore I say keep the knees out.

Re: Are You Happy With UFC's Rules?

I want knees to a downed opponent. It stops guys whoi are straight wreslters. They shoot, you knee.

Soccer kicks, while fun, I think should stay out of now as it makes the sport look thuggish.
