Are strikes to the throat allowed?

[RafaelDosSantos]

They should be utilized more often. I don't know about you but I'd tap to strikes the instant my throat was struck!

 

[Summoning]

I agree.

 

[Mr Fushida]

No, they are not allowed, but sometimes punches end up landing there anyways.

[SKITZADACTYL]

no, sometimes it happens though.


like ronda got kicked in the neck.





























and it was great.

 

[SVG]

I agree.

GSP going full Seagull. Never go full Seagull.

 

[Credo]

No, but...

 

[Gilday]

"Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea."

If they were allowed it would change a lot of fights when they hit the ground

If a fighter held another fighters head up and legit punched him in the adams apple no that would not be legal. Though if its unintentional it seems to be ok as I have seen them land to the neck often
