Nevada passing new Unified Rules of MMA — but not same grounded fighter definition

A hand(s) on the mat is a bs standard for being considered down imo. Unless your belly, back, knee or ass is touching the canvas then you are not down.

Soccer kicks are savage asf.
Not sure they should be legal. So brutal

That shit looks like attempted murder
 
So already there was confusion with some states having the old grounded rule and others the new grounded rule, and there is now a third one,

It is more like the old rule in that it is one hand, but it seems under new NSAC rules, just putting a finger down wouldn't count as grounded.

I do like when there is a shady grounded strike, the commentators go on about the new vs old rules, when it does not matter because the person had a knee down anyway.
 
I agree completely. Fighters are instinctual in the cage, relying on their training. You can't THINK about every single thing you do, or your reaction time will be horrible. The UFC needs to do something to try and get uniform rules adopted for all UFC fights.
or fighters can learn the rules and train the scenarios so that it's instinct and natural reaction within the rules.

Fighters like Jones natural instinct is to paw out with their hands open and fingers extended, now they can be penalized for that without poking a fighter in the eyes. They'll have to adapt and learn the rules so that it's natural instinct not to do it anymore.
 
Stupid shit. Thai Plum knees are way nastier than grounded knees. So just allow them all.
Yeah I know - just bleed
 
Just legalize soccer kicks and stomps already..

<{JustBleed}>
Not stomps. Stomps run a high risk of the contrecoup effect which can kill a person. Soccer kicks and knees should be allowed though as long as a fighters head isn't being driven into the mat from a heavy strike with lots of weight behind it.
 
If all of the commissions that use Unified Rules Of MMA would just
reach a common rules package it would make life real easy for the
fighters and coaches when they prepare.
 
So now we have

+ old rules

+ new rules

+ nevada rules

thats not fucking confusing for fighters and referees
 
Cool.

Now everything is very clearly stated for Weidman and he won’t lose because of shady rules again.

He lost cause moussasi was coming back, weidman was getting tired and getting tagged and hurt..so he chose to take advantage of that rule...just like against jacare, he was slowing down and getting tagged.
 
No they're keeping the rule of a fighter having 2 hands on the mat considered a grounded opponent even though most wanted to be one hand instead.

Ok, yeah I misread it. It gets a bit confusing when some places aren't even adopting the new rules yet, and people are trying to make further adjustments to the new rules.

Must be hell for the fighters.

Agreed. If you're on the soles of your feet, your hands are free to defend. K.I.S.S.
 
If a fighter wants to be safe he shouldnt be there in the first place.
 
pride rules!

anything else is glorified k-1 with takedowns and hammerfists.

10 point must system MUST go. fights should be judged as a whole.

yellow cards eliminate blankets of inactivity. ex. lay and pray.

give the fighters a 10 min first round.

how many times have we seen a sub let go of because the bell rings.

fix that shit!

agreed.
 
This shits getting ridiculous

Fighters are gonna practice twister moves to take advantage of the new loophole lol
 
Cool.

Now everything is very clearly stated for Weidman and he won’t lose because of shady rules again.

Well actually with the new rules the fight wouldn't have been stopped and he would have been kneed into bolivia
 
Great, they should resume the Mousasi-Weidman fight in Nevada as it was, and allow Moose to knee Weidman's skull in so he can get his victory as he deserved it.
