News 12-6 Elbows / Grounded Opponent Strikes(Hands-Down) OFFICIALLY ALLOWED

[Pointy12-6Elbows]

Good. Now overturn Jon Jones' only loss to Matt Hamill.

I feel like ultimately, this is where it’s headed…

Didn’t Dana even allude to something in the past about having that DQ erased?

Good. Now overturn Jon Jones' only loss to Matt Hamill.

Looks like he can appeal his loss:

 

[Istryker]

Yessir

 

[Reach4theSky]

I won't be happy till they legalize kicks, stomps and knees to a downed opponent.

I wouldn't mind headbutts either, but can live without them..

Looks like he can appeal his loss:

Honestly now I’m thinking some home cooking is a brew.

Is it possible the UFC has been pushing for this so that they can unanimously declare Jones the GOAT pointing to his undefeated record?

 

[Tweak896]

Lets see now how soon it gets implemented. About time if they do it quickly.

Looks like he can appeal his loss:

There's no way it will get overturned. Changing a rule now doesn't make it applicable retroactively. It's an absurd idea.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Fuck Jones. Guy still broke the rules. It's not like people were arguing Gordeau's win over Tuli should have been overturned to a DQ once they put in the grounded fighter rules

I dont know who that is

 

[Jackonfire]

Will be funny to watch I'm sure some fighters in the beginning are gonna keep their hands down thinking they're safe out of muscle memory and get fucking cracked to Bolivian

 

[Luckyme]

Good. Now overturn Jon Jones' only loss to Matt Hamill.

Rule changes aren't retroactive.

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

Step in the right direction, but I still want Pride rules or bust.

 

[GrantB13]

Another win.

 

[blaseblase]

Good. Now overturn Jon Jones' only loss to Matt Hamill.

As long as we can overturn his "win" against Dominick Reyes.

 

[GrantB13]

For those saying Jones should drop the loss, that can't be how it works. He broke the rules while it was a rule. At one point groin strikes and hair pulling was allowed but those aren't losses now afterwards. And what about claiming that a fighter shouldn't have lost because another organization or commission would have allowed it? It's big special pleading to call for Jones to get a loss reversed but not even think about anyone else under the same umbrella.

 

[Streeter]

Aljo never becomes champion! Would Merab be Chsmp right now?

 

[MigitAs]

The move is to trap the dude in rubber guard, then start dropping the 12-6

 

[Clark Rogers]

Glad to see the elbow rule go, even the refs didn't know how that rule worked.

Also nice to see some logic on the grounded opponent part, fairly tired of putting a finger on the mat being a defensive strategy.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Good. Now overturn Jon Jones' only loss to Matt Hamill.

Hamill won fair and square. Don't you dare!

 

[Pechan]

Incoming coked up Jones rant.

 

[El Fernas]

Nice, finally getting rid of the whole "was it legal?" part of grounded opponent strikes.

12-6 elbows is rarely implemented other than Jones DQ, lol, nothing will change on how they currently throw them to be honest.

Great news, very happy with this. This is supposed to be Ultimate Fighting.. putting your fingertips on the mat so someone can't hit you is pathetic, about as far away from real fighting as possible.

Its a sport, not real fighting, rules are rules and both can play the same game, move along.
