These are a few changes that need to be made in MMA in order to finalize the sport and turn it into a perfect fighting simulation.
1) Fighters need to wear shoes, like in Savate.
Fighters being barefoot doesn't make sense. No one fights barefoot when you have to fight someone to defend yourself. Savate already has shoes so the precedent is set, and in Pancrase they used to wear shoes. Fighters can wear Reebok sneakers, something light, not boots or something.
2) Kicks and stomps to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, 6 to 12 elbows are legal
This is obvious and should exist as we all know.
3) Depending on where they are fighting, fighters have to wear a Gi
If the fighters are fighting in say, Brazil, then being bare shirted or wearing a rash-guard is fine. But if they're fighting in, say, Russia, or America in the winter, then it's mandatory for them to fight in a Gi, because people wear jackets in cold climates. Then fighters will have to learn how to fight and wrestle/grapple in a Gi (jacket) and without one, as they would have to do in a colder environment anyway. This, along with the Shoe rule, make it a lot like Combat Sambo, but it's still different because it would be more brutal (the ruleset would be different between the two).
4) Being slammed with what would be a 5 point throw or a Judo Ippon is an immediate victory via TKO
If you get slammed on your head or neck onto a hard surface, it's done, you lose via TKO. For example, being slammed like this
Kills you in a street fight. The only reason Askren was able to roll over and continue to fight was because of the artificially soft canvas of the octagon.
Deontay Wilder's strongest hardest right cross does not even come close to the damage that being Osoto Gari'd or Suplex or slammed in general onto the ground does to you. Even dry dirt is harder than the Octagon canvas. This is a legal requirement, the GMAX and HIC of the octagon canvas has to be below a certain number (usually like 200 or so) in order to legally be sanctioned. But concrete, asphalt, even dry dirt all have much higher GMAX than the canvas. Judo throws and wrestling slams are NOT JUST TAKEDOWNS, they are fight ending moves that break and kill the opponent when executed properly. Even if you just land on your hips or lower back, it can crack your spine or crack your pelvis. People just trip and fall onto their elbows and shit on concrete and break their bones, let alone actually getting slammed onto the ground by a skilled martial artist.
There we go. 4 easy modifications, none of them big nor expensive nor anything, that make the final little changes to perfect the sport.
Also there should be a fighters union and fighters should be paid better.
