Are you allowed to curse in the Octagon?

[THE-06]

When Herb dean stopped the fight I thought it was because Green called him a motherf***ker.
Is there any rule against how bad your language can be?
Are there any no-no words that would be "unsportsmanlike" that they would need to stop the fight over? what about the n word?

 

[Rajon Rondo]

Nick Diaz said "STOCKTON MOTHERFUCKER" versus Lawler

 

[Ares Black]

Technically it's against the rules.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Apparently it is a rule but most refs don't do anything outside of "hey shut up"

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Herb was angry at the late shot by Lima beans

Greene called him a motherfucker because of the late shot

The late shot was because of the Greene eye raking

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Fighters can get fined big time if they curse in their post fight interviews..

 

[BobblyStruggles]

Considering how retarded referring can be lately I wouldn't be surprised someone DQ'd for shit talking mid fight.

 

[Reign009]

Apparently, it is a rule.

 

[Moral Victory]

I don't know about verbally, but...

Bisping did.

 

[Satchm0]

Forbidden.

Knocking someone out onto queer street is perfectly acceptable though.

 

[Terrestrial Extra]

It's in the rules technically right? but come on...

but if Michael Page can have a point taken a way for making a face before an elbow by Dan Miragliotta the I can see Dan pointing someone for cursing.

 

[Billthebutcher]

Fuck yeah

 

[PrepareForGlory]

Lol at policing the language of cage fighters while their in the cage beating the shit out of each other.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

It's technically against the rules, as in taunting. However it's rarely enforced.. Nor should it

 

[GSP_37]

It's not like a sacred respected dojo.

Yeah very different situations as they are talking to camera.
