Good change but still doesn't go far enough. There should be no limits to knees in any position.

 

[DudeBroMMA]

Give me knees to the groin

and allow hands wrapped in glass

 

[Striker Fox]

Only one step away until we've come full circle

Knees to balls? Spine? Back of head?

 

[blewgums]

I’m all for it.

Just bleed motherfucker!

I also want to see knee strikes to the groin and elbow strikes to the groin being legalized.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I think commissions are finally coming around to the absurdity of the rules. Colorado allowed ONE to work in their state without any stipulations, Georgia will follow suit, this year. Now this, from Cali. Things are looking up.

And also head stomping a downed opponent would increase ratings.

Yeah, but they still banned oblique kicks, so I guess they're still a bunch of liberal pussies or something, idk.


Ima be honest, this might be better than the old AND unified rules, but it's still not accurate, which kinda shows that, as much as people bitch about the rule, no one seems to write a better definition. Cuz the thing is: although having a hand on the ground doesn't automatically mean you're grounded, as people take advantage of, it still absolutely CAN mean it.

Watch legions of casuals now using this definition to prove "Conor wasn't knocked down!"

I think removing the gray area is the move. Now can they pass it and can they get other places to adopt it? Those are the big questions.

Positions not locations. As in you should be able to knee from side control or from a front headlock position, etc.

 

[Dimbis]

So Aljo can still be on his knees right in front of someone? That’s wack.

 

[PrideNverDies]

Legalize knees! Free the knee! One Championship does it best

Cheick?

Special clause to give Jones his loss back

Only if we can retroactively take points for every blatant foul.
