Change One Rule in the UFC

[turbotime]

What would it be? Mine is the 12 to 6 elbow.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Ban all elbows. Too many people are getting away with 12-6 elbows by playing with the rule.

 

[IneedSometop]

The three points of contact rule for knees/kicks to the dome

 

[SuperNerd]

+Grounded knees

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Knees to the head of a downed opponent should be allowed

12-6 elbows should be allowed

 

[SpecialDelivery]

One Dagestan fighter per division. They're dominant yet boring as F*ck. Disagree? Wait until you see the numbers they're PPVs and hype do.
Get over it

 

[ccc77]

No weight cutting. In practice perhaps something like weighing in every night for a week before the fight.

 

[dont_axe]

Seperate wmma cards

 

[mjoln]

Pride fc gloves please

 

[dmwalking]

Knees to the head of a downed opponent.

 

[Mal Intentions]

Ban all elbows. Too many people are getting away with 12-6 elbows by playing with the rule.

cant call it ultimate fighting and then not have one of the best weapons not allowed. cuts are a part of fighting as much as doctor stoppages suck

 

[RufusShinra]

Allow knees/kicks to the head of grounded opponent.

 

[Mal Intentions]

Seperate wmma cards

Seperate wmma cards

Only one division per weight class.

Same results, they would all be gone.

You rarely see 12-6 elbows.

 

[asdf122345]

Grounded Knees.

Would make the fights much more realistic

 

[turbotime]

Knees to the downed opponent should be legal

Definitely something bottom related as it's the most rule constrained position.

Y'all complain about fighters just laying on their opponent in guard, but say nothing about how the guy on the bottom isn't allowed upkicks, kidney strikes, back of the head strikes when your opponent just buries his head in your chest, 12-6 elbows (would only happen if your back is up right against the cage), and clothing to grab are taken away. Like no wonder they get laid on: the position is made even more difficult than it naturally should be.

From a pure fun perspective it's probably just the grounded rule in general though. The 3+ points of contact is dumb as fuck. 100% should be allowed to soccer kick or flying knee a guy who's on a knee or just putting his hand down. I'm fine if you want to continue banning those things to a guy actually on his back as THAT I'd say is too compromised of a position where you're making things very, very dangerous if you can soccer kick a guy there, but it's present situation is just nonsense and the fighter's are treating it as such.
