Yes.
Then you are a pansy..
Almost as much of a bitch as DC would be if he tried to tell on Jones for it.
That's career ending shit, not just fight ending. I want to be aw to watch these guys continue to fight.
But I am a pansy. I'm afraid of spiders, ice on the road, and intimacy.

I thought it was tough guys who were afraid of intimacy?
Directly attacking a joint is lowlife IMO. If a guy isolated an extended arm and broke the opponent's elbow in, people would be mortified.
The difference being the hyperextending of an armbar, kneebar allows for someone to tap before severe and career-altering damage is done. A purposeful strike to these same joints gives no opportunity for a tap.
Some people will always defend these moves, and I'd say if we went back to the old rules then fine. But we're clearly watching a sport now, not an actual fight. So let's try to preserve the talent while keeping the spirit of the competition intact (I know, slippery slope. Joint attacks is just where I'm drawing a line via my own opinions via training and working in this sport where I watch ammys/pros train all the time). We don't allow eye-gouging and throat-ripping. I don't think we should allow direct joint strikes either. Just one man's opinion.
Do you think heel hooks should be band, as well?
