Demetrious Johnson Likes Pride Rules

[Chain Saw]

Mighty Mouse is cool as fuck. I agree with him.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Has no fans so he's trying to win over the pride fanatics.

Soccer kicks to the head should stay banned. They are pathetic and very dangerous.

Nah he's just a complete fighter, unlike McTapper.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Shame no one like him

In general, I agree that the rule doesn't go far enough. I'd be down for soccer kicks and 10 minute first rounds. But I don't think they should take elbows out of ground and pound, and I don't like the idea of stomps.

 

[Eater of Souls]

I would not take away elbows. I would bring back 12-6 elbows.

DJ is the prog rock of MMA.

Damned straight.
The irony that fighters have become better in skillset and fitness and yet the variables are reduced.

I'd like to see a full set of open rules minus dangerous fouls ala eye-gouging.

All of fighting is very dangerous that's the point.

Knees to a downed opponent are a huge weapon for wrestlers

The Pride romanticizing is nauseating. Keep your soccer kicks, knees on the ground, and barbaric stomping, I'm just happy we don't have tiny Japanese men at ringside molesting the fighters, fighters falling out of the ring, referees with earpieces, fixed fights, and all of the other bush-league shenanigans that went on with that failed organization.

Who the fudge is Maynard J Keenan???

Yes it is, but soccer kicks are the worst. It's a fight, not attempted murder.

With all the research coming out about NFL players and concussions now more than ever they should stay outlawed.

God even in street fights one of the unspoken rules is "don't kick a man while he is down" - let alone in a fight with rules and a ref.

It'd be the quickest way to get everyone to change their mind about MMA and get them thinking it's "human cock fighting" again.

Fighters safety should come first.

You're not winning any cool points in this thread.

Wasn't trying to. DJ is a Tool.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Fuck the pussified rules. Bring back soccer kicks and kness to the head of a grounded fighter.

And make it harder for some guys to stall. Bringing a few things back would cut down on lay-and-pray.

This is why I smile every time I see Wanderlei KO'd. He's blatantly grabbing the ropes.
