Headbutting should be legal

[Regal Boy]

It's a very effective technique that changes the clinch game and the ground game considerably. It shouldn't be banned.



12-6 elbows should also be legal as should kneeing/kicking the head of a downed opponent. Yes, biting and eye gouging and fishhooking and testicle shots/shots to the back of the head can be illegal but we should aim to be as close to rule-less as possible if this is supposed to be the ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP.

Simmer down. No, no they shouldn't. This isnt 1993.

I miss the good ole days of Mark Coleman sitting in someone’s guard just head butting the hell out of them.

 

[Fluffernutter]

I agree.

So, who do you think shot JR?

Joe Rogan got Shot?

 

[HHJ]

Well its not,so though titty.

Joe Rogan got Shot?

No, short. 5'6'' at best.

They were originally banned to remove the cuts/blood that made politicians refer to MMA as human cockfighting, in an attempt to get it legalized by athletic commissions.

With the exception of biting and eye gouging I would like to see everything else allowed including testicle smashing Keith Hackney style.

 

[revoltub]

Yeah and they should also be able to hold the fence

 

[Fluffernutter]

[dipstickjimmy]

Yeah I know what meant but I didn't want to show how old both you and I are.
Still not sure who shot Mr Burns

 

[Krixes]

Headbutts are a must in street fights, idk about cage fights.

 

[empsim]

Soccer kicks are usually just to inflict more damage to someone who is already done. We dont need that shit....

I agree with grounded knees and headbutts, they are an important part of fighting and should be legal.

 

[j18lee]

Yeah and they should also be able to hold the fence

I lean toward allowing both headbutts and holding the fence as well. I mean, are head butts really more dangerous than a flying knee (like the one that cracked Cyborg Santos’ skull)? If flying knees are legal than headbutts prob should be too.
As for fence holding being illegal, isn’t it the gayest shit that the ref keeps playing pattycake with a fighter grabbing onto the fence during a MMA fight? It’s a fucking fight, “as real as it gets” right?

Yes exactly they put the fence there and expect you not to grab it well then dont put a fence there. You can run on it hold someone against it jump off it but can't grab it makes no sense

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Naw but I think soccer kicks should be legal - when the heel hookers go it you should be allowed to kick them in the face (especially when you're both down).

 

[Max Power]

Headbutting is probably the single most stupid thing one can do in a fight.
