Is head crushing legal in MMA?

[fries in the bag]

I've seen plenty videos of strongmen and rock climbers crushing watermelons, metal objects, whatever with their bare hands.

Makes me wonder if this was allowed in fighting, everyone would be scared of getting controlled on the ground?

People like Oliveira who comfortably lie on their back, like this is some sort of homo-erotic game,
would surely think twice about letting the opponent get on top of them.

If head-crushing was allowed, as soon you take someone's back, their head would be crushed inward like the submarine in the Mariana trenches.

No more wrestling around waiting for a rear-naked choke, or ground and pound that fails because no one knows how to do it properly like Ngannou.

------

Speaking of which, if illegal moves were allowed in MMA, I would imagine we would have more exciting fights and also different champions.

MMA, is totally not representative of what would happen in a real fight,
when there are crotch kicks, eye gouging, mouth tearing, ear rips, dual hand frontal neck choke to death.

------

Thoughts?
Would you allow someone to squeeze your head until implosion?

Probably doable, if you hit Tito's cracked skull with a violin when he's reaching for those grapes.

great khali move?

Imagine it.

Bruce Buffer steps into the Octagon. Carefully stepping his shiny shoes over the smushed brains on the Octagon floor.

"Referee Marc Goddard has called an end to this contest at 14 seconds of the first round, due to loss of cranial matter.
And THE WINNER.... by way of Head Crushing... Eddie.... THE BEEEEEAST... HALL..."

The doctor steps in, staring down at the corpse. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Dana sends in the clean up team. A spade and bucket to scoop up the remains of the debutant's shatter skull and parietal lobe.

Post-fight interview: "We'll sort him out. He took himself to the hospital as a precaution. Er, yeah. So, I mean, Conor for the title makes sense".

Wonder why no one has tried the Khali Ma in the UFC?

Head crushing is banned because they were trying to get the sport legalised in certain states back in the day

Apparently back in the day when they were creating the rules they were shown a video of this Shaolin Monk who squeezed a guys skull until it exploded like a watermelon so that's why they never allowed it.

Why crush their head when you can 1-inch deathpunch them

 

[Diet Butcher]

Kimo tried it on Shamrock at UFC 8

It's the difficulty, not the legality. It's legal as long as you don't touch their eyes, inside of their mouth or the back of their head. I've trained UFC for over 3.50 years and almost pulled this technique off once. Sadly, my opponent grew bored of waiting for their head to explode and punched me hard in the middle of the facial area.
