Knees to a down opponent, will it ever happen?

ONE rules are superior to the UFC's.



The problem with soccer kicks is that the cage becomes a weapon. If a downed opponent has their head against the cage, a stomp or soccer kick effectively makes it into a weapon because your head is trapped (unlike in a ring.)

I do want knees to a downed opponent. Can't stand this new trend of turtling in MMA. Like who the hell would ever do that in a real life situation. That would never happen.

VERY easy solution.

1 meter warning track around fence.

No knees, soccer kicks or stomps there.

Inside of that... protect yer fucking head.


Ridiculously easy solution.

I think I heard Luke Thomas say that the rules are going to be revisited this year and there's a good chance that 12-6 ellbows and knees to a downed opponent are going to be allowed.

And my dad is finally coming home with that pack of smokes he went out to get in 1979...
