News Knees To Grounded Opponent(Hands-Down) WILL Be ALLOWED - Per UFC Broadcast

[Ladder Master]

Meh.

Knees should be allowed to the head at all times in all positions.

That is what MMA looks like.

 

[Kwic]

Still stupid to allow me to blast your head when you have 2 hands down but one knee down is "omg, he is defenseless!". So it he is defenseless have the ref stop the fuckig fight at that point.

 

[scoobster]

Good. 10 years or whatever it was too late but better late than never.

Now remove the dumbass 12-6 and the no knees to the head of a grounded opponent.

ufc 1 rules and let get some good fights happening

 

[Objectively Correct]

Great, now rebook Cejudo vs Sterling

 

[FilipEmoFights]

Wait this is knees to the head on the ground?

 

[Urluberluu]

Evloev crying

Are you kidding?! Even IA is confused with that "orgy with letters".

petr yan vs sterling rematch pls

 

[iLolAtNutShots]

Legalise nut shots next.

 

[Fedorgasm]

So now Jon Jones can't do that spider crawl that he opens his fights with.

Or he can, but now he can be kicked and kneed.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Hell yeah. I'm excited for this change.

 

[Trabaho]

Good. 10 years or whatever it was too late but better late than never.

Now remove the dumbass 12-6 and the no knees to the head of a grounded opponent.

12-6 makes sense. 12-6 can poke eyes out. It would produce to many broken faces and huge scars.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Finally. Its ridiculous how many fighters milked this technicality. Really ruins the flow of a fight

 

[TripleIDoubleH]

petr yan vs sterling rematch pls

Petr Yan can appeal to his UFC loss to Sterling and overturn it to NC and overturn Aljo's title wins to NC.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

They're FINALLY removing that rule per Laura Sanko on the Broadcast on October 1st.
It's only hands down, knee's and butt are still illegal, but its a GREAT start!

Thanks for the update! I was wondering.

 

[AmonTobin]

RIP Jon Jones crawl strategy.

With the current rules, that R1 start has always been obnoxious to me. He's basically set aside 3 seconds of the round for his opponents to watch his theatrics, knowing they can't kick at him until he's finished his little routine. Talk about ego.

 

[Mammothman]

JUST BLEED BITCHES.

 

[Mammothman]

I hope Evloev knee hims to living death

 

[AmonTobin]

Hell ya! Talk about finger walking! Great example. And probably one of many they considered while reevaluating this rule.

 

[Mammothman]

I'm happy we won't have to witness this bullshit anymore.
