Paddy Pimblett wants UFC to introduce rule enabling a forgotten technique

Paddy Pimblett has said he would like the UFC to enable fighters to kick and knee the head of opponents on the ground.

Says he's not keen on head stomps cos the head has nowhere to go lad. But would welcome back kicking/kneeing the head of a grounded opponent.

Agree? Disagree?

 

[italiamusica]

Agreed, I love watching ONE and seeing when a takedown gets stalled on the ground, that the knees to the head immediately start going. It makes for more action and more exciting fights, plus if you can kick someone with all of your weight behind your shin, right on their jaw, then that's just as bad if not worse than knees to a grounded opponent.

 

[Dr Fong]

It's best that any regulatory lobbying efforts focus on grounded knees separately.

Soccer kicks make people particularly squeamish and linking them together will kill off the chance of knees, which are an easier sell.

MMA is completely fucked without grounded knees. It's a retarded sport without them.

First guy Gable gets north-south on dies?

 

[Kwic]

Of course.

 

[HerpDerp]

I agree. And if not that, then at the very least they should exempt upkicks from the "no kicks to the head of a grounded opponent" rule.

Double foot flying head stomps

I don't mind any but I can understand that soccer kicking someone it's a really hard sell.

Specially since the best time to do it would be after knocking someone out on their feet. Like that follow up punch that we don't mind much that the guy is already done and the fighter does out of instinct, not realizing the other guy is cooked.

But a soccer kick to a opponent that's out would be brutal tv.

hells yea. make sprawl and brawl great again.

But a soccer kick to an opponent that's out would be brutal tv.

It’s like taking the short bus through the shadow realm.

I’ll allow it

 

[Natural Order]

I knew I liked this kid.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Absolutely! And Paddy is the perfect guy to take the first, newly legal soccer kick!

First guy Gable gets north-south on dies?

First guy Gable gets anything on dies, imo tbf
