Screw the rule on not grabbing the cage

[The UFC Brander Collector]

Yeah, people use it rarely, because it is forbidden. If it is allowed, plenty of top names will just stay near the fence for safety. It would also look less marketable, to watch one grown man trying to peel another from the fence for 30 seconds. Just bleh.... From any standpoint, this rule has to stay and probably be enforced a bit more strickly than it is now.

Definitely pretty pointless when it is allowed in a way

Electric fence. Keep it centered and standing.

People will use it to hold people against the cage too, it will help impose grappling.

I personally believe that all fighters should wear rollerskates in the octagon. They would be so much faster, and leg kicks would hurt like a motherfucker.

I personally would prefer Ice skates.
Also, they should allow grabbing the fence, but make it electrified.

fence-grabbing is so badly enforced, they may as well make it legal.

I don't agree with this post, but I gave you a like for Norm

 

[Adamant]

Lets go all the way and allow this too...

That would be really badass if it actually happened.

MVP would be unstoppable with his iron grip

I do agree it’s a bad rule. Make it plexiglass if you don’t want anyone grabbing it. It’s human nature to grab the cage and everyone does it, and the attempts or enforce or rectify cage grabbing incidents are never satisfactory.

Blood splatter on the glass - Yes Please!

If we legalize the throwing the opponent out of the cage they should make a pit they fall in

 

[Kryptt]

What's the (desire) deal with all these rediculous rules alterations lately?

 

[Hunter-killer]

Seriously. No one wants to see two sweaty bloody guys pressed up against plexiglass,jockeying for position

Holy shit, not this stupid Plexiglas shit again

I didn’t say plexiglass was a realistic solution. I know people would get fucked up. Not to mention the cage is a recognizable part of UFC marketing at this point, it’s not going away. I’m just not a fan of how the fence grabbing rule is currently working out.

I just think fighters should be granted a revolver of their choice.

hw’s throwing slugs, 155 throwing 9mm, lil dudes throwing .22lr

Stupid comparison

 

[Ladder Master]

It is basically legal.

 

[snugglecakes]

Replace the fence with plexie glass like hockey... solved… it’s made for multiple big doods in hockey gear to get rammed into it and absorb the shock

 

[blewgums]

Okay, but let's keep the rule about not grabbing the referee's ass.

'Cause it could get pretty weird real fast like......

Let's just start a real life Roller Ball league

It's a good rule

1) fence grabs prevent action
2) fence grabs will lead to broken fingers
3) fence grabs require 0 skill and can negate techniques that require a considerable amount of skill. Hence allowing fence grabs completely changes the meta of MMA
