Soccer kicks. I have a question for anyone with some knowledge.

[frye666]

Are these stomps allowed under pride rules? What I was pondering, was getting a stomp the the back of the neck allowed? The old brain stem can be dislocated there, and really it can be done without a huge amount of force. And then it is pretty much death.
I know I have soccer kicks in the title, but I would assume stomps to the head go in the same category.

They aren't allowed in the UFC either....but they happen all the time

Why thank you for the answer. And thanks for adding in the noob part. I like when the kids go millennial. It makes me as an old guy feel pretty much a lot more alpha.

Well for what it's worth, no one died in Pride, so whatever system they had seemed to work.

Really the only way you would stomp the back of someone’s head would be if they were prone and you were disengaged enough that they would have space to move if they could.

Basically what I’m saying is, you really could only stomp someone’s neck if they were already facedown unconscious, or did it blatantly intentionally. We’re not talking about an errant hammerfist from turtle.

I would rather have soccer kicks and knees than elbows in the rules. Cuts make doctors stop fights, soccer kicks and knees let the fighters end fights..also really liked the 10 min first round.

I was just wondering about it because I seen a gif of someone doing it tonight, and it made me think if it was an allowed move. Because it is sure as fuck dangerous.

Yeah, because he clearly wrote "head stomps" in the title right?!

And the post above mine already answered the question.

Lastly, why the fuck do you care??

Someone posts something about head stomps, you know the gifs are going to follow.

Upset I beat you to it?

It was totally legal to soccer kick and stomp but just not to the back of the head.

Here is an example of the ref jumping in after Dirty Bob commits the foul versus Matsui.

Axe kick with the heel to the back of the head. Extremely dangerous and disgraceful. Dirty Bob was truly ruthless

Edit: soul on ice beat me to it.
