Steel cups should be mandatory in the UFC

[spunkbun**]

No one want to see fighters crying in pain over their balls. Sometimes they wine for a minute which leads to much boredom for the paying audience. As well as for me who isn't paying but that's beside the point.

What is important is this:

Look at this video from Thailand, where steel cups are used:
[YT]hIqhIik23_s[/YT]
&t=4m35s

He gets hit straight in the balls with a kick and just shakes it off thanks to the STEEL CUP.
MAKE IT FUCKING MANDATORY RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

I would rather the chance of a fight being stopped for a short period of time after a fighter has been kicked in the balls than have the whole fight stopped because of a broken foot.
Which would become a common occurrence. Replacing one problem with another is not the solution..

People would try and aim their nuts at their opponent's feet when their opponent goes for a kick, just so they could get a tko victory (broken foot).

I've never seen/heard of a Muay Thai match being stopped for this. Do you have any examples to back up your belief that this would be a common occurrence?

Fandom aside, I'd rather see someone who can't control his strikes sustain a foot injury than see a guy who's fighting clean get castrated by a wild shot.

On the other hand maybe the fighter who kicks his opponent in the groin deserves the chance of maybe breaking his foot.

sounds like a great idea TS, but has anyone ever broken their foot with the steel cups?

I have no idea, but a sparring partner of mine blasted my balls with an inside low kick and got a very swollen foot as a result. He had to abort the training session while I and my balls continued sparring. The shit works I tell you. More people should use it.

Bobby Green broke his foot from his last fight?

Your concern for other mens testicles is inspiring.

Manhoef's steel cup KO'ed Hunt though.

 

[R.I.O.T]

Fuck your feet. Learn to place your strikes correctly. I'd go a step further and say they should put a spike on it.

TS has elected himself as the guy who will go around and check to make sure everyone has their steel cup on.

Salute TS.

 

[AznTrojan]

imagine getting a concussion due to a steel cup from the north south position or from hunt's butt bomb..

You're welcome. Do you want to be co-fluffer?
