We need rule changes

[SouthoftheAndes]

Basically all of tonight's decisions could of been finishes if knees to the head, upkicks, and soccer kicks were legal. We can hold off on stomps but dang it would make it so more exciting.

Also implement yellow cards.

This goes double for tonight. Someone well connected should start this #rulechanges #priderulesnow.

You got my vote.

Upkicks and soccer kicks should be legal imo.

You can make a compelling argument for why knees to the head are insanely dangerous and shouldn't happen, I personally agree with that rule

Add the stomps in too. This is MMA.

Really soccer kicks to downed opponents before knees? I'd be down I just always heard the reverse order of things. Apparently people feel knees to downed opponents is less 'barbaric than kicks'.

If memory serves me correctly Dana white is pro knees to head, and upkicks but is anti soccer kicks and stomps and so is Joe Rogan. Or rather Rogan isn't anti soccer kicks but sees them as potentially too dangerous. Knees to the head tend to end fights quick and don't have potential to break a neck as much as a soccer kick apparently does. I remember watching a video on how a misplaced soccer kick from a pro soccer player at the neck could break a neck. Of course mma fighters aren't kicking with shoes on nor are they loading up 150% and running into the kick.

If anything they could make the rule which prevents anyone from doing a running start into the kick.

I guess it depends on who's throwing it, Edson Barboza could kill somebody, but 99% of people in UFC I don't think would do that significant of damage, but maybe I have no clue what I'm talking about, knees to the head while an opponent is down seems worse to me
