What if...headbutts never became illegal

[2004 account]

We'd have just bleed headbutt artists headbanging people the fuck out!

It would've evolved from basic in-guard headbutts from guys like coleman and Igor vovchachyn

To

flying headbutts from faked takedown attempts (think yoel's ko on weidman but with a headbutt instead of knee, that move'll be called the battling ram)

It would truly become an art form, even skinny dudes like Yair Rodríguez would be doing 360 spinning shit to headbutt ko's

Khabib would mualbutt people to living death!!

only reason they should stay illegal is to protect the hairlines

 

[JabToucher]

Tito Ortiz would still be champ!

We'd all be crying about lil head butts causing massive cuts and stopping fight too early

I'd watch 5sure. Interviews with fighters after their careers were over would be dark as fuck, though.

PFL doesn’t allow elbows for this same reason. Recovery between fights is to long from large lacerations.

flying headbutts should at least be legal to the guts

Khabib would be even more dominant. In combat sambo, headbutts and groin strikes are allowed, and he's a 2-time world champion so...

robbie lawler strikes me as the type to headbutt you to death

What's so wrong with a headbutt anyway? Somebody just didn't like it? Thought it was a cheap shot of some sort?
Seems like way less force than a 12-6 elbow. haha
