When are they allowing knees to the head of a drowned opponent?

[wrestlefan]

I've heard they were doing away with the rule where if a hand is on the mat you can't be kneed in the head, but is this actually coming into effect or is it just hearsay?

I think it's been far too long. It would stop incidents like Weidman/GEgard where Weidman tried to game the system. Also remember Gonzaga gaming the system years ago too.

If they could change the rule on 12-6 elbows and allow up kicks from the bottom, it would be a major improvement in the sport. And do away with stand ups as well.

Tomorrow. A hand on the ground is not a grounded opponent. A knee on the ground is grounded.

Just Bleed Era again, can't wait!

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Time to punish the rule bending fighters that want to game the system. Can't wait for one to reach down instinctively and get blasted.

They should at least be resuscitated after drowning in order to defend themselves against the knees

Now time to get rid of the one knee on the ground don't knee me pls rule.
And the I'm glad you can't upkick me to defend yourself so I'm going to smash your skull in with elbows rule.

Bring back swords and lions!

Waiting for another Josh Koscheck to come along...they'll get skin grafts from their knees attached to the bottoms of their feet so  technically part of their knee is always touching the ground.

They should bring back eye gouging and biting while they are at it.

It's dawg eat dawg.

CPR first then, knees to the head once resuscitated.

Instead of 'flogging a dead horse' ...

We will be 'Kneeing a drowned corpse'

 

[HavokHarmon]

I think once they’ve drowned the knees are kind of a moot point.

This feels wrong.

I think instead of getting 5 minutes to recover from a groin shot you get to kick your opponent in the crotch for 5 minutes.
