why don't fighters pinch?

[IamTheHero]

I have never heard of it being against the rules. It's not really manly but that shit hurts. I can see some useful situations where pinching would be effective. If a fighter got his back taken, he could reach around and pinch some soft flesh to get his opponent to release the choke. It would be a good technique to use to get your opponent to release whatever hold he's got.

Because they fear the forums of sherdog and the tidal wave off butthurt it would spawn.

It actually is against the rules.

No indian burns allowed either.

To hell with the critics. If I fought UFC, I would pinch, especially if I was a grappler. It seems like a technique more suited to grapplers. It's a way to manipulate your opponents arms. They are going to try to defend whatever you pinch. I think pinches are underutilized, and they will be the future of UFC

How about wet willies?

 

[ErnestoRoost]

How about pulling of the chest hair? like grabbing a handful accidentally on purpose?

No fingers in orifices either.

Sticking your fingers into orifices or cuts is illegal.

If pinching was legal, Bones would be all over it.

I actually use this technique pretty frequently when rolling. If I'm caught in a choke sometimes I can escape with a hard pinch. Tickling sometimes does the trick as well.

Are we talking nipples here as well as flesh? If so then maybe - i saw a movie where Rob Schneider did it to Don Frye, and Don was well scared of Rob from that moment. Could be just what the UFC needs to win back some credibility. Especially if the chicks get on it too.

No,but Jardine gave himself a tittie twister before his fights

Nipples are a good target. I was thinking more like the armpit area or the flesh around the ribcage. Any areas really tender and easy to grab and twist. I think nipples might be even better but they could be hard to grab if the dude has your back.

I know Hair Pulling is illegal, and small joint locks, but I don't think pinching falls under either of those.

Though another interesting question is whether hair pulling applies to only head hair...

Chicks pinching each other's nipples in a fight would be beyond amazing.

But it's illegal. It falls under flesh manipulation or however they word that one rule.

That IS amazing. I didn't even consider the women's fights. Women's nipples are so sensitive, I bet that that the winner of the fight would be decided by whoever secured the first nipple grab
