RE: Obvious (upon review) cheat in UFC: Do we need a rule change?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

yeah, I understand why the rule exists but in combat sports the whole idea is to actually hurt the other person. Why is it that certain kicks towards a downed opponent are allowed in virtually every other MMA promotion?

I don't know the rules, but thinking about it when you are fighting on the floor in MMA you try and pin their arms so you can get a clean shot in. I can understand the logic behind not allowing to hit someone when they are down, but this is fighting and safety and fighting are two opposites.
