I am ignorant but I have watched selected UFC bouts and wonder if it isn't too unregulated or lacking in safety rules.
If so many things are legal like a forearm to the face what about a missed forearm to the throat?
Also, with the recent 13 second knockout for a championship don't these people need to learn to keep their arms up and protect themselves.
Like I said, I am ignorant of UFC but with such loose rules I hope it is just the old entertainment wrestling?
I was a great fan of boxing and still am a little.

Would be interested in some input on this because UFC looks so bad and unregulated but has been around so long.

Thanks!

ufc only has two rules.

1 you walk in.

2 you walk out.

only one person can follow both rules.

simple game, easy to tell the winner.

there are rules in place for those things not to happen, plus at the end of the day, all fighters have a code of honor. If you watch the fight closely, you see Aldo was coming in to land his own punch, as Gregor is stepping backward of course Aldo have to leap forward to get close and hit him, which he did but Greggor left hand is just more powerful.

Right. It is not the rules that prevent the better/luckier fighter from killing the other.

I'd mostly agree but there is a rule on elbow strikes that I think is certainly to prevent serious damage to a fighter beyond just losing. I'm not sure the official name of the rule but has to do with strike straight downward with the elbow.

I saw a fight a few years ago where a guy was on the ground and he got knocked silly by someone using this exact technique. After a few hits the fight was called and the 'winner' was ultimately disqualified for the elbow strikes.

:) You missed my point. Rules, don't prevent anything. It's the fighters' choice to follow rules that prevents death.

The opponents expect the other to honor the rules...as said the original post I responded to...a "code of honor."


BTW

Also, red lights don't stop cars at intersections. Look both ways before entering, even if you have the green light.

Also, laws don't prevent gun violence. Strap up.

the thing is, these fighters know the risk and they still willing to accept it, so who are we as spectator to tell them to stop what they are doing? simple enough, if you dont like getting hit with Elbows, go into boxing or other form of martial arts, but if you are a bad ass well then try your luck in MMA.

I'm willing to bet the death ratio in MMA is lower than traffic accident or gun violence. It just doesnt happen, no one has died from a punch to the throat or a kick in the balls. Even if it does happen (which I dont think it has), its like 1 match out of thousands.
 
there are some good fights scheduled for ufc 196 tonight...

mcgregor v diaz. mcgregor got sledge hammers for fists, an anvil for a face, and a mouth that will send anyone straight to hell. i bet he breaks that diaz kid into quivering pieces.

also holly holm v miesha tate. this one is more up in the air and i have a bet with daze823 on it for an ounce of tsptalk silver v a trump hat. if this fight goes to the ground much then tate is going to rip one of holms' limbs from the socket and beat holly over the head with it. if holly manages to stay on her feet then she will lightning quick like a bunny push her heel through miesha's teeth and out the back of her neck, make her a floppying blubbering vegetable.

besides trading the market and poker, this is the hottest bloodsport out there. gonna be some interesting fights tonight. where else can you see raw animal drive and dedication and desire with no brakes, these are rare qualities.

and how could anyone bet against this?

that's right holly honey, bring home the bacon, or at least my trump hat.
 
only about a half hour until the main card event starts, holler if you're watching.

and take another look at holm, look at her eyes and set jaw, don't ever bet against woman with that look in her eyes. gl daze823, we can exchange shipping info later if you want or i can let you know where to send my hat now.
 
oh they gonna start with the undercard girls, a russian v a brazillian. they both got killer braids. i'm going for the brazillian nunes. mainly because her first name is amanda. maybe she need a man da hug and squeeze.
 
dang, two judges score 30-27 for anderson? he only owned the 3rd round on the ground? booo. 1 for 2 tonight. that was rigged.
 
boo again. swede definately fought that one better. 1 for 3. where is the bone jarring knockouts and killing stuff? i didn't sign up for dancing with the stars.

ok i am for holm and then mcgregor in the last two. let's get to the real stuff.
