Might just be me an you that get this...To the death NO!
To the pain.
Wow... haven't done one of these in a LONG time so I figured we're do...
What
SAY
You?
No it would force the top opponents to strike/improve position or go for a sub.with no options to strike a downed opponent besides punches I think it would create more LnP to be honest. Because once you have a guy down, getting active and creating distance to punch without it getting tangled up just opens you up to being sweep and subs. So what would be the incentive to do so when you can't knee, elbow or kick a downed opponent? If you just lay there under the unified rules and wrestlefuck a guy you will win the fight since the Unified has no yellow cards and points are almost NEVER taken away in the 10/9 scoring system.
Just my 2 cents...
Then let's take away the jab tooOpen's up the ground game.... less wrestlers staying in half guard and rabbit elbowing to stay active.
That's the reason why pride's grapplers were so interesting.
Tbh, the new unified rules, despite not having been adopted by every state, are pretty good. They fixed the downed opponent rule and tightened up the rule on eye pokes.
I just think some referees need to be better versed in them so that we avoid a Mousasi-Weidman disaster.
South Florida. Come get me.Next time I see you I'm gonna soccer kick your head.
Where do you live?
If Florida, that's too far.
It would cause most fighters to throw punches with open palms instead of fistsAlways thought this " bare knuckle will reduce hand injuries " was dumb , its not as if there gonna throw love taps at each other because there not wearing gloves
I'm terribly sorry but this was my first thought about Bale TudoVale Tudo. Bare knuckle will reduce and hand injuries IMO. The way fighting was intended to be.
Says who ?? Fighting is fighting , only the very select few fighters would have the composure during a fight to think about injuring there handsIt would cause most fighters to throw punches with open palms instead of fists
Yep my manjust bleed
there are plenty of fighters who's got weak ass hands, they'll stop punching after few breaks and most likely will use different strategy for their next fight especially if the broken hand costed them a lossAlways thought this " bare knuckle will reduce hand injuries " was dumb , its not as if there gonna throw love taps at each other because there not wearing gloves
Biting is my primary form of self defence - please don't take it away from meNo biting, no eye gauging, no fish-hooks, no time limit
That's how they used to do in Pancrase so I don't why fighters would just go and break their handsSays who ?? Fighting is fighting , only the very select few fighters would have the composure during a fight to think about injuring there hands
I really think a lot of this thinking has to do with Rogan waffling
In pancras yes but that was the rule set from the start , think it would be next to impossible the promote fighters to take on a pancreas style in modern mma ...... plus it would suckThat's how they used to do in Pancrase so I don't why fighters would just go and break their hands
