ONE Championship bans use of soccer kick in fights

ONE Championship takes measures to improve on the sport's 'human cockfighting' image as the company looks to go mainstream

"International" rules has forgotten the phenomenal techniques we used to see in Asian MMA

I for one have lost most interist in ONE since the banning of the soccer kick

What a rediclious theory that they are bad for the image of the sport...WTF

Idk man, there's something about seeing a guy getting kicked in the face while on the ground that just makes a lot of people uneasy

Watched almost every early event with the kicks. Can’t remember the last time I’ve watched since they got rid of them.

If you're in or watching an unarmed street fight, the head stomping is what signals to everyone that things have moved on from a bar fight to attempted (and perhaps successful) homicide. It's culturally, for good reason, taboo.

I've always begrudgingly accepted the no-head stomps rule because of this. But I think the lack of grounded knees (which still look bad but not as bad) fundamentally breaks MMA.

It was a great decision by ONE to continue allowing grounded knees

For me, yes. It added to the intrigue of the promotion

I pretty stopped watching when they did. The cage was bad enough and then the loss of one of the only org to allow them soured me almost completely on them.............

you have an excellent point but I think round kicks and ground knees are MMA 101

Banning head stomping is understandable however i will always believe its frightening to behold yet not as dangerous as it seems
