News California Trying To Be First State with MASSIVE Change to Kneeing Grounded Opponent and REMOVING 12-6 Elbow Rules in UFC

[DarthChen731]

Only if we can retroactively take points for every blatant foul.

I kinda like the rule (weight-bearing) as it is now.. just introduce/enforce it everywhere. I don't like this if it eventually leads to soccer kicks.

Nah, that rule is absolute trash, this is the right move and soccer kicks are awesome.

 

[EndlessCritic]

It's an improvement, but still stupid.

There's no reason to prohibit knees to a grounded opponent at all.

I like sports though, with rules, and I come from that from the start. I generally have no issues that there is rules, I am not from the Joe Rogan school of fight thought. A one sport man.

Good change but still doesn't go far enough. There should be no limits to knees in any position.

This, and i want soccer kicks too.


The 12 to 6 elbows can crack the weak part of the skull though when stuffing a TD so not so sure about that.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Yeah, but they still banned oblique kicks, so I guess they're still a bunch of liberal pussies or something, idk.


Ima be honest, this might be better than the old AND unified rules, but it's still not accurate, which kinda shows that, as much as people bitch about the rule, no one seems to write a better definition. Cuz the thing is: although having a hand on the ground doesn't automatically mean you're grounded, as people take advantage of, it still absolutely CAN mean it.

Watch legions of casuals now using this definition to prove "Conor wasn't knocked down!"

He was almost knocked down, he caught himself

According to Ariel Helwani it will allow fighters to FINALLY knee opponents with their hands down and ABOLISHING 12-6 Elbow Rule

You guys into it?

I'm so confused... something good is being done... by California???

But there's already a rule against strikes to the back of the head.

12-6 elbows are not worse than other elbows, and the rule is hard to enforce consistently because any arc at all makes the elbow legal.

12-6 is a crushing action which would eventually crush the skull, no?

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

I don't like grounded knees, I think it would change too much the dynamics of MMA, but i'm ok with 12-6 elbows

 

[Brit_Brawler]

God bless California, God bless the US of A and most of all God bless God.
Can they add soccer kicks to the head of a Downed opponent and head stomps too please?

Kneeing a downed opponent will force wrestlers to find a new way sir.
Its also an extremely effective position.

 

[GreenGorilla]

If this really happens Iam perma muting the sound and just play this in the background the whole event.

 

[markys00]

Positions not locations. As in you should be able to knee from side control or from a front headlock position, etc.

Ah. I see. So some limits. Sheesh, I thought you were the just bleed god himself.

Ur joking yea? I can't freaking tell anymore
