MMA without these rules to me is like Boxing but you canā€™t throw body shots or uppercuts.

Makes it a much less exciting sport and allows people to hide behind these gay rules in order to avoid being hurt.

Knees and soccer kicks need to be allowed. If you fail on a takedown you deserve to be punished. This shit wouldā€™ve stopped someone like a Fitch, Gamrot, etc who repeatedly took shots without set up because of no concern of getting his brain rocked.

@MasterOfMartialArts do you think knees and kicks to downed opponents would also help against Islam/Khabib?

I imagine they would against Khmazat who spams the same takedown over and over

They use a lot of upper body technique takedown. I canā€™t recall too many times where they got caught in front facelock while on their knees.

I agree with what @Cyberc92 said

There is a lot of judo in what they do

Knees to a downed opponent would help against guys like Gamrot and yes 100 percent against the blast doubles of Chimaev.

But I also think Chimaev could have kneed DDP in the head from that side mount position or moved to north south and kneed him from there

Yes, it opens up gnp opportunities for top players who pass guard.

Imagine Gable Steveson fucking up some dudes with knees on the ground.

Dagis would probably use sweeps to create scrambles where they end up in the front facelock position and bash someoneā€™s head with knees.

I would love to see some faces getting caved in that way

They would create a system off this footsweep; if you belly down expect to get caught in a front facelock or head/arm and get blasted with knees.
