YOU CAN KICK THEM. JUST NOT HERE. 🚫

In the UFC if one knee touches the mat you are considered a grounded opponent.

Your opponent cannot kick or knee you in the head. It sounds simple but this rule causes controversy constantly.

Soccer kicks to a downed opponent are banned in the UFC but legal in some international MMA promotions.

The difference between legal and illegal can be one inch. 🥊

We’ll go first — ADDICTION. Because once you’re in there’s no getting out. 🥊

The Most Dangerous Punch in Combat Sports 🚫

It doesn’t look illegal. That’s what makes it so dangerous. One strike to the back of the head and the fight is over — permanently.

This is why the rabbit punch is an immediate DQ in every combat sport on the planet.

The Best Fighter Alive (And Most People Sleep On Him) 🏆

Jon Jones built the throne.

But this man is sitting on it right now — and he just gave $367K back to his country to build the next generation. Merab Dvalishvili is different.

IT WAS LEGAL ONCE. THEN THIS HAPPENED. 🚫

In the early days of the UFC headbutts were completely legal.

Fighters used them constantly to open cuts and stun opponents. When the Unified Rules of MMA were adopted in 2001 headbutts were banned immediately.

They cause severe lacerations, concussions and can fracture orbital bones.

One of the most important rule changes in MMA history. 🥊

GSP. Jones. Khabib. Silva. Fedor. The debate never gets old because the answer is never simple.
