If You Could Change 1 Rule in UFC

What would it be
the 12 to 6 elbows?
soccer kicks?

I would have to vote for allowing head butts like in the old days, remember Mark Colemans like 13 head butt combination on Maurice Smith? hahah

shit was fun back in the day

I just hate when a head butt breaks the action know

What would you guys change if you could change 1 rule

Allow knees to a downed opponent. Easy #1 for me

knees to the head of a grounded opponent.

Head butts

Does the 10 point must system qualify? I think some rounds should be scored 10-10.

Besides that I would say knees/kicks to a downed opponent.

Agree with Bobbitt and Bigs, gotta get the knees going...

great add guys with the knees to a downed opponent
what would Dan Severn have done without them

also holding the cage would probably be my 2nd

We got to make a rule where u can't mention fighters from the stone age

How bout changing the way fights are judged? I know that really isn't a rule but... If not, then kicks, knees and stomps to a grounded opponent. I don't really like elbows 12 to 6 or otherwise, not saying make them illegal but you rarely see elbows really do anything except cause cuts that end good fights.

Ouch.

no gloves

Kevin, we have to keep working to make it mainstream. Take the gloves off and invite McCain back to throw MMA into a negative spotlight? No thanks.

ha! now this was funny LA.

Ten to six elbows rule number 1.

Secondary is knees to the head of an opponent in a three or four point stance, especially during a sprawl. No knees to an opponent on back or fully on belly though.

I know man that hurt

for real tho knees all day

cant argue with the knees

I just think the head butts would add some more strikes from the full guard like they were in the old days

but yes the knees are great add

thanks for everyones take

Personally, I would like to see stomping on a downed opponent, like Rua used to do in Pride. But that brings us back to taking the sport out of the mainstream.

No elbows, ever.

Downed opponent defined as: having all four limbs touching ground, on back, on side. Thus, allowing kicks and knees to opponents who are on their knees, or with one knee down, on their knees and one hand on the ground, etc.

No upkicks from downed opponent.

Able to grab the fencing.

Blows to the back of the head of a downed opponent.

5 round #1 contender fights.

Soccer kicks and foot stomps.

Another vote for knees.

I wish for soccer kicks and stomps too but dont ever see that happening.

Outside of allowing three point strikes your rules would single handedly ruin the sport, lol.
