Sandman would have taken that fight if not for dirty-antics. James trains with the best, and you can see by his body that he does not take this game lightly. He has this in his heart and given a fair fight he can hold his own! Also rules have to be followed to allow fairness///we are not living in Rome watching gladiator fights to the death are we? Don’t sit on your couch thinking this is easy to be, try it yourself?

if the fighter is on the ground and your standing you can get a lot more power in your kicks and knees so there is a difference

I saw that live! Irvin looked like crap after he took the knee. He laid there inmobil for almost 7 minutes. Irvin could have taken him out though for sure.

Knees to a downed opponent are disallowed,but knees to an up-right one are allowed. Why the difference?
Either you ban knees or you don’t. I’ve never quite understood UFC on this one.

what s the difference between a knee on the ground and a knee standing , the level of damage is the same and would even says that a knee to the head in a clinch situation is much more dangerous. And you can broke the eye socket orbital bone or whatever standing or in the ground , you can see that in the fight bob sapp vs crocop . It s just that the ufc wants to promote wrestling and grappling thats all…..

Knees on the ground to be legal? we may as well start introducing weapons as well then

I still want knees on the ground to be legal.

I don’t see what the problem is. The knee was down, you wait til he gets back up to hit him. I don’t care if Irvin was barely touched or whether it really rocked him (he had a fucking concussion), the strike was illegal.

And for those who say he was pussing out - watch the fight again. Cane got rocked by several strikes from Irvin. I’d have called the stand-up even up til then.

The people who criticize rules that protect fighters are wastes of life. If you want a gladiator fight, go walk the streets of any major city, you’ll find a no-rules fight in progress sooner or later. If you want to keep seeing good fighters come back to fight again, they’ve got to have some protection against unnecessary bullshit. Not a single one of you would say shit about those rules if you were fighters and had to face the consequences if they weren’t there.

How’s going blind for the rest of your life sound? Strikes to the back of the head can damage both the occipital lobe of your brain(responsible for sight) and the brain stem. Knees to the face of a stationary and downed opponent can destroy the orbital bones, which can potentially permanently blind a fighter in one eye. The rules exist for a good reason and I personally think they’re a great thing.

But no, some of you would rather see a man crippled for life for your amusement. Grow up.

being able to avoid a knee in a clinch by just putting a leg down is totally dumb , before being ufc fighters these guys are freefigther and they know that in a fight you must protect your face at all time and being able to be safe by just putting a leg down is totally unreal.
