Lets be honest, its complete b.s. strikers cant grab the cage to prevent the takedown

[Mmmmmmma1234]

So grapplers can push us against the cage to establish position but we cant use the cage to prevent takedowns? Seems very biased towards the grappler right? Wrestlers are protected by that and lack of soccer kicks and knees to downed opponents imo.

You sound like a terrible mma competitor if 'we' really means you train/compete mma you're in the wrong sport.
Like many I suspect you're just crying fan of a one dimensional fighter who got embarrassing beat by a strong wrestler so you made a thread.

 

[Losfer Words]

they should let strikers wear one boxing glove

 

[tasticles]

Low blows too while were at it!

It usually didn't change the outcome very often when they were legal. People would just be like ahh my nuts but keep fighting.

 

[theTKDguy]

If the grappler can hold the cage too, i am fine with it...

i agree

 

[VinceArch]

Pretty dumb idea, TS.

The solution for most things people don't like in MMA nowadays is bringing back Pride rules.

 

[FlyThaiMMA]

I agree. You say "push us" are you a fighter?

Us? You are definitely not a fighter so why say us?

My last fight was two years ago but i plan on competing again next year

 

[FlyThaiMMA]

It beats the point of fighting if you can grab the fence. Why not give the striker a baseball bat too?

In fights environment is a big factor. If we fight at a bar and you try to take me down i can grab things like the bar counter or something to stop you

Bad example maybe but hopefully you get my point

Then I see you were banned from sherdog previously. Maybe MMA isn't for you.

Maybe not lol

 

[Sjb1888]

Strangely I've never really thought about that, but I kinda agree, it would be more entertaining and less weighted in grappler favour.

 

[Project 86]

every fight starts standing so strikers start with the advantage

 

[Sjb1888]

I was literally just thinking earlier that it's ridiculous you cant grab it to stand up. (Was rewatching Khabib McG)

Dont think you should be allowed to grab it while being taken down though due to possible injuries from grabbing.

Surely the injuries in that case would likely be self inflicted and therefore at your own risk?

 

[MakeSherdogGreatAgain]

I say the only rule should be no weapons. Beyond that, everything should be legal. I'm being 100% serious too. If it's legal, the fighters will have to learn to work around/defend against it.

Edit: On second thought, groin shots, eye gouging, biting, and fish hooking should also not be allowed.

 

[Dark Individual]

They should electrify the fence.

Best idea so far

No shit that wrestlers are protected?! Maybe because it is an american "sport", to american people most of the times. See the numbers of athletes of each country and realize.

 

[Azderiel]

Maybe not lol

Goodluck to you either way. If it's your dream, go for it. But you should probably learn to respect and appreciate the ground game.

 

[delbosque]

Dude's kinda got a point.

 

[markg171]

The whole unified rules are made for americans and their shitty stall-wrestling.

UFC 1 was made for BJJ.

 

[Rockapotomuss]

I agree and it’s also bs you can’t jump off the top of the cage or else wwe would dominate mma
