Knees to a damn grounded opponent, yellow cards for stalling and get rid rid of the stupid win bonus.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

true if huge

 

[DatSamboKid]

They should revisit glove design to solve the root cause of eye pokes.

 

[hardcoreBE]

Who the fuck cares about the color of the sleeves?

 

[spooNN]

They can't even follow or understand the current rules right now.

 

[arcadeperfect]

Allow upkicks to be legal even when the guy on top is "grounded." Silva vs Okami 1 should've never been a DQ.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

Upkicks from guard in any circunstance ...



Stop to protect wrestlers !

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

......

 

[Dude Incredible]

Well at least the eye poke thing will give clarity as that's what some refs have been doing anyway. Really inconsistent.

Not like Nevada will pick these new changes up any time soon... as they still haven't adopted the full new unified rules.

[Prince Nephilim]

No major changes. Patch notes to the rules to fix little bugs and glitches.
