What would happen if the UFC went back to UFC 1 rules now?

[froggyluv]

gary goodridges arm and lat

 

[BringBackTRTforFairness]

gary goodridges arm and lat

fair point he was like an arm wrestler lol

 

[tenniswhiz]

He was a rapist.
You have to make a special case for that.
It was the right thing to do and the good Lord only blessed Hackney with this knowledge.

pretty sure jon jones would have killed someone by now, probably matt hammill

How would the modern MMA fighters do compared to the bunch of losers the gracies beat?

JDS vs Cain with UFC 1 rules would have been a blast

As would Anderson Silva vs anyone, I see Anderson adapting the best unless Sonnen started to headbutt with the x2 leg like Coleman used to do

It would be a hell of allot more exciting !!

With this gif it's not hard to see why it was basically banned

 

[dudefacemcghee]

Would watch.

Wmma would suddenly overtake mma in popularity

 

[Which Doctor]

UFC investment group makes back the rest of their money in 1 year.

 

[Mangar]

Keith Hackney would come back and be a powerhouse.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

It would get rid of all the pretty-boy hipsters infesting the sport
