The grounded opponent rule(loophole) is dumb. (video)

[Orlando Rosæ]

Anyone who puts their hand down to avoid being kicked in the head is asking for trouble. Never trust your safety to a guy who wants to knock you unconscious.

that moron had his hand off the ground.

I've never fought in MMA so my opinion is pretty much invalid, but I think they should do away with that rule. It's not cool when guys play that game. Knees on the ground, ok. But fingertips on the ground and you're considered a grounded opponent? IDK about how fair that is.

Did that guy dragging his hand train with Greg Jackson?

I love it!

I agree. Putting your hand down like that shouldnt stop someone from doing exactly what that kid did. Bet you he doesnt pull that kind of shit again lol

You beat me too it. There's a pro fighter who fights in the smaller shows who is notorious for doing this kind of stuff, but he actually plants his hand down.

That's not protecting yourself at all times, that's letting someone else do it... and he didn't

I hope somebody kicks that guy in the face too.
