Rare double post day!!!
…..Okay this event happened a little while ago over in China. Notice that there are some significant rule changes compared to what is currently in the UFC. Namely you can strike or kick a downed opponent.
It definitely has that old school feel!
See You On The Mats!

I like that… changes the dynamic and keeps the fighters from playing footsie and resting on their back, kicking just enough to keep the other guy from stepping in.
It definitely adds a great dimension but is also incredibly dangerous for the fighters. The old Pride and early UFC also allowed kicks to a downed opponent and it does make it more exciting on every level.
