These 5 UFC Rules NEED to Change (ASAP)

The UFC rules are not perfect and need to be fixed in various ways. The unified rules of MMA that the UFC has adopted have led to silly rules like the 12 to 6 elbow and the grounded knee to be banned. Meaning that fighters like Jon Jones would get a disqualification loss for hitting Matt Hamill with 12 to 6 elbows. As well as Petr Yan getting a disqualification loss for hitting Aljamain Sterling with Knees to a grounded opponent. Both of these techniques should be completely legal in the UFC rules. Other corrections to the MMA rulebook would be to start the beginning of UFC rounds in the same position as the previous rounds ended as Joe Rogan has advocated for in the past. Headbutts are another technique that should be allowed in striking exchanges in the UFC and other MMA promotions because they allow fighters to break out of stalling positions in the UFC octagon. I also believe that if a UFC fighter digs their fingers into the glove of another UFC fighter, that should be an automatic point deduction. 0:00-Grounded knees 07:25-Starting Rounds in Previous Position 13:07-Glove Grab Penalty 15:01-12 to 6 Elbows 22:02-Headbutts
