Interesting. I wonder if there are some fighters who dislike it. Nick Diaz maybe.

I don't see it as dirty, it's part of fighting if you don't want the fight to get stopped because of a cut then don't get hit so much =)

Though I do understand that some people cut easy. But it doesn't seem to be a problem in MMA right now

Certain practices might be frowned on, but might be better than losing. Like grabbing the fence to pull yourself up.
In baseball, you are not supposed to throw at a batter. If you do, you're supposed to get evicted from the game. But brushing a hitter back is ok, just don't try to hit the guy. We establish the rules and most guys play by the rules, but some give in to the wrong temptations, like using steroids. The better guys normally play by the rules.

The fence thing has developed into an applied rule that you can grab the fence, but if you do the ref will pull your hand off of it. The only instance I can think of where a point was actually deducted was Ortiz/Evans I.

as for grabbing the fence, i think it too is fair game to grab and release the fence or what i like to call "palming." but NEVER to grab it improve position or to prevent a slam. Refs have been good to slap a hand away put stopping the fight to warn a fighter just seems counter productive.

i have seen some fighters throw a "slower" elbow just for that purpose when they have a down opponent. its sorta like their using their elbow as a cutting device.
