This grounded rule: "get on all fours, bend the knee in front of your opponent, put your hand on the ground instead of defending yourself with it" needs to go dude.

They changed the eye gouge rule to give more time and a couth to the fighter. Now they need to focus on this. **** the 12 to 6 elbow this is much more important. 

Fighters are taking advantage of this rule way to much. It's taking MMA away from the closest thing to a anything goes the most real fight scenario that it should be.

@Sexy Beefer 
Prettty insane to think we in europe can watch all UFC events for  ~40 dollars per year on eurosport, instead of all those insane ppv prices for you guys. Might be possible for you too by using a VPN?

I would buy PPVs or an all-access pass if it was reasonable. American consumers will eat up the $80 slop the UFC feeds us sometimes to the point where I can not justify spending $1k+ a year to be a UFC fan when it's so easy to stream.

I'm watching the PPV for free on Bet365, no idea how they get away with it but I assume they're not illegally streaming it lol.

In real time no less, no delay.
