The talk today is the inclusion of knee strikes on a downed fighter in the UFC. For those that don't know, you are not allowed to knee the other fighter in the head while he is down. You are allowed to strike to the body with the knee, but not the head. I think they should allow this, because it will stop alot of stalling while on the ground. It will give advantage to fighters who have minimal wrestling skills, against a good wrestling stalling. Pride allows knee strikes, but no elbows. They should allow both. I don't agree with the soccer kick and head stomps, even though it does make it more fun to watch, and more violent. hehe But knees should be allowed. Knee strikes are made for a knockout and blunt force trama. While elbows, although effect at times, are mostly to gash open a cut for a stoppage, or at least make the fighter think he is bleeding to death. An either make the fighter try harder to end the fight sooner, or make him want to give up faster. Alot of people like to watch a techical fight. But the adverage fan likes to see blood and carnage. And basically 2 guys just beat the fuck out of each other. It is why they still talk about the Bonner/Griffin fight till this day. Just 2 TUF finalist, that basically stood there and beat the shit out of each other. They didn't go to the ground hardly at all. But just stood in front and swung for the fences, to quote Joe Rogan. I don't think they will ever allow soccer kicks and head stomps in the UFC, but at least allow knee strikes!

I love this movie. At the end, it's like a king losing his kingdom. The people he thought he ruled and controlled. A really awesome movie. If you get a chance you should check it out
