>>14850920They are fucked over by a myriad of rules to increase safety yet still try to pretend this is a real fight when you can't do certain punches, kicks or knee strikes, and there is a cage but you can't grab it, unless you are a big name then you can bend the rules and possibly shift the fight for a second, plus they have a shortage of HW fighters and more drug testing so they can't safely juice and you have way less guys with knockout power so you see a shitload of punches land which would normally end a real fight but the guy doesn't have enough power or stamina plus they haven't recovered from their last fight or fight camp due to not enough juice.
From a true fight perspective most MMA is fundamentally flawed in that there are many submissions which could be escaped by gouging eyes or low blows, which kind of can't b helped, then hair pulling is also a factor, but then you add not being able to kick the head most of the time, throw an upwards knee, etc. And everything slowly leads towards grappling and hugging for points.
