http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/story/189564.html "It should be called the illegal kick. It should be banned and it shows a lot about the fighter's character that he would throw it. How would he like it if somebody threw it at him and stopped him working for a year? I thought it was an illegal move. I think spinning elbows should be illegal too because they land on the back of the head. But I appreciate a good fight, a good scrap, I just wonder which rule fighters will bend next."

I agree it should be banned below the knee. I can't believe it poses huge risk for career altering injury despite what some may claim. Above the knee on the thigh should be legal though.

Fighting should be banned as well, just in case.

I don't think it's a dirty move since it's not illegal. But I think it should be illegal. |

Punches to the head should be banned because they can knock you out. |

In all seriousness, it's a cunty kick. Trying to push your opponents knee cap into the back of their leg is just a dick move. What was the one movie with the aliens who walked with their legs in reverse? That shit.

superCalo - Slamming guys on their head should be banned too cause that can really really hurt. Hahaha |

Hmm...its a fair point and a good discussion topic but Rampage sure does seem to whine a lot these days. A dam far cry from the "Im 23 so in 2 years I see myself as being 25" Pride Rampage. Anyhow, imo, again, a good debate but until its legal, its legal. And as mentioned, slams and strikes to the head and body can also injure. |

Headbutting opponents when you slam them shouldn't get you wins either, but here we are..

Every time he mentions being a real fighter from now on I'm just going to think "fuck off" Stop whinging about not being able to stop someone beating you.

Yeah, to me it's an ugly kick that looks horrible to recieve but above all I'm very tired of hearing Rampage whine about stuff. |

Ban oblique kicks to the knees. Ban foot stomps. Allow up-kicks. Allow knees to head of grounded opponent. |

I used to compete in MMA, but then I took an oblique kick to the knee.

I'm kind of conflicted about this, one the one hand yeah it's kind of shitty move, on the other hand, I can't really think of a good reason to ban it. Has anyone ever actually gotten hurt from that? Een the guy in the gif I doubt was injured from that, he doesn't seem to have the majority of his body weight on the left leg and it didn't bend backwards too badly. |

Rampage style slams don't land to the back of the head right? Totally different than a spinning elbow. Lol.
