Officials have long dubbed that “playing the game.” It’s no longer viable. Now, fighters must have both hands on the ground — either their palms or fists — to be considered grounded. As always, if a fighter’s knee or any other part of the body except the hands and feet are touching the mat, then that fighter is also grounded. MMA’s Greatest Podcast Extended fingers Eye pokes have been a topic of controversy lately. They are fight-ending, career-damaging illegal maneuvers. Under the original rules, referees could do nothing about it until it was too late and the poke was already landed. The new rules empower referees by making it a foul to extend your fingers outward toward an opponent’s face, which could lead to an eye poke. Previously, a referee could tell a fighter to close his or her hand, but the ref had no recourse — a point could not be taken. Now, it can be if a fighter continues to extend fingers in the direction of an opponent’s face. Female apparel The days of T-shirts, half-shirts and loose-fitting tank tops (sorry, Reebok) are over in women’s MMA. Women must wear either a sports bra or a form-fitting rash guard in the cage. For bottoms, the rules are the same as for men: nothing below the knee, which means no more grappling or yoga pants. Why is this a big deal? Well, loose-fitting shirts are actually dangerous. Fingers and toes can get caught in them. They can slip over a fighter’s head if too loose. UFC fighter Valerie Letourneau recently had an issue when her opponent Joanna Calderwood’s foot pulled down her tanktop with a front kick and she nearly had a wardrobe malfunction. Letourneau covered up and was struck in the head by Calderwood when she wasn’t defending herself. That kind of thing can’t happen in MMA. Grappling pants, which have been used by Marloes Coenen and others, are an inherent advantage. Men have never been able to wear them under the Unified Rules. This is the first time women’s apparel has been standardized in the official rules. Many have asked, Why are a bunch of men deciding what women can wear? That’s a good point. But MMA rules and regulations committee chairman Sean Wheelock consulted with Invicta FC matchmaker and women’s MMA pioneer Julie Kedzie .before writing these regulations. MMA’s Greatest Podcast Heel kicks to the kidneys The last time any of us saw this technique was Royce Gracie vs. Ken Shamrock. It’s not prevalent and the fact there was a rule against it was kind of odd. All other blows to the kidneys are 100 percent legal, but heel kicks (used by fighters holding opponents in guard) were banned. Not any longer. Heel kicks to the kidneys aren’t much more than an annoyance or cause to change positions, as demonstrated Tuesday by MMA legends and Randy Couture and Jeremy Horn. “The kidney strike with the heel is not an effective strike,” Couture told MMA Fighting. “It doesn’t make sense for it to be illegal. We do get hit in the kidneys. I can get in on a shot, if you’re trying to take an opponent down, and he’s perfectly free to hit me in the back all that he wants. It’s not illegal now.” Grabbing the clavicle Very few people knew this was even illegal before. The foul has now been removed. It was unanimous this week at the ABC Conference that no one had ever seen this attack attempted in an MMA fight. MMA’s Greatest Podcast

Octogon n°214 - UFC 208 "Holm vs De Randamie" New-York accueillait cette nuit l'UFC 208 dans son célèbre "Barclays Center" de Brooklyn quelques mois après l'UFC 205 au Madison Square Garden. Le main event était le combat pour l'inauguration du tout nouveau titre féminin en featherweight. L'ancienne championne des 135 lbs (et tombeuse de Ronda Rousey) Holly Holm affrontait la combattante de Muay Thai Germaine De Randamie. Duel de strikeuses pour guider un PPV qui interroge tant sur le fond (pourquoi créer une telle division?) que sur la forme (pourquoi avoir mis ce combat en tête d'affiche?). Anderson Silva rencontrait Derek Brunson en co-main event. Quel "Spider" allions-nous voir dans l'octogone? Celui expéditif qui a enchanté tous les fans de MMA ou sa pâle copie oscillant entre le clownesque et le pathétique? Des gros noms tels que Jacare Souza (qui attend désespérément un title shot en middleweight) et Glover Teixeira étaient aussi de la main card respectivement contre Tim Boetsch et Jared Cannonier. Sinon Jim Miller et Dustin Poirier ouvraient cet UFC 208. On avait été habitué à mieux sur le papier. Qu'en a-t-il été dans l'octogone? Réponse dans ce podcast.  Bonne écoute.

Octogon n°213 - Vers l’UFC 208… L'UFC 208 se tiendra la semaine prochaine à Brooklyn et aura pour main event le combat en featherweight féminines entre l'ancienne championne des 135 pounds Holly Holm et Germaine de Randamie. Duel de pures strikeuses pour inaugurer une nouvelle ceinture. C'est la troisième division féminine à l'UFC et nous sommes toujours aussi sceptiques (pour ne pas dire plus) sur cette création. Quelle légitimité pour quel avenir? Une catégorie de poids se construit et pour cela il faut du talent, du nombre et une histoire. En tout cas, c'est le combat principal d'un PPV et là encore le choix est critiquable. La dernière fois que l'UFC était venu dans l'état de New-York, c'était pour l'UFC 205 "Alvarez/McGregor" et la fightcard était sans aucune mesure avec ce qu'on nous proposera le week-end prochain. Cette carte a un goût artificiel et le matchmaking interroge: Anderson Silva vs Derek Brunson, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs Tim Boetsch, Glover Teixeira vs Jared Cannonier et Jim Miller vs Dustin Poirier. Sinon, les news et un rapide résumé de l'UFC Fight Night de Houston vous est proposé. Le "Korean Zombie" faisait son grand retour après deux ans d'absence (il a effectué son service militaire en Corée du Sud) et affrontait en main event Dennis Bermudez.   Bonne écoute.

Probably not,” White said on UFC Tonight, “But he wanted to try it. I like the guy. I respect the guy. He wanted to fight in the UFC. He wanted to do it. He trained for two years, and he did it.” If Punkʼs UFC career is over, itʼs likely that the Chicago-born talent will soon be picked up by another MMA promotion – possibly Bellator. Coach Roufus, who also trains former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, claimed that plenty of other promotions are interested in signing Punk and is optimistic of his future Jose Aldo and Dana White to meet this week – Aldo quote UFC president Dana White recently promised to get Aldo the right fight, and listed Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis as potential opponents. Aldo, though, makes it clear that he has no interest in fighting ‘Blessedʼ. “What means is money in the pocket, and thatʼs what Iʼm thinking about,” Aldo said. “Thatʼs why I said ‘f*ck Holloway,ʼ who won eight in a row. Some people win 10, 15, and donʼt fight for the belt. So, who is he to say anything? So I wanted Pettis because that would be a way bigger fight. Everybody wanted to watch this fight when we were supposed to fight in Brazil. You have to think about money first, itʼs business these days. First the pocket, then something else.” / Fighters handling squabbles with UFC with media Jose Aldo

[spp-optin] In this inaugural episode of MMA Fancast, the crew discusses a variety of topics, including Conor McGregor. The MMA world has been buzzing with the announcement of the UFC 205 fight card. This is truly a fight card of historic proportions. Jim Miller will be scrapping with Thiago Alves, Tim Boetsch will have a middleweight battle with Rafael Natal, Tim Kennedy will go toe to toe with Rashad Evans, Khabib Nurmagomedov takes his undefeated 23-0 record to Michael Johnson and Frankie Edgar will square off against Jeremy Stevens. This should be quite a card! Did we mention that we have not even started talking about the 6 fight main card yet???  Miesha Tate returns from her short title reign, ready to fight and claw her way back to the title picture again. But first, she’ll have to get by Raquel Pennington, who is riding a nice 3 fight win streak. Another fighter, Chris Weidman, will also be back in action for the first time since losing his title (and also suffering his first MMA defeat) against fellow one loss warrior Yoel Romero, who is looking to increase his undefeated UFC record to 8-0. There will also be a cowboy on the loose in Manhattan on November 12th as Donald Cerrone attempts to bring the pain to Kelvin Gastelum, who is riding high from his UFC 200 win over Johny Hendricks. So we now know that this is going to be an amazing night of fights! But there is something that we still have not revealed to you. There are also not one, not two, but THREE, yes THREE titles on the line! Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her belt and undefeated record on the line against the Polish Princess, Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Both fighters come in with perfect records and it will be the perfect night for one of them to be crowned the champion! In the night’s co-main event, newly crowned champion Tyron Woodley will bring his bad self up against the likes of Wonderboy, Stephen Thompson. Wonderboy is riding a 7 fight win streak and hasn’t lost since a decision loss to Matt Brown in 2012 while Tyron is fresh off his title winning, 1st round knockout of Robbie Lawler. Then finally, in the main event of the evening, The Notorious Conor McGregor brings his brash self to try making history against The Silent Assassin, Eddie Alvarez. Alvarez is coming off of his TKO, lightweight title winning domination of Rafael dos Anjos while the Notorious One is looking to continue his momentum after avenging his only UFC loss to Nate Diaz. Rydog, Sahara and Mr. Dactyl discuss the UFC 205 press conference and the brilliance of Conor McGregor. Also on their minds was Jose Aldo’s demands and wondering if fighters are not seeing the bigger picture when getting the exposure created by guys like CM Punk. The crossover appeal that exists in WWE and other sports is very real and fellows share some personal experiences for UFC 203. Hosted by Ryan Middleton, Jim “Sahara” Mooney and Dan “The Terry Dactyl” Altieri.

Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum at UFC 188 on Saturday in Mexico City.

You thought they might not catch the UFC announcing the very sort of drug testing program the CME has been asking for for years? You thought Cain Velasquez's heavyweight title unification bout against Fabricio Werdum this weekend at UFC 188 might fly under their radar? Fat chance.

Picture it, CME Universe. There you are, walking along, minding your own business, just doing your thing, landing your low kicks, everything going your way, when--boom--all of the sudden Carlos Condit jumps out of nowhere and elbows you … right … in … the ... face. That would suck, wouldn't it? Yeah, that would suck. Also, in this situation, you are Thiago Alves (Pronounced: AL-vez, it turns out). This week, the Co-Main Event Podcast follows the re-routed road map that was Alves' face after his bout with Condit last Saturday at UFC Fight Night 67, and takes a few moments to mourn the testicles of Ryan Jimmo, which had arguably an even shittier night than Alves' nose.
