YOGYAKARTA - MMA is often referred to as the form of the purest fight. It combines various types of martial arts into one. Therefore, people are often empowered that there are no regulations in the ring and everything is okay. Well, that's not entirely true. In fact, UFC key techniques are prohibited!

Back in the 1990s, the UFC slogan was, "There are no rules." But in fact, there are some; bite and dig out the eyes are illegal, but things like head-rowing, pulling hair, and hitting your guy is okay. Today, the rules have changed, and there is a list of appropriate illegal steps.

Although UFC fights sometimes look brutal and cruel (because of punches, kicks, elbows, knees, downward throws, surrenders, removals, wrestling, etc.), It's still a sport. As a sport, the first thing you always pay attention to is the safety of the fighters. So, not everything is allowed in the cage. There are still some rules about what's illegal.

Some movements that can be done (intentionally or unintentionally) can cause severe damage to the opponent, so it is prohibited. Here, we provide a complete list of illegal movements inside the cage.

Piledriving

Piledriving is a technique used in professional wrestling where fighters hold opponents, reverse them, and point their heads on the mat.

While often used in WWE, we talk about the Real Battle, it's banned in MMA because it can cause huge damage to the spine.

This technique may be best known to wrestling fans as a typical Undertaker finishing technique. Given that, Owen Hart's neck was broken exactly the same technique. Pimedriving is also the main reason why Stone Cold left WWE.

So, before trying out this technique at the UFC, just consider how it affects your opponents; keep in mind that the UFC is as legitimate as any MMA competition.

Fish collectors

The technique of "fish coils" involves inserting fingers from one or both hands into the mouth, nose, or other holes of the opponent and pushing away; this is usually done with the aim of pulling, tearing, or tearing the tissue.

One of the worst things a person can do to their opponent is to earn fish. You will definitely be disqualified for this unsportsmanlike behavior.

Linking fish is highly banned in the UFC and may be the most unlawful act a fighter can take during a fight. Despite the fact that this technique was taught as self-defense in some martial arts, it was strictly banned in the UFC and other combat sports.

Headbutt

Headbutt is a right blow to the head that usually involves using a sturdy skull. The strongest bone in the forehead or back of the skull is used in the strongest headbutt to hit the most sensitive area of the opponent, including the eyes and nose.

Although head butts are allowed at Lethwei, one of the deadliest MMAs, is not allowed in UFC matches.

This is one of UFC's most controversial illegal maneuvers. Headbutt is usually fully accepted at the UFC. They are not now. Why? Nulling opponents can result in serious brain trauma and life-long irreparable damage. If allowed, we will probably observe some severe injuries in the cage because it is relatively easy to do.

Headbutt can cause some severe injuries and bleeding on sensitive facial parts, such as nose or eyes.

Do you remember the UFC 259 moment when Cruz Dominick accidentally headed up Cejudo? Cejudo suffered severe injuries near his eyebrows and began bleeding a lot.

12-6 Siku

Siku 12-6 is an attack used in mixed martial arts combat. Officially known as the "back elbow attack". The elbow attack moves straight up (12am) straight down (6am).

There is no doubt that they need to be banned because they can seriously endanger the opponent's brain. It is possible to be disqualified for using 12-6 elbows.

Jon Jones should be mentioned when discussing his 12--6 elbows. Jones faced Mark Hamil in his fourth UFC fight. Jones hit Mark Hamil with several 12-6 elbows while dominating the fight as a whole and defeating him, leading to Jones being disqualified.

An intentional blow to the opponent's groin area is called a groin attack. Due to the sensitivity of theā–besark area and the genitals, this technique, which is sometimes used as a self-defense tactic, can quickly weaken.

The blow to the groin often occurs accidentally, just like headbutt does. Although a fighter is required to use a cup, an accidental shot to the groin can be quite painful. A fighter gets five minutes to recover after receiving a punch or kick to the groin. If he cannot recover within the specified time, the match can be declared in no contest or disqualifiable.

At UFC 55 in 2005, Alessio Sakara accidentally received the most brutal groin attack by his opponent Ron Faircleth. The fight was declared "no contest" because Sakara was very sick and could not continue.
