Interesting that Pele chose not to wear bandages - particularly on the hands (it was obviously legal as Chuck was). In Boxing the gloves are'nt to protect the opponents head they are there to protect the hands - if you watch at 7:25 Chuck wpuld have broken his knuckles hitting him on the back/side of the head.that many times
@thesashworth > In Boxing the gloves are'nt to protect the opponents head they are there to protect the hands
The same is true about the introduction of gloves in MMA! The introduction of gloves actually promoted more striking (and not some kind of "safety" for the fighters!)/
@CtrlAltDltYou It should be the same rules they had in Pride, no elbows ( too many cuts ) , stomps and soccer kicks allowed, the UFC rules favor the wrestlers a lot.
@ussrwrestling no elbows to the back of the head to stop takedown,no kicking a person on the ground,no groin strikes,no eye strikes all favor grapplers,early ufc rules were pretty fair,modern rules favor grapplers.
@SuperTestfreak >early ufc rules were pretty fair,modern rules favor grapplers.
So, what's the point, if under early UFC rules - the UFC was completely grapplers-dominated and now, under "grapplers-friendly" rules there's more and more striking?!
Also, in fact many of new rules introductions were anti-groundfighting as well! - Introduction of rounds, stand-ups, clinch-breaks, etc.
@CtrlAltDltYou It would never get sanctioned though. And we would never get to see it because every state would eventually outlaw it. It would still be gnarly to see prizefighters fight bareknuckle
Chuck escaped the full mount here! Pele must have been disappointed to lose that position so quickly. Chuck was good at getting up fast. His hand speed and kicks look flat after seeing Roy Jones highlights. Not seeing must snap and explosiveness here. It's plodding and arm weary.
5.06 wow, i knew chuck could take a shot! but man.... he got straight up after being caught with a head kick. and, looked as though it was no problem. both fighters are warriors, but chuck was the man
caralho, eles nem usam luvas, é na mão grande mesmo!!

Yes, and that's why most of the UFC champions are using striking recently actually!!
