"No you can't do that!"

Darn, the guy in red has a high chin.

I'm guessing that it's you in the blue?

This looks more like old K-1 rules, I don't think I saw a single elbow. But it could just be me being blind.

I can see that the low blows were unintentional, but he really should work on his aim. That's just not cricket (even if it is accidental).

Amateur MT doesnt allow elbows

Elbows aren't even allowed for pros in some states

[Masteryoda57]

Oh, my bad.

I'm from the UK and over here they usually let you elbow, but you've got to wear elbow pads so you don't slice your opponent.

[SOULFIGHT]

That'd be AWESOME

[Masteryoda57]

Do they allow knees to the head, or is it just body?

If it's just body then it must be pretty frustrating. Especially when you see an opening for a perfect knee to the head (like in Kido vs Kraus) but aren't allowed to throw it.

Oh, I just realized that I didn't congratulate you on this great fight, how long have you been training/ fighting for?

[SOULFIGHT]

Thanks - I been fighting/training 4 years. Didn't start winning till that night. Won 3 in one day, lost the finals.

the knockdown was better though

[ananewman]

dumb dumb dumb

[juanmmaldonado]

Yo man, great job in there.  I agree the throw was awesome!

[TenkennoGunshin]

brawl from the start, nice :) too bad about little Imam being killed off, coming from Sanda, I LOVED the takedown, I don't care if it's not allowed, it's awesome =D, got alot of good right hands in there. too bad about the flash down, but it happens, good work going for the clinch after =). btw, wtf was up with the kick at the start of R3 =P?
