@Deesade86 It as better in the 80s. I hate the IJF. If there's one thing that'll push more judoka into MMA it's the IJF rule changes - you can implement judo far better in MMA/Freestyle grappling comps/BJJ comps these days than in sport judo comps. its ridiculous.
@p1q0 Yes Edith dislocated her arm with an illegal combined throw/joint lock called wake gatame (0.53). The rules are dumb these days I agree. Watch some vids from the early 80s/70s - it's almost a completely different sport. Closer to BJJ/MMA (without strikes). IJF seem hell bent on turning it into the grappling equivalent of taekwondo.
Judo rules do seem really dumb. I assume Rousey was somehow losing the fight until the last throw even though she was dominate throughout and the other girl just kept turtling?
@Swimswimswim99 Some of the rules in judo are bullshit. You get next to no time to work a ground game in modern judo. Can't even go for leg takedowns anymore either.
@jwgeezer Shes down a few interviews where she says she used to cry everyday at practice when fighting the guys because she couldn't beat them. She might actually be about to cry in most of her matches.
@grahamhg Completely agree. Wonder what a newaza specialist like Kashiwazaki would do these days. All the rule changes have ruined it as a sport.

@sgs138 it's allowed, restrictions concerning chokes are that you can't crank the neck while at it and you can't grip the throat with your fingers.
