ONE FC says goodbye to confusing rules for soccer kicks on downed opponents
Following the controversial ending of Andrei Arlovski vs. Tim Sylvia this past Friday, ONE FC has implemented a rule change. The bout ended in a “No Contest” due to the promotion’s rules on the use of soccer kicks: ONE FC has decided to eliminate the rule all together.
ONE FC’s rule set combines the North American unified rules of MMA with the soccer kicks and stomps of Pride, however fighters must wait for a referee’s open attack signal before using the more violent maneuvers on a downed opponent.
