With the recent influx of MMA fans I figured it was time I shed some light on what the athletes cannot do!

See the list below for what are considered MMA NO-NO's


The Nevada State Athletic Commission currently lists the following as fouls:

  1. Butting with the head.
  2. Eye gouging of any kind.
  3. Biting.
  4. Hair pulling.
  5. Fish hooking.
  6. Groin attacks of any kind.
  7. Putting a finger into any orifice or into any cut or laceration on an opponent. (This one could HURT!)
  8. Small joint manipulation.
  9. Striking to the spine or the back of the head. (What is considered back of the head?)
  10. Striking downward using the point of the elbow. (I beg to differ I like sharp elbows)
  11. Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea.
  12. Clawing, pinching or twisting the flesh.
  13. Grabbing the clavicle. (a bone of the pectoral arch)
  14. Kicking the head of a grounded opponent. (come on I like soccer kicks to the head)
  15. Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent. (Kneeing standing is allowed why not on the ground?)
  16. Stomping a grounded opponent.
  17. Kicking to the kidney with the heel.
  18. Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his head or neck. (Sounds Cool)
  19. Throwing an opponent out of the ring or fenced area. (The cage is pretty high)
  20. Holding the shorts or gloves of an opponent. (Sorry BJJ folks)
  21. Spitting at an opponent. (they do it in the WWE!)
  22. Engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct that causes an injury to an opponent.
  23. Holding the ropes or the fence. (Tito did it why can't everybody else?)
  24. Using abusive language in the ring or fenced area. (once again TIto does it)
  25. Attacking an opponent on or during the break. (Yawn! This would make for more drama)
  26. Attacking an opponent who is under the care of the referee.
  27. Attacking an opponent after the bell (horn) has sounded the end of a round. (Matt Hamil has a defense)
  28. Flagrantly disregarding the instructions of the referee.
  29. Timidity, including, without limitation, avoiding contact with an opponent, intentionally or consistently dropping the mouthpiece or faking an injury. (Kalib Starns anyone? I don't believe I have a photo with this guy!)
  30. Interference by the corner.
  31. Throwing in the towel during competition.
