Is there any chance ground kicks be legal in UFC again? I thought Americans wanted to see hardcore banging action

Republicans & conservatives in the 90s threw a hissy fit about MMA as one of their moral panics they have every few years. So the UFC had to introduce a bunch of rules to make it less a bloody mess and more acceptable to middle America. Which means no. If anything it will resembles WWE more and more than say King of the Streets or old school Japanese MMA.

>ground kicks
also satanic elbows
it's funny though because as much as they are stickler for rules, you'll hear "let go of the cage/shorts" maybe I don't know 80 times in one 3 round fight

not good for athlete retention if high velocity hammer and anvil is allowed.

Very old Spumco Flash cartoon from like 1997 or so talking about this.
