American rules in British MMA?

[Dan Bowden]

I watched the Brad Pickett fight the other day and although Brad did very well and got a brilliant win at one point in the fight the commentator said 'Brad wasn't expecting any up kicks'. I don't know if up kicks r legal in British pro MMA but from what i gather from this forum different orgs (dunno if that's right?) have different rules. Maybe we should have American rules 2 prepare fighters that r capable of breaking into the American Companies like Brad and also Bisping and Hardy who have done it before so as they have an equal opportunity if u like and aren't needed to learn new rules in the bulid up 2 fights and can focus totally on conditioning and technique. Sorry if this sounds stupid 2 u all but thought id put it up 4 discussion i've never fought so i dont have the experience some of u guys have but would like 2 hear ur input maybe ill learn something. Thanks 4 reading anyway now let me have it and please be nice cos ive read some posts and 2 be honest u can be a bunch of cunts!! Merry Xmas

lol what's wrong with that i've only watched American MMA so im only familiar with those rules therefore American rules apart from the old cage rage archives on extreme sports which r shit 2 be honest im clueless 2 Brit MMA which is embarrassing I know but im not the only 1 either which is embarrassing 2 British MMA i think.

Just read that last comment back and let me say now 'Oh fuck that's coming back 2 bite me!!' I know British MMA has come a long way since Cage Rage but i also understand Cage Rage was the father of Brit MMA so no disrespect meant. I apologise!What i meant was im unfamiliar with the rules cos so many different companies have such different rules now. Sorry

lol @ cage rage being the father of UK mma. Guess where they got their cage from!

Most UK orgs use the Unified rules as per the UFC for full pro fights. A few orgs don't allow elbows and Cage Rage did dabble with the stupid open guard rule for a while but I am not aware of any orgs that do not allow the up kick.
