I've watched it for years. You used to be able to head butt, knee and elbow in the face but I don't think it's allowed now. As a former college wrestler I became attracted to it because it carried my martial art to the next level. You have to be a good at wrestling, boxing and jujitsu in order to contend...whoever said it's "bum fighting" is FOS, these are the biggest bad asses in the world and would kill any Mike Tyson in his prime in a nanosecond.

You can't elbow or use forearms in PRIDE...you can in UFC but not the point of the elbow...no hitting in back of the head in Pride but you can kick and knee while they are down...in UFC you can't...i wish they would make the rules more uniform..it's hard to sort them out when you are watching different events....but i'm a junkie so i manage. ;)
