Zuffa bought out PRIDE, now there are a brand new set of unified rules for PRIDE34 and they are reported as follows (from the mmaweekly then the ninjashoes site):
- Foot stomps, soccer kicks, and knees to the head of a downed opponent will no longer be allowed.
- Round times will change to 3 x 5-minute rounds and 5 x 5-minute rounds for championship fights (no more 10-minute first rounds).
- The use of colored penalty cards will be discontinued.
- Elbows will be allowed.
- Shoes, gis, and pants will not be allowed (sorry Takaaki Aoki).
Wow, PRIDE no longer will have soccer kicks or foot stomps! WEAK! Wanderlei Silva, what you gonna do now? Cro Cop also favored this kick. Good job he’s in the UFC now :)
Now witness the destruction of Ron Waterman by Cro Cop via Soccer kick:
