Is it true that knee strikes will not be allowed it this bout? If that's true, then it's bull**** because that gives Fedor an unfair advantage while putting Choi at a disadvantage. Knee strikes are Choi's forte and if he's not allowed to use it, ****in bull****!! Is this some mma politics to give the white man the advantage? Why not just have Choi fight with his hands tied behind his back while they are at it?
With that way Pride fighters are looking these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Choi knocked Fedor out with a flying knee in 7 seconds at this point. This sport is crazy.
Well thats a rule that Japan has when an opponent has a considerable weight advantage over another, I doubt Fedor asked that rule to be implemented.
That rule was the same in PRIDE.Once the fighter had weight advantage of so many lbs no knee strikes were allowed to prevent the fights ending on cuts.Makes sense to me but unfortunately took away Choi`s key advantage.Oh well made no diffrence..
