    He might have to in sf's. If headbutts AA one time, accidently even, point would taken in Germany. I am pretty sure he would know this, and stay on the outside.

    not just that if he throws a a body shot he'll get a warning and if he throws another he looses a point.

    Kessler's injuries were a result of Ward charging in and hitting him with his head. Keeping your head touching your opponent (as ward did to Green) is actually a tactic to keep from being headbutted.

    To headbutt someone you need space. To punch someone you need space. Infighting is all about negating your opponent's offense by body positioning, and landing what you can when you can land it.

    There is nothing illegal with pushing/pinning/turning your opponent with your head. HITTING them with your head is what's illegal. (Like what Ward did to Kessler.)
