more proof that it's apparently legal....Look what happens at the end of the fight... [yt]sAIgNhVT3Zs[/yt] Big cat strangles Matt skelton it's even listed on sherdog as "Submission (Front Strangle Choke)" it's legal but almost nobody has the reflex to pull this move during a fight...
Matt Skelton fought in MMA? I knew he was in K1 for kickboxing but.. well, you learn something new every day. Hmmm...i suppose that puts that to rest unless the rules for Pride for that particular move were different, as they allowed soccer kicks and stomps etc.
ok but ufc's rules are part of the "unified rules" no ?...and if so , how come wanderlei wasn't penalized ?
Skelton fought in mma yeah...but only once. Same goes for Botha he once fought in mma vs akiyama. This content is protected http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=11896 he ended up getting subbed in the first...
'Big cat' **** choked Skelton under Pride rules while Wanderlei did that choke thing under unified rules where its illegal, however there is still some debate as to if Wanderlei was actually choking him.
