10 Precise Moments That Forever Changed MMA Rules 

Imagine spending the whole fight attacking someone's balls and then trying to pretend you have respect

"that looks gay, its banned"

Cant help but laugh at Dana getting so upset over a pair of speedos that he banned them

I always love that throwing over the fence had to be made into a rule. Every promo around UFC was two combatants locked into the cage and not a single thought went by someone is crazy enough to throw a person out.

Basically 10 way John McCarthy saved fighter's lives.

seems like john mccarthy is the only one who doesn't want fighters to literally die!

Didn't knew Big John had that much impact on the rules we have today, respect for what he did, brave man of reason from the very beginning.

You can avoid all pants issues by having everyone fight nude and oiled up.

Big John McCarthy looks like a super tough Adam Sandler

MMA Fans: "That's gross! I almost saw a grown man's butt cheek!!" Spartans wrestling in the nude: "It's time to oil up!"

The fence grabbing rule was also put in place following a Tank Abbot fight where he was totally gassed out, and on the verge of being knocked out. So he ended up holding his opponent pressed against the cage by grabbing the fence with both his hands and just holding on to dear life. Some of these rules definitely helped the sport have more entertaining fights. The lay & pray was probably one of my favorite rules to first show up. I really did not enjoy the Gracie & Shamrock fight where as the narrator rightfully explains, he would just hold on and use his grappling to 'hold on'. Didn't make for entertaining fights to see someone hold on to another fighter like that for 10 minutes. If you are a fan of the sport you should definitely try to watch the first 30 or so UFCs. It's really interesting to watch them even after all this time. I had all the Pride FC & the 80 first UFCs on DVD. No clue where all those DVDs went lol. I hate myself.

The perfect weight cutting strategy: Just take a quarter of my blood out, then put it back after the weigh in.

9:37 dude went to give him a hug at the end of the match and dude protected his balls 😂🤣😂🤣

I can randomly hear joe Rogan within your voice haha

Big John McCarthy is such an underrated pioneer of the sport. He played such integral part of changing the image of what people thought cage fighting was with all these rule changes to make fights fair and keep fighters safe.

From someone who grew up watching all of these events and now do work for mma promotions I think you did a stellar job with the documentation great video man! Nostalgia mode engaged

If Tank hadn’t attempted to throw him out of the cage, we would have eventually seen someone thrown over the ring in modern UFC, damn

moral of the story: Brazilians wanted death matches

Lol the "it's gay" cracks me up. Every girl I know who watches mma and isn't a fighter, they watch it to watch fit men be sweaty and aggressive with each other in sometimes compromising positions 😂

All of you guys at MMA ON POINT do great commentary, LOL every time I listen I'm cracking up! Keep it going guys, you have a winning team!

Breast implants can be punctured, so it makes sense.

Pretty sure ice cube made the rule for no Vaseline

MMA on Point... I just want to congratulate you guys! Happy to see business soar for you all! ✌❤

Thank u guys for this content you have no idea what it means to us

We were so close to getting top 10 houses 😢

Tank be throwing fools out of the cage like it's the Royal Rumble

Thanks for the information of this video. I knew Big John helped create many of the MMA rules. It’s nice to see the exact rules he helped create and why. Bravo great job! You have a new subscriber.😃👍

Tom Hardy was a surprisingly present contributor in this video 🤣🤣🤣 love the video!

Dana White: Speedos are disgusting Also Dana White: we'll use a trash talking unprofessional rivalry to market a fight

"All safety regulations are written in blood" - my boss on day 1 of my last job

Awesome writing, editing and narration! Tks for the video =)

Wow, well done! Hands down the best “information” MMA videos I’ve ever seen.

I wanted to see those mansions :(

3:09 “A bets a bet You got to stand up... for what you bet” 🤣

The weight cut would be an easy solution. Weigh them twice, once the day before like they do right now, once right before the fight. A dehydrated fighter can't fight effectively, forcing them into the correct weight class to perform optimally.

Very well presented thanks dude!

Video should be retitled as “How John McCarthy wrote the UFC rulebook”

Dana White: that’s disgusting! Meanwhile, pro bodybuilders lube each other up and pose in smaller speedos with old men judging them. 😂

When the clip came up of Mr.Bean falling asleep that's exactly how I felt. It's late, I'm tired, I'm comfy, your voice is so soothing and this video is kinda just putting me to sleep lmao. Happens too often tho and I hate it cause I eanna finish but I also want to sleep

I think there needs to be a weigh in just before the fight. The game seems to be aiming alot towards cutting as much as possible since some fighters can be 20 pounds heavier after the weigh in so fighters can essentially compete a couple weight classes lower then they actually are, which goes a long way towards defeating the purpose of such small weight classes

You gave me a raging stiffy with that Raging Al bit. THEN YOU MURDERED IT!!!

In honor of Yair and Jeremy Stephens making peace and showing hespect, Y’all should do a video on... 10 Times Bitter Rivals Buried the Hatchet

That intro had me rechecking what video I clicked on lmao

Great video man

Big John “I-Value-Human-Life” Mcarthy

"Top 10 Houses Sold By Al Iaquinta" 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for bringing One’s water testing to light. Many people have no clue what it is and no one knows that the weight classes are different in One. One nearly quit as a company following the death their fighter. UFC and other orgs need to figure it out. Eddie is shorter than his competition but he’s very muscular. 190 walk around weight and 170 fight weight makes more sense than UFC fighters walking around at 190 and fighting at 155. Eddie is smaller than his competition but look at Conor fighting at 145 against Aldo. I’d love to see the actual fight weight of the UFC’s best.

Agree 100% on the last point about weight cutting. Same thing in boxing, amateur wrestling, even rowing.

Big John Mccarthy is quite a pioneer in refereeing and alot of fighters have to be thankful

I'm still waiting for magic Mike ringboys at women's fights

I wish that more people I knew had seen Ready to Rumble, such a good movie and seeing that small clip made me wanna break out the vcr just to see it again. Thank you for that, and this video 😊

Wow. Very informative! I'm an MMA fan who didn't know any of this stuff!

They never mentioned that Dennis Hallman's balls popped out of his speedo while he was on the ground in that fight.

John McCarthy: The man behind MMA's success

Gary goodridge’s one man assault on pedros junk is the funniest

Gosh that kill bill clip gets me every time just automatically ready to fight somebody lol

They should do another weigh-in immediately before the fight. Wanna weight cut? Fine, but that's exactly how you're fightin'.

Ladies and gentlemen we almost have them

Thanks for the cameo man

I love how this is the most popular video on the channel and it begins with a massive inside joke 🤣🤣🤣

Didn't realize how big an impact John McCarthy had on MMA. Much respect 💪

0:50 almost got me.

Good video…You’re take is spot on. Let the haters hate.

At this moment of posting, I'm the 4200th comment. And the 939,000ish subscriber. I really hope you get to 1 mil. This is quality content.

Rest In Peace, Yang Jian Bing. I honestly had never heard of the fighter until now but to think about how he let that happen to himself is crazy. He must've really wanted to be a great fighter to let something like that kill him. You know he had to feel it before it happened. What a shame. He obviously died doing what he loved.

The commission: Jon Jones can take steroids Some woman gets a boob job The commission: WTF

You could do a top ten banned moves and just show things from Kajukenbo. Eye strikes, throat strikes, back of the head strikes, groin strikes, back of the knee kicks, knees and kicks to a downed opponent, 12-6 elbows, grabbing the other person's hand, twisting the other person's fingers, Kimura throws. All things that are actively taught in Kajukenbo. In my first month (I did Kajukenbo for about 7 years), I was taught proper form to avoid hurting your hand hitting the other person on the chin or collarbone for a proper throat strike, proper hand position for an effective eye strike, and how to control and twist the other person's hand and wrist in order to dislocate/tear their shoulder.

It also banned multiple elbow strikes in the same location for a short period of time from what I remember. The footage is online somewhere good luck it’s been Atleast 4-5 years since I’ve seen it. In fact I’m pretty sure it was a RU-vid video that was talking about key banned moves in mma

One Championship getting that shout out. The weight cutting change is one of the best decisions ever made in an MMA organisation.

This video should be called “Turns out all martial sports in history have rules for a reason and trying to reinvent the wheel was a dangerous idea from the beginning.”

I unintentionally learned through watching this video that UFC is a lot older then I thought.

Would love to see a video on fighters who headlined on their first ufc fight

Watches almost completely naked men wrestle all the time: 'coooool'. Sees one buttcheek: 'what the hell, man, what is this??? Yuggg!' :))))

4:55 damn bro big john is a legend to convince those dudes that only 12-6 is to worry even though he didnt want any to be banned he had to pretend like no the 12-6 is super dangerous so they think the other ones arent. A real 5Head genuis strat by the legend

9:12 Oh dear god baby Jesus no, I can’t watch this without wanting to give that man a hug a huge bucket of ice

I believe Tank is responsible for the "no fish hooking" rule too. He did it against Oleg Taktarov or Dan Severn. I don't recall which one.

Great video. Legit commentary, good editing, very informative, and prime choice of clips. Good video all around, literally commenting just to improve stats 😄

Watching 2021. Great content. Covid is still raging around the world.

Thanks!

The top ten houses sold by.. ahhhh almost got me

I love that guy breaking the ice. lol. his hand does not go all the way down, but everything breaks.

Hope you make it to Million subs bro

The weight cut issue is something that should be fixed. There must be ways to ensure fighters fight at their walk around weight. Don’t have weigh ins. Weigh fighters in the lead up as they are training. There.. I fixed it for you

YOU SON OF A! That Raging Al bait, that just ain't cool.

You’re supposed to disclose paid advertisements. How much of that sweet sweet Vaseline money did you guys get to make this video???

Foot in the tight ass shorts is crazy 😂😂😂😂

Good vid cheers

I would love to see the UFC and all other promotions implement One's anti-weight cutting rules. It is a harsh and dangerous practice and there is no advantage to it. Everyone is cutting weight just so they won't be the one guy at a disadvantage. Not having fighters dehydrate to cut weight also gives them more stamina since they are often still recovering after rehydrating right up to the start of the fight. This leads to more exciting fights for the viewers and less fighters completely gassing-out by the end of round 1.

MMA On Point just blue-balled us with that AL bit...

i cant believe they were allowed to hit each others balls at the start, like WTF lol

Top tier opening minute bud

Hey man just wanted to thank you for the work you do. Very educational and entertaining. Keep it up.

all these homoerotic fears - "I'm not gay, I swear"

Lol I was genuinely hoping for the top 10 Al Iaquinta house sales damnit!

I actually want to see that "Top 10 Houses Sold By Al Iaquinta" now... I never wanted to before, but now I really, REALLY do and there is no rational reason for me to want this lol. You guys are diabolical monsters!

"MMA IS THE LEAST GAY SPORT EVER" My friend, 20 minutes before showing him the UFC Welterweight Brazil fiasco.

Best part of that Shamrock/Gracie fight, was the crowd chanting "B*llsh*t!" 😂

Great video man. Like your humor too 😏

Man 1 and 2 were brutal, like proper bloodsport tournaments with multiple fights in a night. Maybe first many were like that, Idk, I just remember the first for sure on vhs. Imagine those rules stayed. damn..

Such a good channel. Good job, Kid. You're doing a killer job. Thanks for the entertaining content.
