How Would Ufc Fights Be Different If There Were No Rules And Fight To The Death?

I don’t know much about UFC but its entertaining to watch. My question is, what moves aren’t allowed? And if banned moves were allowed and the fight was to death, how much different would the fights look? Would the same fighters/ styles be just as dominant? Would the fighters be more conservative or more aggressive?
I know its a bit of a morbid question but I’m just curious thats all.
They would suck, because everyone would just always go for the eyes and the balls.
In the UFC, a lot of moves aren’t allowed. You can’t knee or kick an opponent to the head when he is on the ground (like you can in Pride). You can’t strike the back of an opponent’s head (i.e. brain stem). You can’t grab or pull your opponent’s hair or clothing. And you can’t do any small joint locks (I guess cuz they don’t want a bunch of fighters with broken fingers and thumbs).
That’s why MMA competitions are a lot different than “self-defense” which would include small joint locks, which are of course, super effective. I don’t care how big some guy is. If you break his pinky, he’s gonna be crying like a little *****.
I think the fighters would be more afraid of being hit, but I still think the same fighting styles would be in there. Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, judo, boxing, wrestling would still be the most effective, cuz they’re the most effective in real life!
The UFC has rules, but most are never followed.
No anal holding, or touching, but Cane Vasequez is the master at to help control his opponents.
No eye poking, but CroCop has won fights because of it
No strikes to the back of the head, but all ref’s opinion as to where the back of the head starts is different (only in the UFC)
No groin strikes, or kicks, or touching or holding
No head butts,
No kicks to the head, (but in the UFC fighters do it when on their backs which is a violation)
No Vaseline on the body (but GSP is allowed )
No small joint manipulation,
No steroids,
No illegal drugs,
IF the UFC had no rules, and a fight to death, it would be bloody, and it be the same, some fighters more aggressive, some conservative.
And NO booing, And a lot of head kicking
Hopefully be similar to Blood Sport,
And would be the highest rating show ever to be viewed.
there would be considerably less fighters as well as less schools that would teach mma style fighting. banned moves are things like eye gouges. if allowed with no rules and to the death the competition would be more high class with less grappling, and a very small viewing audience, because it would not be allowed on t.v. nor in most states if any. as well pressure point masters would become rampant and weight classes would most likely be ignored do to lack of capable/ living competitors in each weight class. all and all it would be a much more interesting show for those who knew what was going on. not sure about those who don’t understand the techniques.
I think they just might have a little bit of trouble getting sanctioned by state athletic commissions if UFC fights were like that. If they were, well, it would be the Roman Colosseum days all over again, wouldn’t it? Spiked gloves, tridents, man vs. bear, Dana White giving the losing fighter a thumbs down, etc.
If UFC allowed to fight to the death, it would be more exciting. It wouldn’t be as popular as it is now, however, because it would be banned for public viewing.
fights would end quicker
or they would be more boring
(lay and pray)
headbutting , punching to the ballls , and stomping the head
all would end the fight rather quick.
There wouldn’t be an UFC organization if that was the case.
Fights to the death are illegal, no sane fighters wold fight, and could not be televised.
i think it would’ve ended at UFC 3 due to lack of living fighters
no rules? none? i’d bring a shotgun. UNDEFEATED CHAMP!!!
It’d be less of a fight and more like the War in Iraq
