Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan called for changes to the current rules in mixed martial arts during his podcast. Specifically, Joe suggested allowing fighters to fight on the ground until one of them stands up.
"The rules are made more for strikers than fighters. A fight is a fight. I don't think you have to get to your feet at all. I believe that if a guy knocks you down, the fight should continue on the ground. If it's boring for the audience, then fine. If you're on the ground, get up! And if you can't get up, then don't," Rogan said on his podcast.
