they should solve it the japanese way and bring a hundred people into the ring and wait as long as it takes to convince the fighter who got hit low to keep fighting even though he can barely stand

NC Ron Faircloth No Contest - Sakara Kicked in Groin UFC 55 - Fury 10/7/2005 2 N/A

It was only 10 seconds in the 2nd round but that seems to indicate you don't get and automatic win from it happening.

I feel like that's a happenstance. As a rebuttal, I present you with this: http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Georg...ropoulos-11702 George Sotiropoulos loss to Aoki via illegal groin strike.

Then again, Alistair Overeem vs Crocop ended in a NC when he kneed Crocop, and Crocop couldn't continue... Perhaps if it 'looks' intentional? Or if it happens on multiple occasions? Because I can't see a fight going like this: *Groing strike*--> recovery. *Groin strike #2* 1 point deduction. *Groin strike 3* NC.

Shalorus vs Varner almost happened like this. Jamie eventually ended up finishing the fight though... Too bad for Varner it ended up being a draw anyway lol.

Don't trust Japan for consistently following a set of rules. Being that UFC 120 followed unified rules I would assume it would go the way of the Sakara fight since it would have been one hit that ended it. I think consistent groin strikes to an opponent would lead to a DQ win like it could have happened in the Shalorus fight where he was clearly not smartening up.

Also the Wanderlei - Yvel fight in Pride was a no contest after a groin kick

^ lmao.

In the post conference Condit answered a question where he said he'd be open to fight GSP if he gets a chance to which Dana started to applaud and praise him. Apparently fighters from that camp don't like to fight each other.

[Rhyis.]

Apparently Condit has never actually rolled with GSP, so no reason for it not to happen. (double negative bitches, what of it)


As for the ultimate groin strike match:

Ouch what the fuck!? Did the ref stopped that or was it one of those early ass UFC's where anything goes?

[Blarg]

That was UFC 4

My level of respect just of Downey Jr. has increased tremendously, hahaha.

So apparently if Shields wins his upcoming match, he gets an instant title shot. Anyone think GSP going to mop the floor with him?

[Blarg]

Style wise GSP should be able to crush him and would likely do it on the feet since Shields doesn't present much danger there.
