Can any of you tell me how "ground and pound" can be legal in MMA?
I mean elbows dangerous too but that's borderline but ground and pound? It mostly consists of bashing a knocked down man's skull to the canvas so the back of his head bounces on the canvas and receives repeated blows. Isn't that like the surefire way to get killed in the ring? I still doN't hear about occasions it costed a life why is that...? Simply luck and it's an accident waiting to happen or the canvas is so flexible that it totally absorb the energy of the punch or something...?
Thats actually less dangerous than being conscious and taking constant punishment but not being knocked out. Plus the canvas is a little bit soft/padded so it's different than when you see people on the street punching someone's skull into the hard concrete pavement. There's a little give.
Also ground and pound just means punching someone on the grind. It doesn't just refer to punching a knocked out opponent.
