ONE FC Breaking News: soccer kicks now legal

By: Sensei Phillip Palmejar

Due to the immense amount of public back lash and forum argument, ONE Fighting Championships has decided to adopt the full Pride FC rules and go with the legality of all ground kicks regardless of referee decisions or if the fighter is intelligently defending them self.

This comes in the wake of one of the strangest endings to a fight in recent history when Andre Arlovski finished Tim Sylvia via soccer kicks to gain them both a No Contest after the kicks were deemed illegal by referee Yuji Shimada.  One FC’s official Tweet read:

“Effective immediately, One FC has adopted full Pride rules for soccer kicks. Catch ONE FC: Rise of Kings on Oct 6!”

Perhaps all of the opinion articles flooding the internet, such as mine, had some sort of sway over the powers that be with ONE FC.  Thanks guys.
