ITs not the UFCs choice for knees to the head of a downed opponent, that was one of the NSAC stipulations, if you look when pride was in the US they had the same rules as the UFC without the elbows... perosnaly i like the idead of kneeing a dudes dome whiles hes down it would make for alot less LnP because there is another option of attack... but people in the US think thats too violent

well the cage i was in was kinda small so i really could work angles alot but i never been inside a decent size one but a ring is more to my likings as i can work more angles and i have more room to move around

The ring gives a favorible pace and evenness in matchups but eliminates the quick finish. The cage favors wrestling and makes BJJ less important along with most striking.
The ring better reflects a purrer version of the sport.
I would say cage though, it keeps a better flow and much higher pace.

The Ring you have in Boxing Wrestling(Sometimes Cages) and also some MMA.

i think thewy both have adv. and disadv. i like the ring for the visibility way better camera angles.i dont mind the restarts. the cage is cool i like the lock down until its over no where to go.but i really hate when they just lay on the fence for minutes at a time either clinched throwin little patty cake shots to the gut. can get kinda boring.as far as grabbing either way if your falling or trying to avoid a take down its just natural instinct to grab whatever u can . but i personally prefer the ring.

Now that UFC and PRIDE have merged into one organization, what style of fighting arena should be used. Some say the cage and others feel that the ring should be used. What are your thoughts?
Funny, saw this EXACT same question on inside mma. lol

The one thing I never liked about Pride was all the delays with the ropes etc.
How do you stop a fighter in a dominant position, pounding the piss out of his opponent, and say "OK, back to the middle and restart the fight"
The only people that was ever good for was the guy getting his teeth knocked in or the judges not getting even more blood + sweat on them!
THE C A G E FOREVER ! ! !
A ring, rink, ropes, whatever, is for boxing + ice skating!

I don't mind which is used but, if I were to choose, it would probably be in a cage. I think it adds a great element to the sport in a way of giving it an identity away from boxing and co, and adds to the atmosphere to events. Although, I suppose it fuels some assclowns crap about it being human cockfighting in a cage, etc.

A cage all the way, a ring makes a yound unexperienced fighter feel safe that he can hop through the ropes if a beast like Kimbo is fighting him, but in a cage there is NO ESCAPE
a cage also looks BADASS!!!

I prefer a ring myself... If it was my job to decide the combat arena... I'd use the octagon for the geometry of avoiding being cornered... but with ring ropes and lot's of space level to the ring in case the fighters fell through the ropes... It'd still look as bad-ass as the cage... but we'd have knees and stomps on the ground...
But it's not my job to decide... so I'll shut up now...

I most definitely prefer the cage for MMA. The ring is probably better for the live show but I hate restarts.

i think in a cage it is to easy to lay a guy on the fence and take away his ground skill, while in a ring if things get to close to the edge they can just drag you back to the middle of the ring. i would rather watch guys in the ring cuz i think it is based more on who is better on the ground and not just about who can get there guy on the fence first.
