The Top 5 Times The UFC Counteracted Their Own Rules.

Intro.

Rules are meant to be stuck to, and not broken. Someone tell that to the worlds leading fight orginisation. From failed drug tests causing a PPV to get moved, and fighters actions proving to not be fireable. These are a selection of the times when the UFC Counteracted their own rules.

5. Media Rules.

On the eve of UFC 207. Amanda Nunes was due to defend her UFC Womens Bantamweight Championship against a returning a Ronda Rousey, however only Amanda did the press rounds for this PPV, this is due to the fact that Dana gave Ronda time off. This had many fans including myself feeling baffled, because if you take a look at fighter contracts, it's in print that they've got to do the media rounds. So this was a clear counteract.

4. Michael Bisping Spits On A Fellow Fighters Coach.

Take your mind back to 2011, and UFC 127, the event took place in Perth Australia, and. Michael Bisping was facing Jorge Rivera. The build was highly contentious, as both men made personal jibes at one another, this continued into their fight, as Bisping could be heard goding Jorge. Bisping got the win, and then went and started shouting at Jorge's cornermen, leading to him spitting on one of his coaches. Bisping apologised for his behaviour in the build up, but not for his post fight actions. This pissed off Dana White, who then later on did punish the mothy brit. Paul Daaley got releaesd for attacking Josh Koscheck in the aftermath. Can you say double standards.

3. PPV Gets Moved.

Fans angered a lot of fans. The UFC moved 232 due to the fact that the Nevada Athletic State Commission couldn't investigate Jon Jones failed drug test. This raised the question over accountability.

2. Khalib Should Have Been Fired.

If take a look at 229, and it's aftermath, just undermined the UFC's clear aim at wanting to break it's own rules. In my opinion Khalib should have been fired.

1. Fights Made On The Fly.

Making fights on the night, is a contentious thing in the world of the fight game, but when fighters get fights due to being inactive for over a year is just baffling. Ronda vs Amanda, and Leon vs Colby, are both good examples of this.
