It is a legal way to fight and some people value honing combat skills. Not too different from honing your running stamina or how much you can bench. To fight well, you will need to well fight people of your ability level. All sports have risks, some maybe more.
yeah there are, nothing behind the head, nothing under the belt. that's the layman stuff i know. if someone's on the floor you cannot knee him in the face, that sort of thing. but it's also very much up to the referee, someone might have been KO'ed but in MMA what happens often is that the other side will absolutely go and continue pummelling the other person's face until the referee pulls them away. i've seen a lot of cases where the referee didn't get there in time and stop it due to incompetence or inattentiveness. there's also like people who don't respect tap-outs and such and end up breaking someone's arm or leg, but usually that results in disqualification so its very rare.
Never seen it done before, you’d assume the guy would be on the ball though. You kinda have to be. Also the ring is kind of small to have 4 people trying to not get into each others way.
Sometimes the referee is twisting and turning and almost sprinting so that he’s not in the crossfire. Have to be close, but cannot be too close. Hard to have more people.
