In any given MMA event, odds are good that there will be several bouts where a fighter breaks the rules. The fouls might from anything as small as a 12-6 elbow or a cage grab, all the way to an eye poke or a kick in the groin. For their actions the referee might stop a fight and warn the offending fighter, but chances are good that they won’t even go that far. As often as not, officials will simply issue a verbal warning during the course of the action. The fighter willing to take advantage of that reality will find themselves with plenty of chances to tip the scales in their favor.
