Cheating In Martial Arts

Mixed martial arts (MMA) adheres to strict rules to avoid cheating that may go against the ethics and safety of fighters, and obstruct their future MMA fitness. There are big cheats and there are small cheats. There are also small cheats with big consequences for the opponent and his MMA fitness. At any rate, like any other sport, there is always the possibility of some type of cheating in mixed martial arts. Here is a sampler.

Going Baywatch. An oil slick skin is harder to hang onto than normal skin, but covert lubrication is sometimes done by fighters. However, there are possibilities it may no longer be allowed, and commissioners are actually on the lookout for slick skin.
Grabbing the fence. A fighter may take this to a slippery slope. For example, when taken down it is a basic human instinct to grab at something near you—including the fence. If the referee doesn’t call it, then that grab might put you in a dominant position and you gain from the “basic human instinct”.
Foot traction. Shoes provide traction and the laces or tongue might enhance injury to an opponent’s face, so they are not allowed. However ankle wraps are allowed and a fighter may simply apply traction to the bottom sole of the ankle wrap.
The eye poke. All fighters know this is not favored, but most of the time it is a normal kinetic reaction to extend your fingers when striking. Usually, a subtle finger extension when striking the face, with a half fist, half slap that plunges fingers into the corneas can spell the difference. The bout can be interrupted, or your opponent’s vision could be affected for the rest of the fight.
HGH/Testosterone. There is no test that can detect HGH, which is popularly among many actors and athletes of all types of sports, including chess players. Synthetic testosterone is banned, but athletes can take it if their reading is below normal—however, what is considered normal can vary from one physician to the next, and a fighter can use this to benefit from HGH.

Overall, the above can be considered as “small cheating” when compared to the next list of ways to cheat. The strategies that follow may have been employed in pre UFC days, especially during street fights or individual fights, which could give us a greater appreciation of UFC rules. Definitely, they are forbidden today. MMA competitors may not:

Trap and murder his opponent before the match was programmed to start.
Hire out another fighter with the guarantee to pay them a percentage of any winnings.
Bully the opponent by threatening to kill the opponent’s family if they do not submit.
Still fight and attack his opponent even though the bout has already ended.
Pay off the judges and referees with a bribe or “sweeteners”.
Use a hidden tool such as a bat, stick or mace.
Request for a timeout when they are trailing in the fight.
Falsely declare their weight or experience so they can fight somebody who is weaker.
Deliberately change the rules of the fight to one side’s advantage.
