The rules of MMA differ slightly from one promotion to the next because each fighting organization can create unique rules. For example, the regulations for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) may differ slightly from the rules for Strikeforce. These are the basic rules for mma
1)No groin attacks.
2)No knees to the head on a grounded opponent.
3)No strikes to the back of the head or the spine.
4)No head butts. (Sorry, soccer fans.)
5)No eye gouging.
6)No fish hooking.
7)No fingers in an opponent’s orifices. (Eww!)
8)No biting.
9)No hair pulling. (Besides, that’s so second grade.)
10)No strikes or grabbing of the throat.
11)No manipulation of the fingers or toes.
12)No intentional grabbing of the ring or cage.
13) No intentional throwing of your opponent outside of the ring or cage. (That stuff belongs in professional wrestling.)
