Here’s your guide to what you should know before Jubli’s fight.
Fan Guide: Understanding UFC Rules Ahead Of Anshul Jubli Fight
For those new to the sport, UFC features fighters competing in various weight divisions, ranging from the lightest Strawweight to the heaviest Heavyweight. Anshul Jubli is competing in the lightweight division, which has a weight limit of 155lbs (70kgs).
The competition in the lightweight division is incredibly fierce, and fighters must make weight to ensure their fight proceeds. If they exceed the weight limit, the fight might be canceled. This was the same case with Jubli’s opponent but the fight is happening given “King of Lions” took this fight regardless of the weight difference.
In non-title bouts, fights typically consist of 3 rounds, while title fights extend to 5 rounds. Victory can be achieved through finishes like KO or submission within these rounds. If there are no finishes and the fight goes the distance, three judges’ scores determine the winner. These judges assess factors like dominance, strikes, takedowns, control, and overall performance to decide the victor.
Fouls in mixed martial arts can lead to penalties if committed. These include actions like headbutting, eye gouging, biting, and various illegal strikes. Referees determine disqualifications or point deductions, ensuring fair competition. Judges do not assess fouls unless the referee intervenes.
