“Ak-shun! Ak-shun!”
Fans of Japanese MMA fans know exactly what’s coming after hearing these
shouted commands: a yellow card. And just like soccer, the yellow card
comes out as a warning that your behavior simply isn’t going to be
accepted.
But unlike the sport currently featured in the World Cup, when a yellow
card comes out in MMA – a result of stalling by one of the competitors –
a 10 percent purse penalty comes along with it. So in our latest
MMAjunkie.com/”Inside MMA” poll, we asked if fans would like to see the
same system implemented in North America.
