Everyone loves a good headbutt KO!

Okay, I’ve traveled all over the world competing, and have only gotten to legally use headbutts once, during a Vale Tudo tournament held in Mexico over 10 years ago.

As the sport progressed, the rules changed it from NHB to MMA, and sadly weight classes were instituted and rules making headbutts illegal were made.

I still think the headbutt is a very useful technique in fighting, even in MMA the dynamics of the clench against the fence, or maintaining side control, mount, would change dramatically.

…Alas, Headbutts are still legal in combat sambo, which is basically NHB with a Gi…lol.
