Mixed martial arts is an ever growing sport. The rules and regulations are progressively shifting and shaping for many of the sport’s top promotions. However, there are still some unanswered questions and confusing points concerning the sport. For those situations, there is longtime mixed martial arts referee “Big” John McCarthy.
Responding to a fan who asked over Twitter, “@JohnMcCarthyMMA @HerbDeanMMA @hindsmmareferee is striking w/ glutes (a la Hunt flying butt drop) considered a leg strike for foul reasons?”
John McCarthy responded, “The Atomic Butt drop is not a kick and is not a foul.”
