The MMA "rules" say you cant strike an opponent in the groin, but I watched Ray Mercer being knee'd in the groin twice (sorry, the "inner thigh")... the only action the ref seemed to take was to aim a blow at Mercer while he was struggling to his feet after the fight had ended to tip him back over again.
I KNOW one bad fight doesnt damn a whole sport - but this was the fight held up an example of why MMA is so great... I can guess the kind of protection the ref's give.
