A man who deliberately lays on the floor is not defenceless fine.
A man who is KNOCKED DOWN is defenseless, and the main issue with MMA as a sport is it allows a man who is knocked down (as opposed to taken down) to be pummelled.
If the sport had a simple rule change to say that strikes could only be thrown when both fighters were on their feet, and they when on the floor they could only grapple then most of the objections would be gone.
As kicks to the head of a grounded man have now been banned, perhaps MMA will move in this direction?
And I dont know why you keep bring up ear biting Jay. The point is that Tyson was disqualified for this. That is the proof that this is not allowed in boxing, he lost his title and his license for doing it.
