#134 Frankly, we find rule 25 a reasonable reaction to the entire proceedings
The man of wealth and taste in the White House has come up with a fitting way of celebrating our country’s semiquincentennial. “We’re going to have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. Every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250. And I even think we’re going to have a UFC fight."
Since we suspect that the vast ConstiToonies audience is not particularly up-to-date on Ultimate Fighting, we post here the fouls as listed by Nevada State Athletic Commission:
1. Head-butting
2. Eye-gouging
3. Biting
4. Hair pulling

26. Interference by the corner
27. Throwing in the towel during competition
28. Applying any foreign substance to the hair, body, clothing or gloves immediately prior to or during a contest or exhibition that could result in an unfair advantage
29. If the referee has signaled that the opponent has been knocked out, striking an opponent who is helpless as a result of previous blows and so supported by the ring or fenced area that he or she does not fall
30. Striking deliberately at the part of the body over the kidneys

Fouls against a grounded opponent
1. Kicking the head of a grounded opponent (see soccer kick)
2. Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent
3. Stomping a grounded opponent
When a foul is charged, the referee, in their discretion, may deduct one or more points as a penalty. If a foul incapacitates a fighter, then the match may end in a disqualification if the foul was intentional, or a no contest if unintentional. If a foul causes a fighter to be unable to continue later in the bout, it ends with a technical decision win to the injured fighter if the injured fighter is ahead on points, otherwise it is a technical draw.
