It's been discussed many times before. I'll always agree that less limitations is better for my own watching experience. I like the elbows to the head, and I also like knees and kicks to the head of a downed opponent. Stomps are okay, but then again, I also wouldn't mind seeing headbutts and perhaps even downward elbow strikes reinstated. I don't mind watching an ugly fight. "Full contact fighting" is exactly what the name describes. I think it's fine to outlaw certain places on the body for fighters to target (groin, neck, back of the head, spine), but I don't like for them to outlaw the tools that fighters use to compete. Everyone has the same tools, and nothing makes these tools inherently dangerous. Strikes to certain areas on the body are dangerous, yes, but what makes (for instance) a headbutt any less acceptable than a head stomp or a flying knee is beyond me. I think the more tools a fighter is allowed to use, the better.

As for cuts, I think they shouldn't be considered grounds for stopping the fight when the blood loss or placement of the cut (as with Couture when he fought Belfort) is an issue. Otherwise, the fighter should be given the same chance to defend himself as he would if there was no cut in the first place. If only more referees felt this way.
