what are the rules of the UFC & Pride & other championships........?

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing a Vale Tudo fight with Chuck Liddell where he was trying to stomp on his downed opponent's nutz.

The opponent was on the grownd defending with his legs. Liddell was basically alternating with leg kicks and attempted groin stomps. It made me cringe more than just about anything else I've seen in MMA.

Liddel vs Pele, in Chuck's second ever pro mma fight. IVC 6.

So have the rules changed since then?

I am downloading now. I don't think the rules have changed much if at all. For some reason I'm under the impression that groin strikes have been removed by don't quote me on that. I'll search on google and see if I can come up with some info

No biting
No eye gouging
No fishing hook
No holding the ropes
No kicking if wearing shoes
No placing hands or feet inside the opponent's trunks
The referee can restart the fight

Thanks.
After a quick google, all I saw was the european vale tudo rules which are quite a bit more strict, so I wasn't sure.
