Games-Safety first as mixed martial arts grapples for recognition at Asian Games亚运会——安全第一，综合格斗力争在亚运会上获得认可
NAGOYA, Japan, Sept 21 (Reuters) - With no cage, no elbows and no appetite for blood on the mat, the Asian Games' mixed martial arts competition is not quite the visceral experience of a UFC fight night.

NAGOYA, Japan, Sept 21 (Reuters) - With no cage, no elbows and no appetite for blood on the mat, the Asian Games' mixed martial arts competition is not quite the visceral experience of a UFC fight night.
The athletes battle in traditional martial arts uniforms, wear shin guards for protection and dropping knees onto prone opponents is very much out of bounds.

日本名古屋，9 月 21 日（路透社）——没有笼子，没有肘击，也没有在垫子上流血的欲望，亚运会综合格斗比赛与 UFC 格斗之夜的刺激体验截然不同。
运动员们身着传统武术服进行比赛，佩戴护胫以保护身体，用膝盖攻击倒地的对手是绝对禁止的。
