    you then have to survive all the other rounds, while exhausted, depleted

    Rounds? That’s sports martial arts. There are other kinds where there are no rounds, no points to score. Some of the things I learned how to do would get me disqualified from any tournament, no matter how “no rules” it claims to be.

      I mean, same here, I also know techniques that are highly not allowed in any tournament or training / sparring / kumite.

      But the existence of forbidden moves does not negate the concept of rope a dope as a strategy.

      Like, just because its possible to say, punch someone in the back of the head, or go for a takedown in a stand up only fight… this does not somehow make rope a dope… not a widely known strategy.
