I think Loomer has it. You've made an assessment based on how men fight. Shock absorption is a trade off for stamina in this example, the lower center of gravity is mitigated by AOC's additional range, I believe its ALL mitigated however by the fact that what we'd likely witness is hands locked in hair until one trips over something and both topple. Once on the ground, I believe Loomer would have the weight advantage. If she was able to get on top, AOC would be pinned in a bad way.

I think from a pay-per-view to fiscal gain perspective, AOC VS Southern is a much better choice for viewership.

I admit I don't watch MMA fights, so I will defer to your expertise on this one. Is hair really fair game?

Hair isn't fair game per say. Example being in any kind of professional fighting, you would never use hairpulling as a tool. A street fight however, if long hair exists, you can expect an attempt to get a fist full of it.

Control of a handful of hair can result in control and leverage over the head, a person can keep your head downward to prevent a line of sight, can pull it downward into a knee, will have a much higher chance of making proper contact with punches as a result of you not being able to create distance at the correct moment etc. I've seen a police officer pull a man to the ground by his dreads.

You could lift a person by their hair.. Drag them.. It's why hair needs to be pulled back when operating heavy equipment with moving parts. You could easily pull a man in by just their hair.

If I was about to fight for my life, with the stipulation being whoever left the room survives, I'd cut my hair off immediately. The value of my hair VS the risk of a miscalculation allowing a person to use it for the upper hand.. Hair grows back, brain damage can absolutely be forever.
