Jimmy Kimmel sends activists to protest UFC's 'punching and kicking'

Mixed martial arts incorporates a variety of disciplines, but perhaps it could use a little less punching and kicking.

That's the premise of this "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" segment in which he sends community activists Jack and Becky out to a UFC event with a petition to essentially ban all kinds of strikes from the Octagon.

As you'd expect, the suggestion is not warmly received, though it draws some interesting reactions from UFC president Dana White and featured fighters Donald Cerrone, Michael Bisping, Urijah Faber, and Luke Rockhold.
