Perhaps it was high time for the UFC to adopt a "No Contact" policy before fights to prevent brawls-such as what erupted the other week between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier-from happening, fight commentator Joe Rogan said.

"I think it's ridiculous," said Rogan. "It's just so bad for the image of the sport."

"The importance of that not happening is huge," Rogan continued. "That's just violence."

Incidents such as that could have been avoided had there been a "no contact policy," he pointed out and fighters who violate the rule could be immediately sanctioned.

Rogan, 46, explained that MMA is a competition that should be distinguished from plain violence in the same manner as a brawl. "That's a street fight," Rogan said of the incident.

Jones, 27, is the UFC lightweight champion, and the 35-year-old Cormier is an Olympic wrestler.

"That's bad for wrestling. That's bad for MMA. That's bad for sports," Rogan added.

The brawl erupted last week as both fighters slugged it out right after a staredown during a photo opportunity for fight fans at the MGM Grand in light of their upcoming pay-per-view title matchup on September 27.

The Nevada's Athletic Commission (NAC) has not yet reached any decision on what disciplinary action they would mete out. The body likewise admitted that the commission has not dealt with this kind of incident and no immediate disciplinary measures can be issued as of the moment.

Cormier became Jones' opponent after No. 1 contender Alexander Gustafsson was forced to pull out of the match due to a torn meniscus in June.
