can a GI be worn in ultimate fighting championships?

No.  The old days of the UFC are over, unfortunately.  Fighters are now only permitted to wear knee-length trunks or shorter, due to gaming commission restrictions in several states that play host to the UFC.

I hear some boxers do a lot of jump roping and spitting when they need to make weight class.  Probably not very healthy, but might work.  Just remember, you might dehydrate.

I'm not sure if the explanation below applies to Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, but I can summarize Royler Gracie's explanation of why the gi is used in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  The gi forces you to work on proper technique.  It gives you and your sparring partner many more places to grab on to and forces you to be constantly aware of your posture and any openings you give up.  It also gives you a consistently dry place to grab on to as you sparring partner begins  to sweat, forcing them to be more technical with their escapes.  Later, after developing an understanding of the basics, you can begin to add no gi practice into training.

Well I can't think of one art that focuses on all of the things that you name. Brazillian Jujitsu probably comes the closest. It focuses on grappling, pressure points, and submissions. I believe they do have some takedowns but most of it is groundfighting so I wouldn't consider take downs to be a part of the focus. On the flipside, Judo focuses on takedowns, grappling, and submissions but not so much on pressure points because it is a sport. Then there is Japanese Jujitsu, which is what I practice, and we focus on take downs, pressure points, and submissions. We don't do so much grappling but it is there. So all in all, if you want to focus on all of the elements you named, I would combine a couple of martial arts (BJJ and Judo would be quite effective if you want to compete in a fight competition or just get in good shape. If you are looking to study for pure self defense, then BJJ and Japanese Jujitsu would be good).

Depends on the size of the boxers. Also, wearing tight pants is a no no.

Gracie is done.  He's too old and he's not strong enough.  Brazilian Jiu Jitzu is the best single style to know but today you need to be versed in many styles to win in the UFC.  I imagine that if Gracie would return he would most likely lose many of his fights and he would embarrass himself and his family.  He should have never fought this fight and he should "gracefully" retire.

Dude, that is a tough one to answer.\n\nBoth are highly skilled and have a lot of momentum on their sides.\n\nIt might be the difference of youth vs experience.\n\nEveryone keeps saying the Gracie will immediately go for submissions, but, keep an open mind. He is a well rounded fighter.\n\nI don't know what technique Hughes will use, but his outrageous strength will come in very handy. Hughes might want to stand on his for a while to wear Gracie down.\n\nBut, I am very bad at making predictions, so, I am waiting impatiently for May 27.

Those armbands are part of Muay Thai tradition. They are called the Pra Jiad and fighters wear them for self confidence and good luck in their matches. They don't necessarily have to be made out of rope but also from some other materials that hold special meaning for fighters.

A lot of practices.  Learning moves.  Rolling mats up.  Having to wear a singlet. Stinky guys...and be careful not to get your finger or ankle broken.

Why, another grapple fighting sport my dear sir. Look into judo for one, i know my cousin dropped out of judo because they had a change in sensei and whatnot, got into wrestling, she now does quite well, but i can't remember if she got a gold in provincials or nationals last year, well definetly provincials, i'd have to ask about nationals. And vice versa, i compete against a guy, he's been in judo a third of the time i have, and i consider him almost my competitive equal, his judo techniques in a lot of areas can be very low, but he carries very well with practical and tournament techniques necessary for kicking the shit out of people. Judo is good because it has your take downs, pins, submissions, whatever you want to look at. You can also look at jujitsu, but there is a lot of striking unecessary to wrestling, so maybe brazillian jujitsu. If you want sports to aid in strength training and conditioning, try boxing, rock climbing, kick boxing, rugby, maybe football. cycling is a good leg workout, but doesn't do much for your technique. i would stay away from form martial arts such as karate, kung fu, and tae kwon do (god it hurts to put kung fu next to those other discraces, i can't stand what north american culture has done to them.) But yes, judo and jujitsu are definetly worth a shot.

Follow the rules of engagement. That is all you can do. War ceased to be battle between two distinctly uniformed forces sometime ago. Now we fight people who discard their uniforms in favor of civilian clothing to give them a  perceived advantage in combat. Yes it makes proper identification almost impossible, so the use of force has to be based on actions, not flags or uniforms.
