probably lets the fighters regain energy and keep going.
otherwise they'd tire themselves out pretty quickly.
but if they remove it or at least penalize to deter hugging, wouldn't the athletes just adapt?
It's so that they can go to fight, then clinch when they can't do it any longer. By "adapt" they would just not do anything and walk around instead.
It would just be a huge change to the sport in general. You would probably see fighters losing all their power by round 3
