Exactly.

I remember Bruce Lee saying that, in a real fight, there is no reason to kick your opponent anywhere above the knee.

Your objective is to take your attacker down in the quickest and most effective way possible. …a punch in the throat, or go for the eyes or groin. None of those things are legal, or taught, to UFC fighters.
