Foot injuries take a long time to heal. You've got lots of little bones down there, contestant pressure from putting weight on them, being stuck in your stinky shoes all day and I suspect relatively poor circulation as well.
Long toenails generally don't present a problem from kicks, but rather from stepping on someone's foot - you've got all your weight coming down onto a sharp edge. Given how filthy everything involved (your foot, their foot, the mats) is, you've got a good chance of picking up an infection right there, as well as the annoyance from pick up an injury, even a slight one, in a very painful spot.
Be nice to your partners, cut your damn toenails.

Also, cut and control your fingernails. I still have scars on both hands from a gouging I got from one chick. I have never been gouged by anyone else. She had short nails, but still managed to carve out pieces of flesh. And no, it didn't make me tap out, so it was pointless really.
YES!!! keep them short and file the sharp edge after you trim them. I had my eyelid sliced open when kicked. The guys toes slid out from under his foot protection and sliced my lid. 4 stitches later i was fine but it still grosses me out to think about it.
