Yes and no depending on where the pressure point is located.
According to the UFC rules (which is generally accepted to be similar to other MMA rule sets) - Unified Rules and Other MMA Regulations, you are forbidden from:
- Striking the neck
- Small joint manipulation
- Eye gouging
- Grabbing the clavicle
- Groin attacks
- Striking the clavicle
etc.
From a self-defense perspective, these are very good places to attack.
Provided the pressure point is not classified under the attack, then it is fair game.
Keep in mind though that MMA fighters tend to be muscular which can lessen the impact on a pressure point.

It all comes back to this simple question, "Which skill will a Taiji master use to kill Royce?"

My question is please if a Tai Chi master is in a noisy environment, and is blindsided by a professional football player who tries to tackle the master into the ground, and the attacker happens to be a high level ground fighter/BJJ, would the tai chi master be sufficiently able to subdue the attacker?
The point of the question is to see whether BJJ is a necessary supplement to Tai Chi Training, with regards to an unarmed self defense scenario where something like the above were to occur
