Recently met Ken. Great guy. MMA pioneer. Nice as hell and for the most part, pretty humble. Its kind of funny how those guys that didnt train the way he wanted them to got their asses beat or just completely drop their careers. Ken schooled the great Bas Rutten not once, but twice. Lay off the dude. There is a bunch of hate on here by people that dont know who or what they are talking about and jump on the latest bandwagon. The fact that that clip is at least a couple of years old means nothing I guess. And he is right about elbows. Knees have the KO power, yet they are not allowed to the head on the ground. Elbows serve only to cut and potentially stop a fight due to a severe cut. As far as damage, they really dont do that much. I wouuld rather see knees to the head while on the ground than elbows. It seems that when a fighter seems to be out-muscled or what have you, they turn to elbows to try to get the quick cut and win. I am rambling on now, but you get the point.
