That's funny, because Ken was tko'd from elbowstrikes three times, one of which resulted in the fight being called because his face had as many bumps, highs, lows as a mountain range; the fight wasnt called because of a cut, and most of the damage was caused by elbows.

I'd be more than happy to ban elbows in favor of kneestrikes on the ground but saying that elbows causing little damage is simply asinine. fedor has never one-punch ko'd someone- by that logic, his punches don't do much damage.
