So you want to ban STANDING elbows?
That puts you in a serious minority.
Also, in regards to your Florian hate, I'll grant you that the elbow he got Leben with was intended to cut more than anything else. He aimed right for the eyebrow. However, the one he got Karalexis with was just beautiful close quarters Muay Thai striking. He didn't just cut Karalexis, he nearly ripped his nose off his face. That was as legit a standing elbow as you will ever see.
