Trying to get in close to elbow a taller fighter would result in a downward hammerfist on your head or some nasty counterpunches, I wouldnt try unless I had teh guy tired or hurt bad.

You don't see many leg kicks or not as many body shots as you should in the UFC either. It kind of bugs me.

yes I always thought that way, thai fighters use them alot and you can get an easy cut victory but problem when you elbow you are exposed to his elbow
