Elbows to a downed opponent's head, statistics

[SeattleFightFan]

good stats.

although i'd rather see 'good' ground game (think Karo v Diaz) than good ol fashioned GnP ground game (think Tito v Shamrock I), and i think disallowing elbows would lead to more of the kind of action that I LIKE on the ground, that's just an IMHO and is not a legit reason to disallow em.

Do you know the 17 fights that were Dr stoppages. I'm sure we could quickly figure out exactly how each ended.

And thanks a lot for putting all that together.

I'll make a list later today, as soon as I have some more free time...it took me about 20 mins to go through the bunch of pages in the fightfinder for the original research, shouldn't take me longer than that for this.

Knees yes, stomps no. Kicks, maybe.

I like the idea that a fighter on his back can kick his opponent in the head, even if his opponent is on his knees (Silva v Okami in Rumble on the Rock). I don't want to see a standing fighter kicking an opponent in the head when he is on his back or on all fours though.

Wasn't that nasty cut the Vitor put on Eastman from a knee?

[NickNick]

There are other cut ending fights that weren't from elbows also. Like that one Marvin Eastman fight.

If you get a cut its your own fault for having pussy skin.

[Nader]

I always thought elbows should be banned but after reading that I actually you changed my opinion on the matter. I can't believe the % is that low.

Good first post and welcome

Lmao, stupid but funny.

Fedor has some baby skin. He cuts like a sheet of paper.

I guess the techniques allowed need to be balanced out with public acceptance/image.
