Just because your shoulder blades are on the ground doesn't mean gravity suddenly pulls things towards your knees. Down is down.

I wish people would just read your post then STFU. Ive trained for years, and this is pretty damn close to the explination of why certain elbows are legal. The only thing illegal about those elbows was when they did strike behind the ear. The rule on that is pretend you have ear muffs on, anything behind that line that goes across the top of the head is illegal. but elbows from 6-3 are legal in the UFC.

Oh... than it's OK then?

He won't get away with it twice... good point. Tell that to the guy whom he was illegally hitting. Tell that to the guy who just sunk to the bottom of the division. Tell that to the people whom were affiliated with Lauzon and lost out - big time.

But it's OK.... he won't get away with it twice. Foolish.

The truth is nobody should have gotten away with it after Silva. Because I can see the first time being not a big deal. Fool me once, shame on you.... fool me twice, shame on me. The saying rings true in this situation. They let their posterboy get away with illegal strikes on Lutter in a showcased fight. But it should never happen again, unless it is their intention.



Maybe this was a reason why McCarthy retired when it seemed a bit premature.

The NBA turned cheating for their stars into an artform..... and the sport has dropped like a rock ever since.

So stop watching it. If you don't see it, we won't have to read anymore of these horrible threads.

Now fuck off

Strange how the rules state nothing about positioning?

10. Striking downward using the point of the elbow


Nope. Says nothing about fighters positioning. I'm pretty sure if the rules did include such a provision...... perhaps it might be mentioned.

Realistically, the only time a 12 to 6 positioning would occur is when the opponent is kneeling. The UFC clearly states in their rules when an opponent kneeling or grounded matters. But they make no such preovision with the "10. Striking downward using the point of the elbow".

Here's two examples:
14. Kicking the head of a grounded opponent.
15. Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent.

The UFC rules CLEARLY state when fighter positioning matters. But they made no such provisions in the downward elbow point strikes rule. Why? Because it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RULE!

Holy shit you're a fucking MORON.

I hate when clowns on the internet have commentary for everything. You hate Herb Dean, you think the UFC is corrupt. You hate the NBA because cheating. You hate Obama because he's black. You hate rice because it's white.

Just shut the fuck up, no one asked for your opinions on anything. Think you can do better? go become a ref for one of the state athletic commissions. Go work for the UFC. Go be pro-active about this shit. Sitting on the internet criticizing everything and crying about shit thats happened MONTHS ago won't change anything.

Personally I would like to see MMA mainstream. I would hope others would as well. Instead of watching Dana ruining the entire sport by destroying it's credibility.

I would rather not just turn my back on a sport.... But Dana White leaves little choice. And appearently it's OK with you if everybody turns their back on the sport if they don't support cheating.
