You're right on the money! The problem is that some fighters use their elbows to inflict cuts on their opponents, because they know there is a good chance a ref or doctor will stop a fight if the cut is bad.
Does anyone remember Gary Goodridge's victory over Paul Herrera at UFC 8? Anderson Silva's victory over Tony Fryklund? There's a huge difference between using your elbow to smash someone's head in & using it like a switchblade.
Personally, I like elbows as well as knees & soccer kicks to downed opponents.
