When was the last time there was a cut stoppage due to an elbow-strike in the UFC?
A couple of UFCs ago when the doctor "saw bone".

Everything about American MMA that isn't cool is somewhat related to the elbows.

Knees on the ground encourage passing the guard.

They routinely knock out or lead to knock outs.

They make sevearl positions much more valid and discourage shooting in for useless take downs.

They make the fight more exciting.

Knees > elbows.
well said best comparison I've read in a while kudos to you my friend...

Nope.

Belcher opened up that vagina on Starnes head with a knee.

Try again.

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.

What did you mean by "Knees = elbows"?

You haven't fought a real muay thai match.



the elbow makes blood run into your eyes, so you don't see the power shot coming .

Moreover, kicking has its range, punching has its range, and elbows and knees are for when you are even closer. You are ignorant.
