Crossing the legs during an arm bar isn't always a bad thing. For instance, The arm bar Ronda got on Tate in their first fight was 100% correct. From what I've seen Ronda's arm bars are perfect, except for a few sloppy ones. You're not going to be perfect all the time in a real fight, with an opponent trying everything in their power to prevent something from happening.

Here is a video of Rener Gracie talking briefly about crossing the legs during an arm bar attempt. Go to 5:50 of the video.
Her arm bars really are excellent. That sequence she used to arm at Cat was superb. I do think she has demonstrated better arm bar techniques than anyone else in mma
