Fellow Mexicans Alexa Grasso and Irene Aldana have practiced a similar elbow to that one...

[Afrikan]

I can't find a gif....but if you ever see them shadow boxing or their training videos... they do it.

Crazy that Yair landed it in a fight.

Edit- it's not from that exact same position Yair was in...but still a suprise elbow coming upwards.

Edit- found it from a old post.

Lets have some elbows

I'm gonna pass, but good insight.

Maybe a signed treaty like using a cloaking device in Star Trek.

Maybe she's the one who taught it to him

The last one she threw?

 

[SCTwins]

The last one she threw?

Yes. 100%

Yair basically threw an upwards elbow while leaning forward. He didn't even rotate at all. I've never seen that before in a fight.

We need a GIF of it

Oh yeah I totally agree... just felt the it's a similar approach to suprise someone with a elbow they wouldn't expect coming.

Is OP saying that, or is he rather suggesting that their possibly shared camp and fighting style might incorporate it.

Choose wisely.
