This is why elbows should be banned.

Should ban TDs too, since they allow those dirty wrestlers to win rounds.

Or...and I know I'm asking much here. A fighter can not get themselves put in a position to suffer either of the above.

replace elbows with knees to a downed opponent and we have a real, legit sport.

It does nothing but cause a mess and make it a dirty fight.

I hate people like you. My elbows and Knees are my favorite ways to strike. Watching old Pride fights where Shogun stomped people in the face was something I could understand being banned. Striking someone with Elbows should always remain completley legal in the UFC.

Cry moar, that's fine. But do not fucking take weapons away from fighters. They already lost knees and kicks to downed fighters, removing elbows without adding knees/kicks is lame as fuck. I'm all for knees, but until then, quit trying to fuck the sport up even more.

Exactly.

Watch boxing if you don't like elbows.

Spoken like a true Texan I like that. Good man.

I like elbows, but those who likes elbows but don't like soccer kicks/flying stomps to the head at the same time are just weird.

At least...at the very least, there should be knees to the grounded + up kicks everywhere.

Bring in soccer kicks/stomps

 

[Enlightened Ego**]

while we are at it, lets ban mma.

 

[afrdzak]

Solid argument, TS.

It causes damage like other strikes. Also, it doesn't always cut. A lot of elbows can just be hard shots to the face. Jones showed it with Vera. However, there are cases like Florian who actually goes for cuts with his elbows (Sherk fight)

Either way, I think its dumb people want these banned. It hasn't shown to put fighters at serious risk. If you really want to look to ban moves, you should consider looking at some of the submission that are legal in MMA and not top level grappling competitions.

You're part of the problem. Too many people care about what they like and not what's good for making the sport a household one.

It's not about what you like, its about fighter safety. Elbows don't put a fighter in serious danger like those moves could.

Keep elbows, make knees and kicks to a grounded opponent allowed please.

 

[BreakingBad]

I'm surprised so many people are responding to this guys claim. It's an obvious troll thread if I've ever seen one.

That's why elbows should stay.
