Elbows

[bobby rivers]

This last card under Zuffa was still badass. And a grounded elbow was a highlight. I think SF just has different fighters.

And what about Amir Sadolla's bows from the gift wrap at ufn. Pretty awesome.

Honestly Gilbert Melendez showed just how effective ground elbows actually are.

Because he postured up and ended a half dead guy. No one says they cant be effective, however, the way they are "gameplanned" in MMA are a source of problems.

Anderson Silva should be the only one able to throw elbows because he actually knocks people out with them not just cuts them above the eye then stops the fight.

If we go by your thinking well end up with a watered down version of what we have today and I for one am not down with that next people will be complaining about inside cut kicks and how they also need to be taken out then it will be something else people love MMA because its the ultimate test of man vs man a true test of skill and technique take away elbows and we are one step closer to loosing that.

Then get your face out of the way!!

MMA is not a frigging real fight simulation without eye gauging. Put in eye gauging and hooking and clinch is a very bad idea, let somebody bite you in the balls and we will see if your stupid triangle attempt or high mount is gonna work. Why don't you shoot a double leg on a guy who is holding a knife and stabs you in the ribs 10 times before you pass to the side mount. Stop being stupid with this mma is real life simulation bullshit if your street fight credentials goes as far as watching you tube videos. If you want to know a bit more go talk to a soldier on how real life combat goes when you run out of ammo and then try to work it out under mma rules.

MMA is a sport, it is watched for entertainment, produced for money and fame, practiced for staying in shape, ego, fame and cash.

If you try bite my balls in a triangle, you will wake up with a broken arm, naked, penetrated, and ill probably take your wallet for principle.

Elbows have pros and cons. Some of us want as many weapons as possible regardless. Someone holding me down in halfguard and usin 3 inch bows to shut down my jj and win rounds the boring way is my worst enemy. So I better learn to deal with it.

Actually Ive been a United States Marine for over 10 years and guess what MMA is very practical and is actually used in training Marines for combat in the MCMAP system to include clinch work and triangle chokes and yea go ask a Soldier about real life combat training and he will educate you on how the Army actualy had the Gracies come in to teach them ground techniques which is now required training for them so look before you go running your mouth about things you obviously have no clue about you may actually want to learn about what your saying before you speak because your making yourself look like a fool people like you are gonna end up killing this great sport and turning it into a joke like Mr. Rivers above me said if you dont like elbows then learn to deal with them.
