I don't think you know what you're talking about.

What about the Clint Hester vs Bristol Marunde undercard fight? Was that elbow superficial?

12-6 or 9-3, I don't see a difference really from that position.

I think they could easily be called illegal, depending on who's the judge. But i am for KO's, so they are fine with me.

goocher - 12-6 or 9-3, I don't see a difference really from that position.

The only kind of elbow that is illegal is a ceiling-to-floor 12-6 elbow thrown with no arc whatsoever. 11-5 is fine. 9-3 is fine. Even 12-6, if it is thrown with an arc, is fine.

Yes. Totally cheap. Murande fell to the ground after he was temporary blinded by blood in his eye. There was no real damage at all.

I love that you can use elbows in mma. More damaging than a fist. If you block them then you don't have to worry about getting cut. Phone Post

Yes I understand. In my opinion guys can have just as much power with other angles other than 12-6. King Mo was dropped by the same position.

I agree with you.

If anything, 9-3 elbows are MORE powerful. That is why I believe that 12-6 elbows should be legal. The only reason they are banned is because some dumbass commissioner watched brick breaking on thought 12-6 elbows must be super-dangerous.
