They did get horrible ratings. But, I just can't imagine it had anything to do with no elbows.
"Hey bro, what's up?"
"Oh nothing, just about to watch this fightmaster show"
"Really?!? I heard there's no elbows allowed in the opening round"

UGCTT_nightkap -UGCTT_FryedTakayama -UGCTT_nightkap -romadant - Bellator is doing a lot of things wrong but they're getting this right.
If they expect a quick turnaround between quarter and semi final fights it makes sense to limit the possibility of a cut from an elbow that might prevent a winner form fighting within the time frame established for the next round.Yeah I guess you're right. I guess I just dont like watered down fights.
I MISS PRIDE FC!!!!!
Pride didn't allow elbows either.Yeah but there were so many other legal things. But ill be honest...I completely forgot they were illegal lol...
Strikeforce didn't allow elbows a majority of the time they were around either.
