Here lets just put it this way. If a fighter doesn't have a lot of skill but he KO's everyone quick that is ok. If someone isn't great at subs and does some laying on the opponent with some strikes that is ok . But its not ok to swipe an elbow across someones face open him up and win that way I don't get it. |
I agree with you 100%, cuts are a great way to win, and droppin 'bows is a hell of an attack... The difference with the Fedor fight is that in the federation whose rules the fight was taking place under, elbows were illegal without elbow pads. Fedor's opponent did not wear pads and opened up his cut using an elbow strike... That's the difference. I do agree with what you say do a cut is a completely legit way to win a fight, just not in this context.
