|  Elbow Pads
Yea i know it sounds childish but I've been thinking bout elbow pads in mma. After all the main idea behind the gloves is to prevent cuts, why not do the same thing for elbows? even just a little bit of padding would limit fighters who try to stop fights the cheap way of trying to cut someone. Just wondering wut your thoughts are

why not headgear?
once you start putting pads on them, it gets ridiculous
either ban elbows, or use them.
if you dont want fights to end for cuts, then dont allow elbows.
if you dont care, let them be used

The 4oz. MMA gloves are used to help prevent breaking knuckles, not avoid cuts.
And, no.

I would only allow the pad to be used for Florian who uses the elbow with intention of opening up cuts to win. KenFlo, the most retarded nickname, is a freakin cheat and a puss.

And, no. | Yeah that's what I was gonna say... they dont feel all cushy, they are there to prevent broken knuckles. Dont need broken knuckles added on to the length a fighter has to wait to fight again.
