Just wanted to if the NSAC is allowing these techniques? If not, how do you guys think Shogun will do against Randleman? I still feel that Shogun will whoop the Monsters but all over the place, but will this make it a less exciting fight?
Pride doesn't allow elbows for the fact they can stop fights so quickly. Cuts open up in bad spots and bam, the fights over. Pride would rather see vicious knockouts over doc. stoppage
Doh! I've watched a ton of Pride events and didn't really notice they didn't allow elbows. IMO, ramming a knee into a guy's head and neck area when he's on the ground is much more dangerous to a fighter's health than an elbow. However I can understand not allowing elbows in the context of preventing cuts. Blood and doctor stoppages don't make for great fights.
Yeah at first I thought "what the hell?" Kick to the head on the ground, knees, but no elbows? Then it came to me, cuts are the dumbest way to stop a fight so it all makes sense
