In an interview with the Swedish MMA website MMANews.se, Bas Rutten presents the argument that elbows should be completely removed from MMA and be replaced with knees to the head.
"How many people have you seen get KOd by elbows? You can count them on one hand. You just get cut, its only on the outside, nobody gets knocked out!
I dono39;t get it, you know.I would say... allow knees on the ground because that will knock people out. Getting hit by a elbow and get cut. Thats not me.
I know people who have based their entire career of cutting people. Never knocking anybody out, never submitting anyone. Not even cutting by elbow strikes, just rubbing it. Thato39;s it. And then they will win the fight."
