elbow knockouts

[tenzen]

The other night I was watching the ufc can remember what fight but joe rogans dumb ass made a comment about elbows ruining fights because all they do is cut and they have no knockout ability. What the f**k. How dumb can he be a lot of fights end by way of knockout due to an elbow. That's my favorite way to finish. I think what he should have said was that those guys don't have the ability to finish with the elbow. Any thoughts?

Joe Rogan doesnt have a clue about Muay Thai bro,Elbows can Knock Out the same as any other weapon its the target area aimed for that makes the difference,of course Elbows are also good for cuts.

elbows, knees, and top of the skull = the hardest parts of the body.
When any one or these connects well with the knockout buttons (the chin, the temple, the back of the jaw), often times it's "Goodnight pal, we're all done here."

Joe Rogan does not know shit about shit! About as sharp as a marble!

I think some people use more of the forearm striking than with the point of the elbow as i have seen in some styles and systems. Using the eblow like the thais is very sharp with critical timing.

I thought we would all be in agreement. How did this idiot even get involved with fighting I mean I know he is an eddie bravo blackbelt but the giy still don't know shit.

He is not a BB under Eddie, brown maybe...
He got his foot in the door in the early stages, and stuck. Appeals to the 15-28 year old male demographic that are buying Tapout and Affliction clothes!

Elbows can knockout if they are struck hard enough or on the head. But i got elbowed in the head once and i was fine. It depends if the strike is hard enough.

I think he has got it wrong saying such a comment. Elbows are very dangerous blows. Simply pat your elbow against your palm and you will feel the sharpness and solidness of the bone around the elbow.

Forgive me for writing this, but I have written a post on my blog dedicated to the elbow with a great video demonstrating it from a very knowledgeable Thai instructor. The video also shows the elbow in action and proves that what Rogan said is untrue.

Also if anyone could give me the name of the instructor in the video if known, I would be very grateful. The link is,
