Chael Sonnen says Daniel Cormier is correct, 12-6 elbows SHOULD be illegal….

1. What about 11 to 5 or 1 to 7 elbows?

2. I agree with him but on the same token, how many strikes are gonna be banned till they're basically playing flag football mma!? Who is the arbiter of how hard a strike has to be to become banned? What is the amount of force that's too much?

3. Anybody see the gif of Yoel Romero elbowing Derek Brunson to the liver repeatedly lol. Pure nastiness…no way u want Yoel to 12 to 6 u to ur eye

4. You could use the 12-6 elbow against somebody who is sitting in your closed guard.

5. I could've sworn I saw a fight where a guy was clinching and trying to get a takedown but got knocked out by vicious elbow strikes to the top of the head?

6. Completely agree Chael

7. Wait, but Chael, have you experience brick breaking first hand? I was around this some years back and I was SURE it was all bullshit. So I tried breaking them and was surprised to see these were legit bricks!

   While most of the brick breaking was bullshit, using soft bricks, some were legit.

   That’s said, I’m with you on the 12-6. Great job saying what no one else has articulated
