  1. You can 12 to 6 the shoulder muscles if they are trying to take u down against the cage or the soft.muscles of the back

  3. Keep it banned, its not needed. Fighters have enough weapons to use if they are MIXED Martial artist

  6. I couldn't agree more i like violent fights but the main way i see a 12-6 playing out is in full mount to the top of the head and honestly I wouldn't like seeing that. Almost worse than seeing a hockey players skate cut another players neck just too cringy

  7. It should be banned because you don't know where it will land? Well Eddie Alvarez landed it on Dustin Poirier's shoulder. So what's the argument for that to be banned? You don't want to see someone land an elbow on the eye socket, ok, but what does that have to do with hitting someone in the shoulder?

  8. Imo, another example against 12-6 is when one Fighter A is going for a double leg takedown, and has Fighter B pressed up against the cage, what's to stop Fighter B from 12-6 elbowing him in the spine? I know there's already a rule against purposely attacking the spine, but they can say they were aiming for the shoulder. It's already been proven that certain fighters are willing to skirt the rules to their advantage.

  9. nah, its fine. obviously you cant throw it to the top of the head and kill people with it, but why should eddie alverez be stood up for throwing a completely stupid waste of energy 6-12 elbow to poiriers shoulder. the strike is so stupid and so pointless that it should be legal. dude. people stand up in guard and throw, basically, falling straight right hands to grounded opponents. your stupid 6-12 elbow is really never going to do that kind of damage to somebody. unless you target the skull or spine. but i could kick you in the back of the head or in the spine, too. and kicks arent illegal.

  10. 8 days ago, Chael said that this rule is ridiculous. Today it is NOT ridiculous. Both times he was absolutely correct.

    GOAT.
