Elbows and knees are allowed in the WCL. It just seems to me that the WCL is serious about having really fast fights that display very fast action. It is fun for me to watch a KO instide of three minutes where the fighter used a lot of technique in fast paced action. In the WCL clinch you either throw constant techniques or you get a point lost. That served to create great fights. Danni Abbadi, a nobody when in MMA, is in fact a very talented Muay Thai fighter. I watched him clinch and KO a guy with his knees. It was nice. |
