I too like no elbows on the ground...they are effective at cutting but that is about it. I hate the cage more than anything...i like the ring. all the pushing, holding and using the cage to get up creates an unnatural enviroment. Way more strikers got taken down in Pride or One than UFC.I like the ground fighting better in pride, with no elbows theres less cuts and you cant just lay in guard and score points. You actually have to create distance and gives the bottom guy a better chance to improve position. The knees and kicks to the head is just instinct to me. Why the fuck would you lay on the ground knowing a stomp or kick to the head is coming. You get the fuck up. Your postion dictates if your protected in ufc
