 * ... that 12-6 elbows are illegal in MMA on the grounds that "the clock doesn't move"?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Interesting topic, long/neutral enough, adequate sourcing, though it needs a bit of copyediting (there were a few run-on sentences). However, I have a problem with the hook, as it somewhat contradicts what is said in the body (i.e. the hook says its illegal because the clock doesn't move, but the body text says its not illegal in a certain circumstance because the clock doesn't move).
 * ALT 1. ... that in mixed martial arts, 12-6 elbows are legal if the fighter is on his back because "the clock doesn't move"?
 * ALT 2. ... that the rule forbidding 12-6 elbows under the Unified Rules of MMA has been criticized for being worded too strictly?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed for hooks suggested by User:ViperSnake151 per Rule H2. Yoninah (talk)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 is probably the most interesting hook and has been verified by provided inline citation. The rest of review was conducted previous by ViperSnake151, --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:02, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
