Replying to a redditor:

> Which rule in MMA (UFC rules) would you change if you could? Or add a rule for that matter if you want. ;)

> Good question! I'd take out the downward elbows rule. It's not necessary as long as the legal striking areas are clear and enforced. Any strikes to the back of the head and spine are dangerous and this is where the downward elbow is most effective, particularly during takedown defense against the fence. It's no more dangerous than any other elbow in another position though.
