When I see Muay Thai fights here in Germany (usually amateur), the fighters typically wear elbow-pads so using them for cutting is not really much of an option. Actually I saw several fights when helping out at a bigger event 2 weeks ago that my gym organized and while people in Muay Thai fights used elbows in clinch for example. I often wondered why the didn't use them more in the very short range just out of clinch. Instead, very short hooks were preferred. I attributed it to most fighters maybe being more used to fighting under K1 rules than Muay Thai since MT is really not a big think in Germany but maybe it also has something to do with elbows just being a less effective option with the elbow-pads?

It was in Putlorlek's home town, or somewhere he has a lot of support. It shouldn't have been a surprise to him, hahaha.
