Most of those are more limiting to wrestlers than stand up strikers, imo.

Why bother kicking the season off at a 30k capacity ground though; waste of the occasion.
NRL announces 2018 draw
Warner at least showed something when he played in the UAE against Pakistan though where he made the only Australian hundred of the tour, and appears to have at least some plan against spin even when he performs poorly.
Khawaja on the other hand has never showed any ability in the subcontinent, and plays spin like he’s completely unsure of what to do.
Khawaja right to criticise Australia’s selection policy
Matt Hume happens to agree on the 12-6 rule, but it’s generally applied to the downwards point of the elbow strike rather than the precisely 12-6.
I think the strike “In brief” is talking about though is the elbow to the head from the bottom position on the ground (like at the end of the Anderson Silva / Travis Lutter fight).

I’m not sure Cameron White laying into the Tasmanian bowling attack and failing three times really makes him eligible for the ODI side.
Siddle should be well back in Ashes pecking order
Elbows from a fighter on their back aren’t banned in the UFC, it’s the top down 12-6 elbow that’s not allowed.

Given the number of people who have won Olympic medals while on PEDs, I’m not sure the IOC knows more than any other sporting body.
Mouncey ineligible for AFL Women's draft
I understand that hormone levels normalise, but they’ve still had the advantage of years of physical development with a much higher level of testosterone than their competitors — the additional muscle, bone, and cardiovascular strength takes time to return to more normal levels. There’s more to consider than current levels otherwise there’d be no reason to test athletes out of competition for PEDs either.

Edit that I can’t make because the comment system here is borked: without a significant cooling off period anyway.

Good decision, nobody who grows to maturity as a man should be competing in womens sports — it’s scarcely removed from several years of PED use in outcome.

He’s Starc but slightly worse in every respect including injury history.
Jason Behrendorff needs to be part of Australia’s Ashes plan
Hunt doesn’t just have brain trauma from fighting, he’s got a lot of damage from things outside the ring too.
Mark Hunt's UFC career could be over
Carey doesn’t know which end of the bat to hold, he’s not worth mentioning either.
Why Handscomb should keep in ODIs
The Kangaroos aren’t showy though, they just put the opposition through the meat grinder in a way that’s only interesting to watch if it’s actually a contest — I tuned off the four nations final after half an hour last year and I doubt I was the only one.
The Kangaroos winning the RLWC is a foregone conclusion
No doubt the next series in England will even it back up.
2017-18 Ashes set to break 32-all historical deadlock
Not so much a group of death as a group of consolidated mediocrity.

2 lightweights, Diaz never won a significant title, and Matt Hughes who achieved a lot with a very narrow set of skills.
Demetrious Johnson isn't MMA's GOAT
Handscomb isn’t a good enough keeper, especially if Australia have to play on the spin friendly pitch in Cardiff.

Hard to agree with that, the Welterweight roster when GSP was king was comprised mostly of quite limited fighters.

I bet a whole lot of Queenslanders would really like for Cleary to run out in the sky blue next year… practically giving them the trophy for another generation, he’s nowhere near ready.
Time for Cooper Cronk to come clean
Bit harsh to say Johnson needs to go up a division and fight the top guys there; GSP stayed put at Welterweight his entire career, and Anderson Silva only went up for a few gimme fights. The only guy who consistently went up in weight classes was BJ Penn and I don’t think it did him a lot of good — even though he was probably the best American lightweight for a long long time he’s rarely credited as more than a footnote.
Looking at their actual records, I think Mighty Mouse has as good an opposition list as anyone — a lot of the guys Silva and GSP fought were pretty one dimensional by the standards of elite MMA fighters.

It’s a rare game when you see Taumalolo virtually anonymous.

He ran less than 100 metres in the finals match between these two teams last year.

Moderating risks, fighter safety, and honestly protecting the entertainment value of the product too; watching Mark Coleman bludgeoning guys into oblivion with headbutts back in the day was brutal.
