I have fought in every org in this game, and can also attest that my clinch monsters with Punches/Elbows/Knees also get destroyed by guys with just punches with the normal clinch stats being
Them
Clinch Punch Attempts 30
Clinch Punch Landed 22
Me
Clinch Punch Attempts 12
Clinch Punch Landed 8
Clinch Knee Attempts 15
Clinch Knee Landed 4
Clinch Elbow Attempts 13
Clinch Elbow Landed 3
I have come to understand not to waste points on Knees and Elbows, because punches will land more, and keep me below the tickers easier, and thats just wrong IMO
