A little late here, but absolutely. As long as it's not going straight down ("12 to 6"). Jon Jones' only MMA loss is by DQ for throwing 12-6 elbows.
Yair is known for his creative striking so that was right in his wheelhouse.
And no saved by the bell in MMA. As long as the strike is before the bell, its a KO even if the fighter doesn't hit the ground until after the bell. (so you can have a 5:00 KO that way). So if it's a close call, sometimes refs will give the knocked down fighter the benefit of the doubt unless he's CLEARLY unconscious, like Zombie was here.
