You do know some WC lineages has an elbow form right?
Ne way...even in small space you may not be in elbow range. If try to launch an elbow from the outside your going to get trapped or controlled. The best time to throw an elbow is when you are too close for your opponent to stop you from making contact.
Elbows should be thrown when your in the lions mouth!

There were no punch, kick, lock, throw, ground game in that fight.
In a phone booth, you may have to punch 3 times to knock down one person. You may drop one person just by one single elbow. When you deal with multiple opponents in a small space, 3 punches to a person may be a "luxury".
