I want knees to return.
But I don’t think comparing headkicks to knees is exactly fair, simply for the fact you can throw and land 2-3 full power knees to someone’s head in the time it takes to throw and land just one headkick.
I love knees and stomps to downed opponent.
Would make it harder for “lay and prey” wrestle dudes to exploit the rules. Adds excitement. Makes it more real.
I’m OK with the knees & that was an awesome finish.
I can see why soccer kicks & stomps can be too much for people though- makes it look more like a street fight, especially to casual fans.
