Sonnen: Leg kicks aren't effective

someone try tell this to buakaw, sonnen really is retarded these days they need to just stop putting him in the news..... Phone Post

We should vote for Sonnen VS Hendo.

I want that fight!! Winner fights Anderson Silva Part 2

The best technique for MMA is the TKO. A lot of fights are won utilizing this potent weapon. I only train TKO myself.

I sometimes train decision as well.

Who's the black guy? (Not Cecil, the guy in the vid.)

rbl -  Weak leg kicks are useless and a liability but hard, clean leg kicks from someone who's good at them will fuck you up. Randy Couture has talked about what Rizzo's leg kicks did to his leg, part of the muscle died. Guys who kick like that would do hundreds of kicks a day for years, plus have the experience to set up and land the kick, obviously converted wrestlers or BJJ guys in MMA are rarely going to develop that kind of power but that doesn't mean it's not possible.


I think this is true of kicks in general. For average people who train a few hours a week, boxing and wrestling/Judo are pretty good for developing a well-rounded skill set. Kicking well is hard to lear relative to using your hands. Even for pros, there's only so much time to train and unless you have been working on kicks for years, you may end up getting dumped, or dumping yourself. For all those gifs of effective low kicks, there are gifs of the kicks being countered with a straight punch and/or a takedown.

AndersonSilvasMoney - Lawl. Chael is trolling n u guyz alwayz fall 4 it!

God I hope Chael keeps this shit up because even his nuthuggers are beginning to realize that saying inane shit all the time does not make you the funniest guy since George Carlin - it makes you look like an asshole.

This guy's right. Chael is really over doing it. He used to be funny. Now he's just an idiot. Anyone see his interview on OTR? He kept contradicting himself. Phone Post

mcq -  I'd also add, regardless of fight ending potential, watching a fighter who is proficient with leg kicks is fantastic.  Love it.  Persoally, I would rather watch Desmond Dekker throwing leg kicks than any high-caliber wrestler completing takedowns.  I don't dislike wrestling, but man how can you not appreciate a good leg kick?

i'd LOVE to see that! lol


im sure you meant ramon dekkers the dutch muay thai fighter and not desmond dekker, the jamaican ska/reggae pioneer
 

Lol!!!! That would be good to see.
That's funny as shit. My chick was blasting Buju last night and guess my mind crossed wires. Phone Post

Jumbo, theres also lots of gifs of people using their hands effectively and alot of gifs of people getting dumped and kicked when throwing those hands.

Just like punches, its all about when you throw them. Prime example of bad judgement when throwing a kick is Stann vs Sonnen. Stann came out for round two and threw a lead body kick and got taken down. Just like everything in MMA, its all about decisions and timing.

Same guy who said bjj wasn't effective either. Yet losses fights against it. Phone Post

 LOL @ this idiot troll still trolling.

citing kickboxing matches as examples of how they are effective for MMA makes for a pretty lousy argument

Lol at the response to mine. I didnt say they didnt work. I see an awful lot of guys throw half hearted leg kicks that just get them jabbed in the face. If your gonna do it then use it stra tegically. Guys like Vera do it the right way. The body kick is underused imo. Phone Post

In that gif chael threw a kick like a complete noob..damm he sucks

Chael knows lots about finishing fights, we should all listen to the great wisdom spewing from his mouth.

Lol@ the troll telling people to kick just so he can get the take down. Phone Post

I guess because a jab rarely ends a fight it must be a secondary tool as well. This sounds so stupid.

Go and take 5 bad ones and get back to me on how effective they are.

Stupid fuck! lol!

They are useless against Sonnen because he doesnt give you time to execute them. He is in on you like White on Rice. Its hard to get leg kicked when your 2 inches from the guy.

paluka - video games? wtf. That's like saying body punches don't do anything. It's not just a KO that wins fights. The more things you have to defend against the more dangerous the fight.

Most superman punches are setup with some sort of leg kick or feint. It adds fatigue, and slows people down. How is it not effective?

Noone said they weren't effective at all, they're just not as effective as other strikes.

How many fights have been ended by leg kicks? How many fights have been ended by punching someone in the face? How many by head kick?

Guess which one is going to have the lowest number. That means they're secondary offense and not very effective.
Ha ! No one said they weren't effective ?? What is the title of the thread ? <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
