One of the most devastating techniques in mixed martial arts is the leg kick. Fighters utilize this technique as a way to break their opponents will and, if properly executed, a leg kick can also finish a fight.
Leg kicks might not look like much, but they are one of the most painful strikes a fighter can have in his arsenal.
One of the first guys to utilize leg kicks in MMA was the legendary Marco Ruas. Ruas was competing in MMA long before the sport was even called MMA, and he would brutally batter his opponents with a series of powerful kicks to the leg.
