you're dumb TS, shut up.
Hughes renzo. K1 Hughes had the best leg kicks mma has ever seen, clearly.
They are like body shots. They add up.
Poirier absorbing 30+ leg kicks from Justin then koing him impressed the hell out of me. I woke both my kids up jumping and screaming with excitement. Mrs was pissed
Pat Barry had one TKO on leg kicks in the UFC. Aldo pretty much stopped Faber with leg kicks
You don’t know shit about fighting.You can say the same thing about body punches, but it's dumber than dumb to claim they aren't effective.
Interesting. Your entire premise, that leg kicks aren't "effective" because they don't usually knock someone out would suggest the same thing, about you.You don’t know shit about fighting.
Absolutely no set up and loaded too. Poor
Nice leg kick by Irvin.

No bs questionI would throw a lot of leg kicks in fights before my coach told me to scrap that and focus on my better weapons.
I asked him why and he said: "Unless you have the power to finish a guy with leg kicks, you should focus on other strikes that will do more damage. A leg kick can easily be checked and even if you are a heavy leg kicker, it's very hard to finish a high level opponent with it and easy to get countered".
Unless you have Barboza type leg kick power, it should be used to set-up high kicks or sweeps. Leg kicking is a long term investment in a fight, you rarely see people finishing guys with it in the first or second round. The longer it goes, the higher your chances are for a counter.
Before Sherdog crucifies me for dissing leg kicks, I'm not. It's a great weapon, but it's a weapon that rarely finishes fights. It should be used to get your opponent thinking. You hurt him a bit, get him thinking low and you start going high. When he knows you are going high, go low again..etc etc etc.

are they though? I don't think Joanna got any points for the leg kicks she used against Rose. Not saying she won the fight but 4 rounds to 1?
Andy Hug ended a guy with a spinning heel kick to the legI believe Justin finished 2 guys with leg kicks in WSOF
/threadWow. Jabs rarely knock guys out, so boxers should stop throwing them...
