Where are all the injuries from those kicks though? Yoel ate a fuckton of those kicks in his last fight against Whitaker and his leg is fine. There are more fighters injuring their leg kicking shit. So lets ban leg kicks
firas and his fighters would be the first ones to cry if something happened to their top fighters
he isn't his son... gspIs Wonderboy not one of his fighters, though?
He has high level credentials in BJJ wrestling and striking, I think he’s competed in all of them individually.
If there’s a coach in sports you are going to make that argument against it’s not him.
Have you had an MMA fight?
nah a good guy not to make that argument against would be duane ludwig, since he has actually competed in mma
firas is a great guy to make the argument against because as i said, he has never competed in mma. so fuck that guy
like i'm gonna take advice on making my dinner from a guy who has never made a meal in his life. "oh but i think about making meals a lot", lol cool story firas
his big speech on somatotyping was hilarious as well, as if he thinks there is some rule in nature that governs peoples physiques. bunch of 1940s broscience, was really shocked to hear him go on about that.

So no. Lolllllim gonna prove my own point by saying that ive done wrestling, tae kwon do, and boxing, putting me at least on an even footing with firas here. its 50/50 bruh, you can go along with whichever one you think is an authority here. however, i'm with wonderboy, the mma fighter
Some techniques are banned because of the injuries they can cause.
12-6 elbow, kicking a downed opponent, Groin strike, attacks to the eye or spine. Back of the head. It's a sport not a street brawl.
There's a huge argument to banning the knee kick. It's a sneaky move to injure your opponent rather than "beat" him.
I always thought he trained at Serra/Longo.Is Wonderboy not one of his fighters, though?
Don't know where I remember if from, but seems to me at one point it was considered illegal to strike the joint directly. Striking above or below was fine but the knee itself was not. I am almost certain it was even mentioned during a PPV by Joe. No idea of its legitimacy rule wise then to now either.
That said, if its legal its legal, learn to defend or fall prey.
