Did Fedor ever use kicks or lose to kicks?

[K4BOSH]

He soccer kicked the shit out of people.

Gary Goodridge to the head and Yuji Nagata to the ribs. The Nagata one was funny cause he turtled up, woth no sign to fight back and Fedor just disregarded his shit and turned him belly up with a soccer kick to the ribs lol

LOL . I always loved that part. It was like the ref was anticipating the slam!

I miss the Japanese crowd/refs the most about Pride. Weird huh?

Used kicks against Fujita, Cro Cop, Nog, Babalu, and Monson (duh), among others.

Not great, but serviceable kicking game.

That liver kick on Fujita is a thing of beuty and ultimately what won him the fight rather than the punches IMHO.

Monson is the only where he used kicks (low kicks) consistently, and he broke Monson leg

He could have used them more during his career, but did'nt fit his style, as he preferred feet ever ready to sprint

Monson-fight Fedor was already the shadow of himself though

I recall Monson being super cool after the bout. There was a video of him talking from his hotel room with his broken leg.

The liver kick to Fujita set up the finishing sequence. Really good set up considering Fedor's equilibrium was messed up from the hook by Iron Head earlier in the fight.

 

[fearoth]

Arona's kicks looked brutal

At this point, Cro-Cop was probably thinking "WTF??!!"
