Gaethje's leg kicks

[Conor Strickland]

Do you think Gaethje has the hardest leg kicks in the UFC rn?

 

[RockyLockridge]

Gaethje, Martinez, Volk, Periera, Barboza are the best leg kickers around.

I don't know about hardest, I'm sure Tom Aspinall's leg kick would be harder but relaltive to the division they fight in, The efficaicy of Gaethje's leg kick may be highest in the UFC

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Honestly he throws them hard as fuck but he often throws himself out of balance and blasts em naked. He threw a right leg kick against Olivera which broke his stance/ let him get clinched and dropped.

Fiziev has far cleaner form but he doesn't fight with 15 minutes in mind. Justin has better cardio and pacing of his weapons.

Glad you gave Aspinall an honourable mention.

Pavlovich usually eats leg kicks for breakfast and he was almost knocked over by the first one Aspinall threw.

As for OP, I would say Poatan, he usually has his opponents compromised within 2 or 3 kicks.

Pereira seems to have his opponents flailing after fewer but Gaethje must be close….

 

[michhmoggan]

Poatan the best technique and blakovicz the best bones

 

[Dick]

P4P Gaethje is the best. Last time Aspinall threw a leg kick he fell to the ground writhing in pain. Definitely not him.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Poatans calf kicks are surgical. Just deadens dudes nerves almost immediately. But Gaethje wings haymakers with his leg kicks. Straight through the target and out the other side.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Gaethje throws leg kicks like Wand threw hooks

 

[kingmob6]

Usman's toe stumps are the hardest

Still gaining sample data on Poatan's leg kicks, but the conclusion looks to be he has an incredibly strong leg kick game. The Jiri fight was great in that area, it really caused a problem for Jiri

I think Alex has the most efficient one.

Obviously not. He's a lightweight ffs.

It can be fun to watch the lighter weight classes, but don't delude yourself into thinking that they have as much power as guys that outweigh by 50+ lbs.

I mean pound 4 pound

very possible just wanna see a few more fights from him to be sure. Im still in the data collecting phase but it looks really really good

 

[SG123]

Pereira seems to do the most damage, Gaethje probably second

 

[wh4tttt]

I think Alex has the most efficient one.

Him being so tall and his target is mid calf. Very little motion for him to smash that leg. He's so good at it, it looks like a simple chip shot in golf.

It was crazy that he still was able to move well after 50 leg kicks landed from Gathje and knocked him out in the 4th

 

[Question]

At the moment or at least in more recent memory, Pereira's have been really impressive.
What really impressed me about them is how much it puzzled guys like Izzy and Jan who are both very solid kickboxers in their own regard.
