Show me a UFC Heavyweight with leg kicks like this

Germans get off on big black men assaulting blonde little girls


Explains they're porn culture and porn habbits. As well as political choices.

is this a thing? lol id say 'fucking europe" but US is basically a cesspool rn too
 
Le Banner wasn't even remotely the best kicker in K1.

In mma we had great leg kickers like Rizzo and Pat Barry, but at heavyweight punches are the real deal.
Even in kickboxing recently the level of boxing went up a lot, Verhoeven is a great kicker but he trains with Tyson Fury.

Hoost was a GOAT low kick-er ; his setups were incredible and I am happy that he taught me some of that secret ninja stuff
 
Young LeBanner was a beast..
He is the best HW to never win K1 GP, had all the physical/athletic/technique abilities in the world and a very good HW chin ( took a flush Aerts HK but still came back to KO him a minute later ) but a terrible fight IQ most of the time
Had he been more "intelligent" in the ring he would have won it several times...
 
Dos Santos had some nice leg kicks against Miocic. Also that spinning kick KO of Hunt and Sparta kick of Rothwell.
 
...because I dont think Ive ever seen one.

Im surprised Bernardos knee didnt snap on impact.

It was all good, they kissed and made up

but Bernardo still got revenge


It was 2003, I used to watch the greats... Aerts, sefo, hunt, le banner, benardo, etc on repeat..... Because I had dial up and took three days to dl one fight.
 
Was a big Le Banner fan back in the day but Peter Aerts probably had the hardest leg kicks.

This is anecdotal, but Bernardo took over 30 leg kicks from Aerts in the 96 GP (before he came back with the KO)

, just one year after this fight. Whereas Bernardo folded after 10-15 leg kicks from Le Banner in the 95 fight.

I didnt specify in the OP but I was talking about the power of their leg kicks. I'd agree that Aerts had better kicking technique and variety than Le Banner, but I still think he kicked a little harder. This was also before Aerts began to look more enhanced the way Le Banner almost always did though.
 
Jerome Le Banner is such a badass. I miss those good 'ol K1 days. I was in highschool and the tournaments were broadcasted on Eurosport. I was training taekwondo at the time and i remember saying to myself "this is real fighting" haha. Then we would debate which is better between Bonjaski spinning back kicks and Kaoklai knees haha. Those were good times...

Le Banner just got bigger and bigger and more powerful over those years and it got to a point where he stopped the bullrush of prime 350lb Bob Sapp in its tracks and just man handled him, used him as a punching bag. Only guy to do that, the others who beat him had to evade the initial bullrush.
 
For MMA HW leg kicks I'm thinking Pedro Rizzo, Antoni Hardonk, and Pat Barry.

That sounds correct. :) Technique wise, speaking low kicks, I also think Ernesto Hoost had a smart trick where he always finished his combos with a low kick. And the cool thing is that he usually threw them while backing away.
