Not the most effective move really. Waste of time when you can do other moves. You also potentially risk to lose your advantage of pressuring someone against the cage when you lift one foot up and leave only one leg to support you.
Remember the Paul Varelans vs Marco Ruas fight for the final?. That was the best foot stomps ever in MMA. Brutal foot stompsI have still seen them and recently.
Marco Ruas smiles.

Jeff Blatnik was like "The Polar Bear is melting, he's melting, doesn't know how to block the foot stomps and leg kicks".
Great fight in history.
Yeah great fight, Ruas was so tough, I seriously thought he was gonna lose when Varelans had him in a standing guillotine choke and he was so strong he lifted Ruas off his feet with it, I was sure Ruas was gonna tap.I’ll never forget that fight.
It played out like a Hollywood movie.
It was awesome to see a striker prevail in such a drawn out and technical fashion.
Gotta look it up and watch it now!
Random fun fact: Foot stomps were banned at UFC 97.
On February 12, 2009, reports surfaced that province regulators ("Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux", or RACJ) requested a set of rule changes that differ from the Unified Rules of MMA put the event at risk from taking place.[3] The proposed rule changes banned elbow and knee strikes, mandated a smaller cage, and would stop a fight when a fighter gets knocked down.[3][4] Before, the RACJ has followed the Unified Rules, but as laws differ by city, state, or province, a commission can insist on the usage of its own rules.[5]
On February 18, 2009, it was announced that UFC officials were able to convince the RACJ to reverse its stand and use the Unified Rules. As a concession, the UFC agreed to the banning of foot stomps for this event.[6]
