Best front kick KO ever?

[HHJ]

What impresses me also is that he had to track Ferg down as he was moving laterally, then suddenly stopped to throw the kick and actually found the chin. None of the other front kick KOs listed involved this combination of movement and timing.

Right...it was a sudden decision,where the others,they really pondered before they threw it. They set it up.

This had no set up,He simply threw it with all his might and gambled Tony would be there.

I mean a front kick KO is always a thing of beauty but that crane kick by Lyoto is just so iconic....

 

[Y2Khaos]

Who has the best front kick KO/TKO? Chandler's was the most devasting, Ferguson was out for awhile.

Machida also knockout Rich Franklin with a front kick.

 

[10000yearsold]

silva Vitor by far.

 

[BoxingMMA]

Hate to be that guy but my favorite is not in MMA

 

[Lax617]

They're each impressive in their own way. For me the distance Machida covers to catch Randy (and take a tooth) stands out. That was tough to watch as a big Couture fan too.

 

[StonedLemur]

First of all Tony had never been flatlined like that, and Justin had hit him with 1800 missles and he was still standing.

I hate Chandler personally but that was far and away the best front kick ever.

 

[Huligani]

Chandler's was the most devastating, Machida's was the most picture perfect. Silva's isn't as perfect as either of them since he needed follow up punches to seal the deal.

 

[BigGucciSosa]

Andersons was the og plus it was a title fight

 

[Foppa21]

Has anyone brought up the one Daniel LaRusso threw?

 

[RedMountain]

 

[Deleted member 504083]

Silva is the only one to land it on a fighter who's not completely washed

 

[Bouboumaster]

Machida's Crane Kick

 

[GSP_37]

Chandler for impact and Tony's faceplant.

 

[Grill master]

As iconic as Anderson's was the fact that the kick alone didn't really knock Vitor out and he needed GNP to put him away takes away some luster

Execution wise it was like Ankalaev or Travis

Ben Alloway has the most underrated. It won KOTN too but is never talked about and he set it up perfectly directly after a body kick and timing a TD which is rare for alot of these other front kicks. Anderson's had people trying it all the way down in the regional scene and people were inspired by it and this one wasn't long after

Benny Alloway. Now that a name I haven't heard in a long time

Silva was iconic for the sport, machida was out of the movies, and chandlers was like wtf no way, from me. I don’t ever think I’ve seen him throw front kicks before until now.

 

[Wormwood]

Machida vs Couture - straight out of the All Valley Karate Championship

 

[mmamxfan]

I'm going with Machida vs Couture because of the tooth flying.
Silva vs Belfort second.
Chandler vs Tony was good, but let's be honest. Tony could get a front kick from a baby while changing their diaper and get ko'd these days.

 

[Hog-train]

Silva's was the most precise. And the first.

 

[The J0ker]

Machida on Couture due to the fact that it's a flying kick.
